ACRC Surrogacy Success Stories: Celebrating Pregnancy Milestones and the Team Behind Each Journey

ACRC Surrogacy Success Stories: Celebrating Pregnancy Milestones and the Team Behind Each Journey

A smiling pregnancy update. An ultrasound showing tiny feet. A conversation that helps a future parent understand their next step.

These moments bring the surrogacy journey to life.

In this edition of ACRC Global’s Weekly Success Stories, we celebrate two ongoing pregnancies reaching 13 and 28 weeks and share highlights from our educational event with Southern California Reproductive Center (SCRC). Together, these stories show the people, communication, and coordination behind each family-building journey.

For intended parents exploring U.S. surrogacy and women considering becoming surrogates, they offer a closer look at what support can mean along the way.

Helping Intended Parents Understand Egg Donation and Surrogacy With SCRC

ACRC Global and its long-standing fertility clinic partner, Southern California Reproductive Center (SCRC), brought prospective parents together for an in-person educational seminar: “It Takes a Village: Navigating Egg Donation and Surrogacy.”

The event created space for intended parents at different stages of planning to meet SCRC reproductive specialists and ACRC’s case consulting team, ask questions, and better understand their options.

SCRC specialists discussed medical considerations surrounding egg donation and surrogacy. During the Q&A, attendees had the opportunity to raise individual concerns and hear explanations directly from the physicians.

For someone beginning their research, access to these conversations can make the next step feel more manageable.

How Do a Surrogacy Agency and Fertility Clinic Work Together?

A surrogacy agency and a fertility clinic have distinct, complementary roles. The clinic manages fertility treatment and medical decisions, while the agency helps coordinate matching, communication, and the practical stages of the journey.

At the seminar, ACRC and SCRC shared how collaboration connects these responsibilities. Clear communication helps intended parents and surrogates understand upcoming steps, prepare for appointments, and know whom to contact with questions.

As pregnancy progresses, coordination also involves the surrogate’s prenatal care providers. Each professional contributes within their area of responsibility, with the surrogate’s wellbeing and the family’s needs central to the process.

Surrogate I’s Pregnancy Update: Celebrating 28 Weeks

Reaching 28 weeks is a meaningful milestone in Surrogate I’s journey.

In a recent pregnancy video shared with the ACRC team, she appeared cheerful and full of energy. During her conversation with her case manager, she described the joy she feels in helping another family work towards welcoming a baby.

Her update offered a personal glimpse into what this experience means to her: the pride of contributing to another family’s future and the relationships built along the way.

For the intended parents, these moments create opportunities to feel connected as the pregnancy progresses. A video, a conversation, or a shared update can become a treasured part of their story.

As Surrogate I continues her pregnancy, ACRC remains available to support communication and coordinate practical next steps alongside her healthcare providers.

We are grateful for her generosity and look forward to celebrating the milestones still ahead.

Surrogate S’s Pregnancy Update: A Reassuring Milestone at 13 Weeks

Surrogate S has reached 13 weeks, with a reassuring update from her latest appointment. Ultrasound images offered a glimpse of the baby’s developing legs and tiny feet—details that make this stage especially memorable.

Another meaningful part of her story is the support she receives at home.

Her partner has accompanied her to appointments and helped with everyday needs, offering encouragement throughout the journey. That presence gives her someone to share the experience with and turn to when she needs support.

Why Does a Surrogate’s Support System Matter?

A dependable support system can help a surrogate manage the practical and emotional demands of the journey. This may include help with transport, childcare, household responsibilities, or simply having someone who listens.

Surrogate S’s experience highlights how family support and agency coordination can work alongside professional medical care.

As her pregnancy continues, ACRC will remain in contact, help coordinate updates, and support communication between everyone involved.
