Suzanne Bangis is the Third-Party Manager at Southern California Reproductive Center, and honestly, she still finds the work fascinating after more than 15 years in it. She's the person who walks alongside intended parents, egg donors, and gestational carriers through a process that can feel overwhelming, handling the logistics, yes, but also just being present for people during something so personal. What keeps her going, she says, is that every single day looks different. No two people come to this journey the same way, different reasons, different families, different hopes. She likes to think of herself as one piece of that puzzle. Not the whole picture, just a piece, but one that matters, because when everything fits together, it becomes the family someone has been yearning to have all along.
