“My husband and I started our surrogacy journey shortly after our second daughter was born in 2020. We chose to create embryos with Dr. Shamma at IVF Michigan. He is such a gifted Reproductive Endocrinologist who treated us like family.We then began to work with the Gift Of Life Surrogacy Agency. They matched us very quickly with a wonderful, outstanding, and experienced surrogate that we still communicate with today. We have developed a friendship and bond with both her and her family. Zein and her team have been very supportive and trusting throughout the process.We appreciate Dr. Shamma and his whole team and The Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency for making this journey a smooth and memorable experience for our family.”

Zein matched us with the most incredible gestational carrier. She is kind, calm and happy. She treated her pregnancy with care and was thoughtful with every choice she made in her life regarding her pregnancy. Zein checked in with both of us during the pregnancy and even after the born was born. We both knew that we could contact Zein whenever we needed to and she’d quickly answer our phone calls or texts. Thank you Gift of Life for matching us up with an incredible gestational carrier and helping us have our baby. 

“We finally have the family that we’ve always dreamed of. After pursuing other avenues and going in endless circles with adoption we found Zein and Dr. Shamma. We immediately knew we were on the right path. Zein was able to quickly match us with a surrogate. Our journey from transfer to birth went perfectly. We felt supported by Gift of Life Surrogacy the entire time. Our new baby boy is the light of our life. Thank you Zein and Dr Shamma.”

This is my second journey with Gift of Life Surrogacy! Becoming a surrogate was a no brainer for me. I love being pregnant, love meeting, and helping others. Every journey has been so rewarding to me. I enjoy seeing a family being created. I couldn’t ask to be able to do anything else.

“My wife and I have had an excellent experience with Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency.  We do not think it is possible for someone to do a better job. Obviously, the ‘matchmaking’ process is key and was done very well.  Beyond those initial steps, more very hard work – facilitating relationships with doctors and hospitals; dealing with the inevitable headaches that come with virtual visits and multiple care providers; managing the relationships between all of the care teams, the intended parents and the surrogate. Our case manager was on top of all of this and could not have done it better.  It’s difficult to have little control and put so much trust into people you don’t know –  She took care of us, made us feel comfortable, and always addressed any concerns/issues that came up. We are very appreciative and highly recommend Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency!”

I had an amazing first journey as a surrogate with Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency. I was given a general timeline of each step in the process and it was very accurate! It was a very smooth process and our case manager was always there to guide me and help in any way I needed from tips on how to make the IVF injections less painful to overcoming other obstacles. I was really nervous being a first-time carrier and GOL made me feel supported every step of the way, even after delivery. The team at GOL was very involved and I never felt alone in this journey. This was such a special journey for me and I’m glad I chose Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency.

As a first-time surrogate, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started researching agencies. Working with Gift of Life Surrogacy was an amazing experience! I really appreciate that surrogates are screened before matching because it helps avoid heartbreak if things don’t work out. Zein is just wonderful; she was there for me every step of the way, in person and always just a call or text away. Overall, my journey with Gift of Life Surrogacy was really positive, and I feel so grateful to have been able to help a couple achieve their dream of having a child. Their daughter was born on August 2024, and it’s such a wonderful thing to have been a part of!

Zein made sure to match us with people she thought would be a good fit personally but also family dynamic and different beliefs. We matched with the first family we met and we couldn’t have gotten luckier with intended parents. A gestational carrier going through Gift of Life Surrogacy which is a thriving business and have many intended parents and surrogates in all different stages would never feel neglected. Zein would reach out like I was the only person she was working with. Knowing exactly where I was in my journey and what was going on. This was a journey I will never forget and I will always sing GIFT OF LIFE SURROGACY praises.

My experience with Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency has been easy going. Wonderful communication and I always felt like I was in good hands. From start to finish, and with ups and downs, that hand holding was very appreciated.

The entire Gift of Life Surrogacy team is wonderful. Dr.  Shamma is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable with this experience. I was in constant contact with our case manager throughout the entire process, my whole pregnancy, and still after. I delivered a healthy baby girl for two special people and it wouldn’t have been possible without the love and support (and a little science) of Gift of Life Surrogacy.
