I couldn't be happier, more proud or honored to have been apart of such a miracle. Just as healthy and as cute as can be, Jacob is Parenthood Options first surrogate baby born. While all babies are special, Jacob, his parents and his surrogate will always have a very special place with us.

Since opening our doors in December 2004, many things have transpired and I wanted to post some testimonials and give a bit of an update. The first year has been incredibly rewarding, from being at transfers, to seeing baby's first heartbeat on the ultrasound monitor... even video taping court proceedings to grant two Intended Fathers rights as parents on a birth certificate.

With the good comes the bad. When a cycle has failed, knowing that everyone felt supported was a silver lining in the clouds. I am honored that my clients and surrogates have chosen Parenthood Options to help fulfill their dreams of having children and on many occasions, invited me to be apart of the entire process

Parenthood Options has not only been fabulous in finding us a wonderful surrogate to carry our second child, but a tremendous support throughout the pregnancy. Stacy Ziegler treats her Intended Parents as friends and we trust her opinions and ideas. Whenever an issue arises, Stacy is "on it" and I feel like I can call her anytime of day. Having done this before with our first son I had an advantage because I knew what to expect, but even if I was new to surrogacy it would have been an absolute pleasure to work with Stacy. I will highly recommend Parenthood Options to any couple searching for a gestational carrier. There are several ways to create your family and I believe the surrogacy experience is the best choice. I know our relationship with Stacy will last forever.

Though we haven't completed our journey, Stacy has been so wonderful through the entire surrogacy. From matching me with the perfect couple, to attending the transfer, she has been by my side. I couldn't have asked for a better agency director, both professionally and personally. Stacy has been our "rock" when it comes to moral support. I have gone to Stacy many times for advice, opinions, and often just a shoulder to cry on! My first two surrogacy's were independent, and I honestly don't know how I did it without the help of a great agency.

I feel like I have had the pleasure of working with the most compassionate and understanding woman. Stacy was always there for me as well as for my family. Being already a surrogate before and coming from an awful experience I was a little worried working with a new agency but Stacy made my experience the best it could be. She was always very professional but as a friend as well and someone who I know I could count on. It was so comforting to have her there at the transfer and I know how disappointed she was not to have made the birth. I could not have had a better “match” with my intended parents who I will treasure my relationship with forever. I feel very blessed and privileged to have worked with Stacy and would highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend choosing Parenthood Options to handle your surrogacy. I couldn't have been any happier with the agency or its owner, Stacy Ziegler. Stacy's enthusiastic and compassionate style made it a real pleasure to work with her. She made me feel comfortable right away and handled all the details of our surrogacy with professionalism and expertise. Now that our beautiful baby has arrived, I miss working with Stacy and Parenthood Options. We will forever be grateful for the joy that Stacy helped bring into our lives.

My partner and I did extensive research on surrogacy agencies before coming to Parenthood Options. It was actually another agency that recommended Stacy to us! We wanted a smaller agency that offered personalized, hands-on care. We could not be happier with our experience! Stacy answered all of our questions every step of the way and her vast experience, responsiveness, professionalism, and connections in the field enabled us to have the journey we dreamed of. Stacy found us a wonderful surrogate and though we live far from her, we had complete confidence that Stacy was taking care of things. We had Stacy's total availability and perpetual reassurance. Her enthusiasm for the experience matched our own and her caring and empathy frequently touched us. Our beautiful son is a year old and we will forever be grateful to our surrogate and to Parenthood Options who made it all possible.
