Carly Joseph is a surrogacy concierge helping Intended Parents match with the right surrogates quickly. Having navigated her own two surrogacy journeys, Carly knows firsthand how overwhelming the process can be. Her mission is to combine personal experience with established relationships to help make the path to parenthood smoother. Carly works with intended parents who are ready to explore surrogacy.

Listen as Carly shares with Ellen and Jenn:

Through eight rounds of IVF and four failed transfers being welcomed into a club she never wanted to be a member of – that of infertility.
Being really open about her story in an effort to normalize different family paths.
Learning how to support others with their infertility through her own journey.
Being diagnosed with endometriosis and undergoing surgery. Experiencing another failed transfer.
Moving across the country from New York to Los Angeles while also dealing with her mother’s cancer diagnosis.
Her doctor recommending surrogacy. Feeling all the conflicting emotions – happy that there’s a path forward, but hard to give up the dream of carrying her babies herself.
Working with a concierge provider and being matched with a surrogate quickly.
Getting confirmation of pregnancy and heartbeat, and all the joy, only to discover no heartbeat at 9 weeks.
Going through another transfer and then surrogate experiencing a second miscarriage.
Not feeling optimistic about a third transfer and matching with a second surrogate. Then hearing from the first surrogate that she was up for a third transfer attempt.
Transferring to their second surrogate when the first was five months along.
The amazing moment of being in the delivery room for their son.
Receiving a call from her second surrogate and the doctor that she is leaking amniotic fluid at 29 weeks and will not be leaving the hospital before delivery.
In the thick of it with babies but also feeling moved to start a surrogacy concierge business to help others.
The concierge advantage – having a personal advocate, more education at the beginning, and faster matching by working across hundreds of agencies.
