| Karen Roeb of Fertility Miracles does an excellent job. |
| The support we received from the agency was invaluable. They provided us with guidance that was both logistical and emotional. Karen Roeb was "a miracle" just as the name suggests. We could not have done this without her. |
| They were absolutely great to our surrogate mother and to us. And what is very, very important they seemed to be there for us almost every time. |
| We actually changed our agency from a previous not satisfactory one to Fertility Miracles. We can't believe there will be any one else who is doing better than Fertility Miracles. They cared everything about the boy and helped to give us a perfect boy! Through this surrogacy journey, we become good friends. We are sharing the happiness of everything of the boy with our friends. Actually, we are trying our second surrogacy through Fertility Miracles. This time, we want a girl!! |
| Fertility Miracles was incredible. Words can't express how amazing they are all around. I have two amazing daughters and I owe it all to them. They truly are the best out there.
I know as I first used a different agency and the experience was horrible, a complete opposite to Fertility Miracles. |
| Our surrogacy journey was very traumatic as we experienced a miscarriage and, sadly, the death of one of our twins but throughout all of these difficulties our Surrogacy Agency was totally committed and supportive. Despite us being on the other side of the world and in different time zones, our Surrogacy Agency was always available to us and we had total confidence in them. We relied on them completely to guide us through the various steps of the surrogacy and they worked extremely hard to help us finally achieve our dream of becoming parents. |
| they were fantastic. The only issue is the costs, they are too high and should be lowered to have more people access to this incredible journey. |
| They have been very helpful and supportive. I needed the human approach and I had it since day one. They were caring, understanding, they were listening. The connection was fantastic. The other agencies made us feel like we were dollar bills entering their agency. Only a business that take advantage of people that can not have children naturally. |
| Karen and the whole staff at Fertility Miracles were just amazing. While our entire journey had ups and downs, I can honestly say that once we found FM, it was all up from there. From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and moved at a nice pace that was quite reassuring to us. The lawyer and fertility specialist to whom we were referred were of the same quiality, as well. They really made us feel comfortable that they knew what they were doing and we were going to have a baby...or babies in our case. I cannot overstate how perfectly wonderful Karen and the whole staff took care of us. |
| The Surrogacy agency I chose was Fertility Miracles and this was a great choice as I had a great relationship with my surrogate and that is obviously so important. They not only provided an excellent surrogate but the overall service was 100% |
| Fertility Miracles was one of five agencies that we interviewed after having some very negative experiences with both very large and very small agencies. FM was recommended by our lawyer (who we trusted), who had nothing but positive feedback for them as an agency.
From our initial conversations, we really felt that FM took the time to understand our personalities and how we'd interact with a surrogate. She paired us perfectly with a surrogate that shared our desired interaction level and the surrogacy aspects went very, very smoothly. FM was always quick to answer questions and handle aspects of the relationship that fell more on the facilitation side. I feel that they always represented both sides of the transaction with fairness and compassion.
Our boys are now 2+ in age and we have an incredibly strong relationshp with both our surrogate, who visits us twice annually, and our agency.
Nothing but positive feedback for Fertility Miracles and would recommend them to anyone else starting this process.
