How you build your family shouldn't be a public debate!

Adoption, IVF, surrogacy: These are deeply personal decisions... not public talking points🙅‍♀️

has over 83.8 million views on TikTok alone, with many people thinking it’s funny to tell their partner they’re pregnant when they’re really not.

Here’s why, for many people, this prank isn’t funny:

➡️ In the U.S., 1 out of 5 women are unable to get pregnant after trying for 1 year.
➡️ 1 in 4 of your friends has experienced a miscarriage.

Seeing these kinds of pranks can be triggering for people struggling with infertility. There are plenty of other topics to joke around with... please don’t make pregnancy one of them.

🌸 Happy World Doula Week! This week, we're celebrating an often-overlooked provider in surrogacy: doulas!

Having the right support by your side makes all the difference. Here's how doulas provide support in surrogacy:

For Surrogates 🤰
Doulas support surrogates through their uniquely shared birth experience. After delivery, a surrogate’s body needs the same postpartum care and recovery as any other, while the emotional transition may look different. A postpartum doula can help with physical recovery, emotional check-ins, and a steady, nonjudgmental presence from someone who understands the surrogacy journey.

For Intended Parents 🧑‍🧑‍🧒
Doulas can support parents as they settle into life with their baby, offering guidance, reassurance, and practical help at home. From newborn care and feeding, to sleep rhythms and adjusting to a new routine, doulas provide steady, nonjudgmental support during those first weeks.

As the saying goes... it takes a village💜

Talk to your Heartland Surrogacy case manager about connecting with a doula who understands surrogacy. We're here to support the whole journey, start to finish! 🔗 Learn more at heartlandsurrogacy.com

Two beautiful birthdays to celebrate! 🎂

One year ago, we welcomed two sweet baby boys into the world and into the arms of their parents!

👶 Baby Boy R was carried by Surrogate Jessica, whose compassion and strength helped make this dream a reality.

👶 Baby Boy B was carried by Surrogate Chelsey, who shared her love and dedication throughout the journey.

Every surrogacy story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when generosity, trust, and hope come together. We are so honored to witness these life-changing moments and celebrate the families that grow because of them.

Happy Birthday, little ones 🙃

💜 Surrogate needed for a wonderful intended family! 💜

We are currently searching for a gestational carrier to help a beautiful family grow.

Intended Parents H&F live in Illinois and are hoping to welcome a sibling for their son, who was also born through surrogacy. They already understand the incredible gift a surrogate provides and are deeply grateful to anyone who would consider helping them grow their family again.

They are working with Northwestern Fertility and planning a single embryo transfer.

Their ideal surrogate is
✅ fully vaccinated
✅ willing to avoid pork during pregnancy
✅ located in a surrogacy-friendly state

A message from the intended parents:

"We know how personal and meaningful this decision is, and we are truly grateful that you would consider playing such an important role in helping our family grow."

If you or someone you know may be interested in becoming a surrogate, please send us a message or head to our website to learn more.

Sharing this post could help this family find the incredible person who will help them complete their family. 🫶🏼
