Myth: “Adoption means I’ll never see or hear from my child again.” What studies say? ⬇️

While closed adoptions were more common in the 20th century, today over 90% of adoptions include some form of open adoption. That means communication, updates, photos, letters, and in some cases, ongoing visits, based on what everyone agrees is healthy and appropriate.

Open adoption has become more common because research, experience, and lived stories have shown something powerful: transparency supports everyone.

• Children benefit from knowing their story.

• Expectant mothers often find comfort in seeing their child grow and thrive.

• Adoptive families gain the opportunity to honor their child’s full identity from the very beginning.

Open adoption does not mean co-parenting. It does not mean blurred boundaries. It means creating an adoption plan that reflects respect, clarity, and thoughtful connection at a pace that feels right.

If you are considering adoption in Florida and have questions about open adoption, we are here 24/7 to provide information ❤️

Congratulations to Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara on welcoming their third baby with the help of a gestational surrogate.

While this was not a Heart of Surrogacy case, moments like this help shine a light on the many different paths to building a family. Surrogacy is often a deeply intentional, collaborative, and emotional journey that involves intended parents, gestational carriers, medical teams, and legal professionals all working together toward the same goal: a healthy baby and a supported surrogate.

We love seeing surrogacy stories shared publicly, as they help normalize and humanize the process, reduce stigma, and create space for education and compassion. Every journey is unique, and every family deserves to be celebrated.

✨ Awareness matters. Representation matters. Families come in many beautiful forms. ✨

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara welcomed a third baby, a daughter, via surrogate, PEOPLE confirms. The pop star and the ‘Spy Kids’ actor are already parents to two sons, Riley, 4, and Barry, 2.

Helping Build a Family Through Surrogacy:
Ronita and Ryan are a Tampa-based couple who have been together for over a decade and married since 2014. They are deeply rooted in family, faith, and community and are excited to grow their family through a respectful partnership with a gestational carrier.

They come from large, close-knit families and proudly hold the roles of aunt and uncle to many nieces and nephews they adore. Being present for milestones—births, first steps, school events, and celebrations—has shaped the kind of parents they hope to be: loving, involved, and supportive.

Ronita works in health technology as a Senior Customer Success Manager, focusing on fertility, family building, and hormonal health. Ryan is a Civil Engineer who enjoys being hands-on, whether tackling home projects or helping others. Together, they love to travel, take on home renovation projects, and spend time on the water.

Their home is a cozy Florida ranch-style house filled with memories from their travels, complete with a pool, screened-in porch, and a welcoming atmosphere where family gathers often. They also share their home with two beloved cats.

Ronita and Ryan are seeking a gestational carrier and view surrogacy as a partnership built on trust, respect, and open communication. They are thoughtful, appreciative, and committed to ensuring their gestational carrier feels supported and valued throughout the journey and beyond.

Today is MLK Day, often called a “day on, not a day off.” It’s a day to serve, reflect, and show up for othes.

Surrogacy is a service in one of the most personal ways. It’s courage, commitment, and compassion, and it changes lives forever.
To every surrogate who has carried hope for a family: we see you. We honor you. And we are grateful for you today and always.

Happy New Year 32 Weeks & Counting!!!
We are officially 32 weeks along in this incredible surrogacy journey, and the excitement continues to grow, right along with this beautiful baby bump.

At 32 weeks, baby is about the size of a napa cabbage 🥬 (or roughly 4 pounds!) and is busy practicing breathing, stretching, and getting ready for the big day. Every week brings us closer to meeting this little miracle.

We are so grateful for Amber, whose strength, compassion, and commitment continue to inspire us. Watching this journey unfold is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when hearts, hope, and teamwork come together.

Congratulations to the intended parents, as this milestone brings you one step closer to holding your baby.

We are sharing the recent statement from the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA), a nationally respected authority on ethical and legally sound assisted reproduction.

While AAAA is not involved in the matter, their guidance underscores why transparency, independent escrow management, proper documentation, and strong legal oversight are essential in surrogacy.

We fully support these standards and believe they exist to protect intended parents, gestational carriers, and the integrity of our community.

— Heart of Surrogacy

STATEMENT FROM THE ACADEMY OF ADOPTION AND ASSISTED REPRODUCTION ATTORNEYS (AAAA)

For Immediate Release

The Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA) is deeply concerned about the sudden closure of a matching program with no funds remaining in their in-house escrow account that held multiple clients’ funds. AAAA is not involved in the matter and is learning new information daily. We recognize that situations involving financial irregularities and potential loss of significant funds can cause disruption and devastation for the affected parties, the professionals who support them, and the community at large.


Events such as this underscore the vital importance of strong legal frameworks, independent oversight, and proper documentation.

Guidance for Affected Individuals

While AAAA cannot provide legal advice or comment on the specifics of an ongoing situation about which it has incomplete information, individuals who have been harmed or who have concerns about their funds and their arrangement with the matching program and/or their gestational carrier should immediately consider the following steps to protect themselves:

Document Everything
Preserve all communications, contracts, emails, payment records, wire confirmations, account statements, and any other related materials. Do not delete anything, and download all materials.


Report Concerns to Federal and State Authorities
Depending on the nature of the issue, individuals may wish to file reports with the following agencies:
• Federal Trade Commission: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ (877) 382-4357
• FBI Tip Line: https://tips.fbi.gov/
• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (HIGH PRIORITY): https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
• State Attorney General’s Office.


Notify Your Bank
Contact the bank or financial institution used to transmit any funds. Many institutions have procedures for fraud reporting, account holds, or retrieval efforts.

Consult With Legal Counsel
Individuals may wish to consult with an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction. A number of AAAA fellows are willing and qualified to provide assistance to those affected.

AAAA’s Commitment

AAAA continues to monitor the situation as credible information emerges and will share information as appropriate.

Our mission remains centered on advancing ethical, transparent, and legally responsible practices in assisted reproductive technology. All ART professionals have an obligation to our community and clients to follow all relevant ethics guidelines, maintain robust financial controls, utilize independent escrow management, and adhere to the highest ethical standards.

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about IVF and family-building and it’s a good reminder of how important it is for Intended Parents to feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.

At Heart of Surrogacy, we believe knowledge is one of the greatest tools for Intended Parents. Whether you’re just starting out or already working with a clinic, here are a few key things to understand:

IVF and Embryos: Each embryo represents the incredible science — and heart — behind family creation. Intended Parents should feel comfortable asking their clinic about embryo storage, testing, and transfer options.

Surrogacy Partnership: The relationship between Intended Parents and a Gestational Carrier is built on trust, compassion, and shared purpose. Open communication and mutual respect are essential from the very beginning.

Education Before Action: Understanding the legal, emotional, and medical steps of surrogacy helps ensure a smoother, more positive experience for everyone involved.

Every path to parenthood is unique — and every question matters.
If you’re beginning to explore surrogacy or want to better understand how IVF fits into that journey, we’re here to guide you.

Important Update:

Federal policy is shifting away from expanding support for IVF and moving toward “restorative reproductive medicine.” Since IVF is the foundation of most surrogacy journeys, any limits on access to IVF could directly affect families pursuing surrogacy as well.

We encourage you to read the full article to understand how these changes could shape future options for family building:

Long confined to the medical fringe, “restorative reproductive medicine” has unified Christian conservatives and proponents of the Make America Healthy Again movement on the political right.
