Happy Mom – “donor eggs was the best thing for our family”.
Jill & Matt – The decision to use donor eggs. Christie goes “above and beyond”.
Christie has been an incredible resource and advocate. She took the time to review and discuss the egg donors with us; her involvement definitely helped us decide which donor to choose. We were reassured knowing that Christie met with the donors individually and would inform them of what the process entailed. She always went above and beyond and would call or email, even on her day off, just to check in on how we were doing…..we always felt like she was rooting for us to succeed.
Infertility is difficult for anyone that has to go through it; however, we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and caring person to help us along the way!”— Jill and Matt
M&H, two dads from the East Coast – A note of thanks for making the experience saner, positive, and manageable.

“K”, surrogate twice – first time with another agency, second time with Forward Fertility.
“Dear, Christie — I hope you realize what an incredible blessing you are on so many lives. You may not always get all the thank yous you deserve because you get to work with everyone during the stressful — emotional — crazy time. You are amazing through all of that and what is created in the end with your guidance is a miracle. Always remember that. The difference between you and the other agency I worked with is that you actually stick around and are here for us through the trials and turmoils instead of MIA once we are pregnant! Thank you”
“M”, mother to two, gestational surrogate three times. “There is no greater gift.”
“I decided to be a Surrogate Mother in 2006, after friends had fertility problems and I could see the pain and longing they had been through trying to conceive a baby on their own. I already had a healthy 2 year old child, with a great pregnancy and delivery that was problem and pain free. I loved being pregnant! In 2007 I delivered a healthy baby boy for a wonderful couple as a Gestational Surrogate. We created a very close bond, and are in contact all the time, treating each other like family.My husband and I had another beautiful baby of our own in 2009.In September 2012 I delivered a set of full-term boy/girl twins for my cousin and his wife. I was their Gestational Surrogate as my cousin’s wife could not carry her own children. They came to me just asking questions about Surrogates, and of course I offered to be their carrier! I had such a great pregnancy with the twins, I started my journey to become a Surrogate Mother for the 3rd time before they were even delivered.
As a Gestational Surrogate you go into the process knowing that you are only there to help grow the baby, and then lovingly hand them over to their awaiting parents as you have no genetic ties to them. There is no greater gift than seeing the glow on their face while holding their baby for the first time.
With the twins, we worked closely with Christie at the fertility clinic. It was always great to come in for my appointments and see her smiling face. She is the type of person you can feel comfortable with and ask any questions you may have as she has great knowledge about surrogacy and fertility treatment. I know you will love working with her, too.”
“A”, mom of 4, gestational surrogate once. Thoughts about her decision. “My husband thought I was crazy!”
“My passion for wanting to pursue the surrogate process started about 4 1/2 years ago when I was talking with a customer at my job. He was talking to me about my pregnancy [I was pregnant at the time] and then he told me that he and his wife were expecting. He went on to tell me about how they ended up having to find a surrogate in a different state and explained the process to me. It was at that moment that I thought to myself, “what an honorable gift to be able to give to someone!”That night I went home and told my husband that I would love to [be a gestational surrogate] for someone. As usual – he thought I was crazy! But after processing it and talking further about it he agreed. I had no idea who or how to do something like this so I just sat on the idea. Skip forward two years and I have been a surrogate for a friend of a friend.I pray that this will work out for her [the mom-to-be] because she deserves to be a parent in whatever fashion it comes in. Every day I am thankful for the healthy children I was blessed with and would love to help someone obtain that same gift!!”
