I had a wonderful experience with CFC. I matched with an amazing couple and developed a close friendship with them. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Having cfc with me throughout my entire journey was a huge help. Knowing I could reach out at anytime with any worries or questions that I had. Leia was a great sounding board and came up with great solutions. Looking forward to working with them again for journey #2Posted on Google![]()

CFC and my journey with them are the reasons a family of brand new parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins exist. So much love, and CFC made it happen. It’s one of the greatest honours of my life to have been this family’s surrogate and it wouldn’t have been possible without Leia, Courtney, Tara, Carley, Estelle, Melissa, Nadine and the whole team I had the joy of working with along the way.Posted on Google![]()

Jocelyn Kingswell3 February 2020
I am a surrogate currently working with CFC and have been for about four months now. Upon admittance to CFC I was screened for both mental and physical health and once I was matched with my intended parents I was also given an in depth screening at their clinic of choice. I have been treated in a wonderful way and offered so much support through CFCs staff and my individual support person assigned by them. I would definitely suggest using them. The only downside is the wait is long for intended parents as there are realistically about 1 surrogate for every ten sets of intended parents. Be patient your time is coming 🖤Posted on Google![]()

Leia and the whole team have been so amazing! I am a surrogate and proud to have been one under leia and her team's guidance. The sisterhood has seen me through heartbreak and the death of my mom and also the birth of an amazing little girl for an amazing gay couple that are international if It wasnt for CFCs professionalism and empathetic compassionate nature I dont feel I would of felt supported in my journey. I wouldnt have developed such a strong bond with my surro family. I am so thankful for CFC and would never change my choice in agency to do my journey with. Truly blessed! Plus their surrogacy retreats are amazing and so much love and dedication goes into these retreats for the surrogates! You are truly not just another number with CFC.

I have been a surrogate twice with CFC and am thinking about a third journey. The strength I have learned and family I have gained through this company has changed my life. They support surrogates from sign up to long after delivery. They support surrogates from all over the country with all different home lives. I would absolutely send future surrogates and intended parents to CFC. I have come to know Leia Swanberg over the last 5+ years and there is no one in this industry who cares more.Posted on Google![]()

Always encouraged as a surrogate. The amount of Intended parent out there waiting is absolutely overwhelming. Wish I could help more than one person at a time. With the help of CFC support staff, I've been able to help one this year. Referred lawyers have made sure that my wage loss is calculated properly and the team makes sure I am not doing anything illegal. As we all know, we are NOT paid. Reimbursements are pregnancy related and I WAS NEVER EVER encouraged to use any receipts that were not my own. So glad to be a part of this team. So sad for the people who have had unpleasant experiences. I've found that if I address my concerns with CFC and my clinic, I get resolutions. If you don't communicate, then you'll always be bitter and angry. Ex partners and their current spouses tend to get upset and misunderstand the term "reimbursement" but rest assured, CFC has been able to make it clear to me ❤️Posted on Google![]()

CFC has given the me opportunity to be a surrogate and has supported me every step of the way. I am so grateful for them and what they do **I love this agency and they are now supporting me through a second surrogacy journey with new and incredible intended parents. I highly recommend them as an intended parent looking for a surrogate as we are screened and prepped for what surrogacy is before ever being matched and even more so as a surrogate. You've got people behind you and who will be there whenever you need help. Not just for the surrogacy journey. They become familyPosted on Google![]()

I have worked with CFC as a surrogate for 2 journeys. The staff have always been super helpful , while it may take some staff members a day or two to get back emails that's going to happen with any thriving business. I have never felt like I am not being heard or left out in anyway.Posted on Google![]()
