At The Surrogacy Experience, we strive to provide our Gestational Carriers and Intended Parents a level of service beyond comparison. That mission begins with a promise to be an objective resource of information. We want to be a surrogacy agency that helps Surrogates and Intended Parents choose the right path for them and their loved ones. For those who decide to embark on the surrogacy journey, we tailor our service offering to each client's individual requirements, working with them to create a surrogacy experience that meets their expectations in every way.
TSE Approach
Our approach is founded on the core belief that Intended Parents and Surrogates alike deserve the highest quality care and support. At TSE, we all have personal experience in one form or another with gestational surrogacy and family building. Our agency was founded on the personal experience of Founder, Blair Sullivan, who worked with a Gestational Carrier to complete her family. We believe this is not just a business but a very emotional and intimate process for all involved. Tina Dettlaff, our Managing Principal, has been a gestational carrier twice and uses that experience to enlist quality carriers for our program. We work as a team to support our Surrogate Mothers and Intended Parents from decision to post delivery. Education & Support We work closely with our clients through their decision-making process. We want to understand our client's needs and prepare them to make the best decision for them and their loved ones. We help them understand all the commitments and potential impacts of surrogacy. We help coordinate the administrative requirements for both parties, such as obtaining insurance information, obtaining medical records, signing necessary documents required by third-party partners, and much more.
