As the belly grows, so does the sonogram printout! It is amazing how so much development occurs in just 2 months. Baby is now over 16″ in length and weighs around 3.7pounds! Fingernails and toenails are fully formed and some babies at this stage have a full head of hair. We will found in in less than 8 weeks!!


Amanda is over the moon excited to be pregnant!! The best part…sharing it with her IP! Skyping in to appointments is a frequent for our IPs. Surrogates, like Amanda, are amazing at making them feel like they are right there.


We are seeing these Surrogate Moms more frequently as we inch closer and closer to their due dates! Both Jamie, and Meghan are progressing smoothly. Both due in August, they have been able to share their experiences with each other along the way. It is truly amazing the bonds we create through surrogacy. Be sure to follow us on Facebook (link) as their due dates approach!

We love any chance to see our group of Surrogate Moms and thankfully we get to see them at least once a month at our support group! Lots of hugs, laughs, and sometimes tears. Our support group is simply that…support, and it is proven between these girls. It is an intricate part in the surrogacy process but should be natural and never forced. We are fortunate to have an astounding Psychologist and a Director wise beyond her years to help guide these gatherings. However, it is the amazing Surrogate Moms that lead it. Until next month!

Surrogate Mom, Laura, went to San Francisco’s Pacific Fertility Clinic (link) for embryo transfer #2! The cooler weather and great views provided a serene environment for both Laura and the embryo. Keep your eye out on our Facebook and Instagram pages to learn the results. For now, join us in sending her positive vibes!!


Surrogate Mom, Angela, just found out she is pregnant!! Her couple is ecstatic. Just another reason to celebrate this year’s 4th of July holiday. Her international Intended Parents will have an American baby this time next year!

What a great movie!!! It was Incredible! Haha, but really Incredibles 2 was so good. A movie day was a great way to kick off summer break with some of our Surrogate Moms and their kiddos. If you haven’t yet…go see it!

Throwback Thursday! This day, 11 years ago, precious twins were born through Building Families Inc. We think that today, they are just as precious! Happy Birthday!!!


Celebrating almost 3 decades of working together! Carol Weather of Building Families, Dr. Radojevic of SouthCoast Psychological Associates, and Paula Mahan of Mahan Attorneys. These amazing ladies are truly the triangle that brings families to life through surrogacy!
