Brittnee - Journey Coordinator
Brittnee resides in California with her fiancé and their three kids. She is currently on her second journey as a gestational carrier and feels very blessed to have been able to help both sets of her IP’s welcome new bundles of joy into their growing families. Her heart has always belonged to the surrogacy world as she watched her aunt carry twins as a traditional surrogate for her close friends. After having her own two children, Brittnee was quick to follow in her aunt’s footsteps as a surrogate and went on to work as a journey coordinator for egg donors before joining the STS team. Guiding surrogates and IPs through their individual journeys is Brittnee’s passion and a job that she loves doing every single day.

Reviews
(2024, USA Parents)
Stronger Together Surrogacy was fantastic at every step of the way — responsive, reliable, knowledgeable, cared about us and the surrogate as people, and matched us with a wonderful surrogate. I would recommend them very enthusiastically.

(2024, USA Parents)
Stronger Together surpassed our expectations of finding and matching us with a surrogate. We matched extremely quickly and could not have asked for a more perfect match. We chose them because of their treatment and care for their surrogates and we saw this throughout our journey. They were extremely responsive (usually within a few hours of reaching out) and any time we needed help with other logistical items like lawyers, escrow companies, etc, they quickly offered up recommendations. When we were not getting responses quickly from our clinic, they jumped in and helped navigate the relationship. We honestly would have been lost without them. Could not recommend more highly.
