Fertility Resources is sponsored by Growing Generations, the pioneering Los Angeles based agency which virtually invented current gestational surrogacy practices for traditional and non-traditional families. Growing Generations also owns and operates a straightforward fertility practice, Fertility Futures, which supports an egg donor and database as well as a program to match intended parents with surrogates, and a single purpose surrogacy agency, Surrogate Web, which screens and qualifies women who are willing to become surrogate moms, before they are matched with intended parents.
