About Our Agency

Miracles can be expected through surrogacy

Dear Parents, Surrogates and Egg Donors,

John and his surrogate, Susan

I would like to introduce you to myself and to my program. I attended Yale University, Oxford University in England and the University of Virginia, from which I have my bachelors, masters and J.D. (law) degrees. I practice law all over the world, and am admitted for all purposes in Massachusetts and California. I have not only been involved in surrogacy as a career, but as a parent. I have two happy, healthy, handsome and intelligent sons from the same surrogate mom. As you can see in the picture, urrogacy is one of the most joyous and fulfilling experiences I have ever been a part of. I take great pride in not only getting to know the parents, egg donors, surrogates and carriers I work with, but also in becoming a positive part of the surrogacy process. I understand the frustration of thinking I would never have a child of my own. I am passionate about the caring hearts of the surrogates and egg donors that are in my program. I believe miracles can be expected with surrogacy. Thank you for taking the time to read the information I have provided and please contact me.

—John Weltman,

NANCY WEATHERBY, SURROGACY PROGRAM COORDINATOR

I am a mother to a beautiful daughter born through gestational surrogacy. My surrogacy journey was amazing and I am so thankful that surrogacy was available to me as a means for creating my family. I love the opportunity I have here at the agency to help other infertile couples looking to be matched with either gestational or traditional surrogates. I could not ask for a more rewarding position!

RACHEL BERMAN, LCSW, PROGRAM COORDINATOR/SOCIAL WORKER

I have my Master's of Social Work from Boston University. The past seven years I have counseled children and families in a variety of settings. For three years before coming to Circle I worked in the area of adoption. Specifically, I was responsible for screening, matching, and counseling/supporting families hoping to adopt a child, through all stages of the adoption process. I am very excited to be part of John's program and to have the opportunity to continue to help create and support families through their surrogacy journeys.

JENNIFER SHORES, SURROGATE RECRUITER

I am the mother of four boys, Matthew, Jonathan, Nicholas and Benjamin. I have done one traditional surrogacy which resulted in a beautiful baby girl named Scarlett. My journey was an amazing one and an overall great experience. I am working on my second traditional surrogacy now.

Because of John Weltman's love and enthusiasm, I have given a part of my heart and soul to his practice. I handle the advertising and screening of all incoming egg donors and surrogates. I love this job! I have met many wonderful and kind people. I have helped create many beautiful families and have personally come to love and care for every surrogate mother who has blessed this practice. Because we are a hands on agency, all surrogates and egg donors can reach me at home 24 hours a day. I believe that we need to be there when anyone needs us. This is a wonderful program for which to work.

SCOTT BUCKLEY, LAW CLERK

I am about to enter my third year at Boston College law school, where I am near the top of my class. I have been helping John recently doing the initial drafts of contracts and forms for birth orders and step parent and second parent adoptions. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and plan to remain for a while to come.

BARBARA MCCOLLOUGH, LICSW, SOCIAL WORKER

I have my degree from Smith College and have been a social worker for over 30 years. I have known John for nearly 20 of those years and have been a part of helping many couples and surrogates in their journey through surrogacy. I have conducted support groups for surrogates all over the country by telephone, counseled surrogates and couples when problems arise between them and helped surrogates through this wonderful emotion -- filled journey. I enjoy being a part of this joyous process.
