This is why we do what we do.

I guess when you wait so long for something, you simply appreciate it all the more. As you know we have tried, without success, on so many occasions over the last 14 years but never gave up on our dream which came true this week. You are all dream makers, but I think everyone will acknowledge that our surrogate April has been extraordinary. We have been amazed by her calmness throughout and of course agreeing to help us in the first place is just an extraordinary gift. We have christened her the Superhost! Her husband Thomas has been a rock in supporting throughout and their lovely daughter has been amazing giving up on lots of her own mummy time whilst our surrogate has had appointments or hospital stays. We truly consider our surrogate's family as part of our own family forever. We have been supported brilliantly by Circle over the last few years and want to thank everyone for the professionalism, friendship, encouragement and belief you have given us. Brett has picked us up from some pretty dark places and been more than a tower of support. What once seemed an incomprehensible process has been patiently explained by Kate and Jen despite our endless questions. We can only imagine the paperwork, record keeping, logistics etc to get this all to work so thanks to all for making this painless for us.

Everything was so perfect! I’m so very blessed to have been matched with the most amazing IPs and seeing the love and adoration on their faces when they look at their beautiful daughter, makes this journey more than fulfilling! Thank you to everyone on the Circle team for all of your help and support in making this the best journey ever!

I couldn't have asked for a better journey being a first time surrogate. You guys also nailed the personality matching. We are so similar and we've gained life-long friends and we are already planning our trip to Norway to visit the Baby for her first birthday!

"Circle has been absolutely incredible throughout this entire experience. I have never felt so supported and uplifted. Never at any point in this journey did I feel alone or lost in the details. Minette, Dory, Rachel, and the lawyer(s) that worked with me and my intended parents - even the staff at PFCLA - were always available for questions or concerns and were personally attentive and genuine in their care from the very beginning! This journey was nothing short of an adventure and because of Circle's staff and organization I enjoyed every moment of it! My heart is so full :)"

"Working with Circle has made this experience all the more wonderful. Along the entire journey I really felt like I was given an opportunity to meet my intended parents, get to know them and help them expand their family. Having Circle there to work out all of the details along the way made the bonding experience the focus. This adventure has changed my life for the better, and now my husband and I and our son will have life-long extended family living in Chicago. The team at Circle is so wonderful and I am so thankful to all of you for your hard work and dedication to others. You all truly help to make a difference in so many lives. "

My husband and I feel so comfortable moving forward and are happy that we were matched with our intended parents! Thanks again to all the wonderful people at Circle who have answered our questions and spent time talking to us. You really helped my husband and I both feel very comfortable and we look forward to our journey together!
