What we learned from The Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy - SEEDS Conference ⤵️

Each year, SEEDS brings together professionals across the surrogacy community to share, learn, and grow, and this year’s insights truly hit home for our team 💜

🌱 Kelsie was reminded how vital advocacy and education are for every gestational carrier. Her own surrogacy experience fuels her passion to ensure every surrogate under our care feels informed, respected, and protected.

🌿 Amber left inspired by discussions on improving ethics and emotional support from earlier screenings to encouraging doula care for all. Because when everyone feels supported, the entire journey becomes stronger.

🌸 Monica reflected on the importance of empathy for both surrogates and intended parents. She was moved by stories that reminded us that connection and compassion must always come first.

Thank you, SEEDS, for putting on such an enriching conference. And what a fantastic opportunity for our remote team to all meet IRL for the first time 🥳

After 60 hours of trying to stop her labor, delivery was imminent.

Jeremiah was born weighing 3 lbs 7 oz, and Avani weighed 3 lbs 12 oz.

Both spent 52 days in the NICU learning to eat, breathe, and regulate their body temperature. They were surrounded by dedicated nurses, doctors, and therapists who gave them the very best care.

“The hardest part,” Kimberly shared, “was watching them struggle in those early days and feeling incapable of taking care of them on our own and even missing small moments like our baby shower. But the silver lining was learning how to feed, burp, and bathe our babies from incredible neonatal nurses.”

Today, Jeremiah and Avani are vibrant children and beautiful reminders of how resilience, love, and care can change everything 💜

Here are some takeaways from Kimberly’s story:

➡️ Learn the signs of preterm labor: contractions before 37 weeks, unusual pelvic pressure, or leaking fluid.

➡️ Always trust your instincts. If something feels off, talk to your doctor right away.

➡️ Support parents going through the NICU journey. A kind word or small gesture means the world.

“Do you ever get tired of questions about being a surrogate?”

Kelsie, our Intake Coordinator & 2x surrogate, opens up about how she handles conversations around surrogacy, from misconceptions to moments of connection!

There’s still so much the world doesn’t know about surrogacy, and that’s why conversations like these matter

💭 “Mommy, how was I born?”

For parents who built their families through surrogacy, this question carries a story filled with hope, courage, and love.

The Enchanted Nest, written by Drs. Lori Woodring & Julie Nathan, both parents through surrogacy, help you share that story in a way your child will understand and cherish.

Through the journey of Finn, Poppy, and Snowy Owl, families can open conversations about the beauty of surrogacy and the love that brought them together 💜

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re honoring those in our community whose journeys remind us of strength, healing, and love in all forms.

Like Pamela, a survivor who found new purpose by helping another family grow through surrogacy 🎗️

And intended parents who, despite their battles, continue to believe in hope, family, and the future that’s waiting for them.

Their paths may look different, but their courage connects them 💕

*This story is inspired by real experiences within the Heartland Surrogacy community. We share with deep respect for every survivor, parent, and support system affected by breast cancer.*

🎀 This month, and always, we honor you.
