Family Source Consultants celebrates Michigan Legislature passing landmark Fertility Health Care Act (House Bill 5207) to legalize #surrogacy arrangements.

“The passage of the Fertility Health Care Act is long overdue, and Michigan will finally provide support and protection to individuals and families on their journey to parenthood,” said Staci Swiderski, CEO/Founder of FSC.

Family Source Consultants was recently featured on an episode of “Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid” providing educational guidance on the surrogacy process for potential intended parents. FSC was selected for being among the “innovators changing our world for the better.” A long-form video of the episode is available on YouTube while a shorter 30-second commercial is airing across multiple networks — including CNN, Fox News, CNBC, Fox Business, MSNBC, and HLN.

Family Source Consultants Announces New Exclusive Partnership with Israel-Based Manor Baby.

Partnering with the world’s largest resource for gay men is a match made in heaven for Family Source Consultants – and a sure win for queer dads. As one of America’s leading third-party reproduction agencies, Family Source Consultants has been helping gay men realize their dreams of fatherhood for over 16 years. Last month, the agency became an official sponsor and vetted a family-building partner for Gays With Kids.

Are you feeling lost? Whether you are interested in creating your family via surrogacy or giving the gift of parenthood as a surrogate, starting a surrogacy journey can feel like starting a trip to a faraway place with no map or a compass and only a few clues on where to start searching. Surrogacy is truthfully an amazing journey of highs and lows for both prospective surrogates and intended parents.

Family Source Consultants will celebrate Christmas this year alongside a very special milestone: 1,200 babies born via gestational surrogacy and egg donation. Since opening its doors in 2007, the Chicago-based gestational surrogacy agency has helped thousands of hopeful parents to start or build their families.  Its success rate for surrogacy now stands at an impressive 95%, meaning nearly all Family Source’s Intended Parents (IPs) bring home a baby through surrogacy.

How did you get your start, and how did this lead to opening Family Source Consultants?
After personally experiencing family building via gestational surrogacy in 2005, this was my calling, to help others build their families who otherwise could not the “natural” way.
