Our Story
It’s a very personal story. One of facing the same challenges and disappointments as many hopeful parents. And one of good fortune and sharing the greatest gift of all.
Like our name suggests, New Hope Surrogacy is a new option for intended parents, surrogates and egg and embryo donors.
But that doesn’t mean we are new to surrogacy and alternative family building. Our founder has a personal story of their own journey to creating a family.
Our Founders’ Stories
After successfully having their own children, they were compelled to help others realize the dream of family, and feel the joy that comes with it. Here are their personal stories, in their own words.

My name is Jenna and here’s my surrogacy story!
I am the proud mama to three gorgeous bio children and two bonus children.
In 2013 I found myself feeling so complete with my family (plus some furbabies). But, honestly, I missed being pregnant. I started to explore the idea of helping someone else build their family, and have a chance to experience the joy a child brings.
In October 2013, I was connected with an incredible couple who needed my help. After one failed transfer, in April 2014, we transferred two perfect embryos, and one stuck! We were pregnant. On December 23rd I delivered a beautiful baby boy. There are no words for the feeling I had seeing that baby in his parent’s arms. I had never felt so proud of myself!
I knew if my body could, I had to help another couple.
Before long, I was expecting again! On August 20th, 2016, we welcomed a perfect little girl. I was in awe…of my body, this experience, this opportunity to help people, to give them something so precious. It was at this point I realized, as long as my body could…I would continue to help couples build their families.
In February 2017, I was preparing my body again to help a couple become a family. I was so hopeful, and couldn’t wait to be expecting again. After a failed transfer and a conversation with the doctor about the embryos, and chances of success, my Intended Parents and I decided we would transfer two embryos. One was PGS tested and the other was not. When it came time for our first ultrasound we were all shocked to learn we were not only expecting one…but THREE miracles!
Both embryos had stuck, and one had split. I was carrying triplets!!! Intended mom and I were overjoyed – dad was very quiet. After a moment he said, “but I don’t want a minivan!” Haha! On October 4th THREE happy healthy baby girls come into the world.
After carrying the triplets I thought it best to give my body a break. But in my heart, I knew I wasn’t done.
In September 2018, I transferred again. Unfortunately, it did not take. We tried again in October – devastatingly, it did not take again. In November we transferred the couple’s last embryo and she stuck! In August 2019, we welcomed another miracle into the world, another girl!
I still wasn’t done! In September 2020 I transferred one single embryo and it took on the first transfer. The parents and I were over the moon! In May 2021 another precious little girl entered the world.
In case you lost count, that’s SEVEN surro babes plus my three babies! This body and I have played a role in bringing TEN babies safely into this world and making 5 different families complete through surrogacy! And no- I am not quite done yet!
Our Values
The opportunity we saw in creating New Hope Surrogacy was to infuse our personal values in the process. We believe it is our values that set us apart from other surrogacy options. We went through their process ourselves and knew that there was a better way.
