Recipient Parent Testimonials

"We have worked with Celia at Compassionate Beginnings for years. When our IVF journey didn't go the way we thought, they were there to provide support and encouragement. We have used them for an anonymous egg donor and for surrogacy. Celia is amazing and honestly can't say enough about her support. Our journey has had many twists and turns and Celia has been there all the way. I wouldn't entrust my journey to any other agency. The service we received has been outstanding and filled with compassion and guidance every step of the way."

"Compassionate Beginnings was the place for me and every single step since my first has been full of love, good energy, and green flags. Celia is communicative and loving with her carriers; she is thoughtful and intentional with her matches. If you’re considering becoming a gestational carrier and crave a relationship with your intended parents, Compassionate Beginnings is the best space for you to be."

"Going through the process of infertility is not one that anyone expects to find themselves in and the choices that must be made along the way can feel impossible and confusing. We had no idea when we began our journey through this process that we would end up needing to use the services of an egg donor to move forward; it was a challenging thing to accept at first and my list of questions were long and my concerns were many. When we made the choice to use Compassionate Beginnings, I knew we had found the right place; they were so willing to give us the time and space to make the best decision we could. It meant the world to us to have real people understanding our real challenges and spending the time it took to make the process ours. They are a top-notch, supportive, always there for you, wonderful organization to work with!​"

"I can not say enough good things about Compassionate Beginnings! I am a surrogate and the time, love and care Celia has put into each of my surrogacy journey's (2 going on 3); she truly makes me feel like I am her number one client. I am grateful for her guidance and yes, compassion through it all."

"Donating with Compassionate Beginnings has been so rewarding and special to me. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and checked in on me. They have made me feel sincerely cared for throughout every cycle. They truly are “compassionate” women and I’m so grateful for my experience with them!​"
