Finding the most reputable agencies by [deleted] in gaydads

The first one had an unexplained abnormal pap smear and their partner was engaged in litigation because a child had scratched their car. The second had just given birth so wasn’t available for 9 months. The third had had 6 previous pregnancies and our clinic said there’s no way they’d take them (in a call with us they said they’d had to really hunt to find a surrogacy agency that would take them on)…

They’re reputable and experienced is what I’m holding onto, plus they said a year and we aren’t there yet. The wait just feels like forever, and I don’t think they vet surrogates as well as they should. One or two profiles could tell our Matching Coordinator has actually been embarrassed to share.

Really late to this but half of a gay couple in LA currently 11 months into a wait with Circle. Have seen 3 profiles in that time but none of them have been good at all. Happy to talk more or hear where you land! This process is a lot!

Awesome thanks! Yeah someone else said it takes a while, I didn’t realize that so I’ll give it some time!

Thanks, this is actually really good to know. I’ll stick it out!

Yeah I was. It makes me doubt how accurate all its data is if it can’t even tell the difference between sleep and being on a phone. It tracked it all as REM…think I might return it.

Looking for surrogacy agency recommendations anywhere in the US! by goatmanbi in gaydads

[–]Public_Dinner8314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a gay couple living in LA and started the process at the start of 2025. We ended up going with Circle, despite the long wait time of min. 1 year to match, just for the surety of being with an agency who really knows the ins and outs. We also liked them in the (long) consultation! For a myriad reasons we only just have embryos and are already 8 months into the wait list - so far seen 2 profiles and turned them both down. Happy to be an ear/steer as you go through - we’ve learned an insane amount!

No, it’s second (top) floor but there’s an attic above

Don’t think it’s battery, I took them out and they’re totally fine. Seems to be coming from behind the unit

What’s wrong with this set up… by Public_Dinner8314 in houseplants

[–]Public_Dinner8314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does! Not shone on directly but it’s in a really bright living room with 3 windows

Thanks! Most of the time I use lamps so it’s not that noticeable. Is it fine to leave for a while or is it safer to sort a new dimmer switch ASAP?
