Brownstone is the agency we hoped existed. We welcomed our son this past April, and the road there would have looked very different without Jarret, Yesenia, and the rest of the Brownstone team. We spoke with other agencies first and left uneasy. There was too much vagueness and not enough clarity. Talking to Jarret changed that immediately. As a former lawyer who has been through surrogacy himself, he brings both empathy and precision. He is warm but direct, and he laid out the legal, medical, and emotional realities in a way that made an overwhelming process feel manageable. He answered every question, returned every call, checked in during slower periods, and advocated for us when things became complex. At no point did we feel like just another case. Yesenia was equally impactful. Every interaction with her left us more grounded and confident. She has a rare ability to make both intended parents and surrogates feel seen as people, not participants in a transaction. As we approached the birth, that sense of steadiness became invaluable. Knowing she was supporting and prioritizing the surrogate’s well-being gave us real peace of mind during a critical time. What ultimately reinforced our trust was hearing, unprompted, from other professionals we worked with that Jarret was their favorite person to collaborate with. That level of respect across the ecosystem speaks volumes. The personal attention Brownstone provides is not a tagline. It is how they operate every day. If you are considering surrogacy, this is the agency to choose. From the earliest steps through matching and delivery, they are with you throughout the entire journey. Our son is here because of them, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you, Jarret, Yesenia, and the entire Brownstone team.

I can't recommend Brownstone highly enough. Jarret and Yesenia are both deeply committed to helping build families. They are incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive. At every decision or moment of difficulty throughout our journey they made themselves available quickly and helped us find the best path forward for our situation. Our surrogate match was perfect, and I know she also felt amazing support from Brownstone throughout the entire experience. We're so grateful to Brownstone for helping us build a family and have recommended them to many friends.

Jarret and Yesenia are friendly, communicative, knowledgeable, and efficient. They initially connected us with one potential GC who ended up not being a suitable match, but they caught the issue early, and once it came to light, they were great about breaking things off professionally. After that, they promptly helped us find the GC who ultimately carried and birthed our little one. It was a fantastic match from our perspective. It was also important to us as IPs to make sure any GC we worked with felt supported and safe, and we got the impression that Brownstone made that happen throughout preparation, pregnancy, and postpartum. Brownstone also provided great attorney referrals.

We recommend Brownstone Surrogacy without hesitation to any intended parent (or surrogate!) seeking an expert, ethical, compassionate, responsive, proactive, and attentive partner in their family forming journey. My partner and I are gay men who now have a 4 month old daughter through a beautiful surrogacy journey that Brownstone facilitated on our behalf. We met Jarret in 2021 while we conducted extensive research and met with 10 agencies. We had casted a wide net — the agencies we met with ranged from large, established organizations to smaller, newer ones. During this research period, we felt overwhelmed and inundated with information that seemingly led to more and more questions about the intricacies of the surrogacy process, legalities, costs, etc. We ultimately chose Brownstone because of Jarret's expertise, but also because of his clear communication, patience, and deeply personal experience of going through his own surrogacy journey with his partner. Reflecting on our now completed journey, we are filled with tremendous gratitude for the incredible service and partnership provided by Brownstone. Like many intended parents, our journey had joyful and difficult moments (the challenging ones were outside of Brownstone's control), but Brownstone was actively engaged and proactive each step of the way for everything we needed, whether that was answering our many questions, offering guidance during important choices, making connections to resources, or providing empathetic emotional support. They delivered on everything they said they would. What truly sets Brownstone apart was that we never felt like a number or case, and always felt there was honest, transparent communication that was fair, logical, and ethically grounded. This genuine, personalized approach made our journey with Brownstone not just successful, but profoundly meaningful and we are excited to have already signed on with Brownstone for a second journey.
