Founder, Producer and Mommy of three Sydney Holland talks about her independent surrogacy journeys with two different agencies. In her 30's, she discovered she had a rare blood clotting disease which didn't allow her to carry children. She didn't let that stop her. She discusses the importance of vetting the companies you choose, building your community, making genuine connections and the rest will all fall into place.

This is my experience as an Independent Parent who went through a surrogacy journey in pandemic. With the help of an incredible medical team, an angel surrogate mother and her family helped bring my daughter to life. It was years of holding back on the idea of it, but it took leaving all I knew & loved in order to push through to becoming a mom. As I try to grow my family and the platform of assisted reproductive technology evolves, there’s a lot to navigate. I wanted to provide a resource for anyone dealing with infertility.
