About Stronger Together Surrogacy & Our Mission

Stronger Together Surrogacy started with one person’s vision and a few cheerleaders, of course! Read all about us and how we started:

Ashley completed her first twin’s surrogacy journey in 2010. It was from that moment she looked at how overjoyed her intended parents were and she knew she wanted to do more! She wanted to be there to support women wanting to be surrogates and support intended parents so they to one day could be as joyful as hers were.

Ashley started spreading the word about how amazing surrogacy really is. She would be there to support fellow surrogates and point prospective Intended parents in the direction they needed to be. Fast forward a few years, Ashley has now completed a total of five journeys (three of which were twins) and has made beautiful connections all over the world.

Once again, Ashley had the feeling of wanting to do more, she needed to do more, and individuals deserved more. This brings us to where we are today. At Stronger Together Surrogacy you are part of our team, part of our family. Whether you are an intended parent or a gestational carrier you have found your place here with us. Our team includes prior Intended parents and surrogates, who have all had their own journeys and experiences with surrogacy, and they too share Ashley’s personability and passion for wanting to do more.

Our promise to you is Stronger Together Surrogacy will be there for you, supporting you the entire way! We want to be there for you through the good times and not-so-good times. We are a team, we are family! We Are Stronger Together.
