“Everyone Deserves a Family”

July 28, 2023 by Frank Golden

Dear reader, if you do not already know me, I am Frank Golden. I am the agency director and founder of Golden Surrogacy, one of the nation’s leading surrogacy agencies. In this blog, I would like to share a deeply personal story that forever changed my life—a moment that not only shaped my own journey but also ignited a passion within me to help others experience the profound joy of building a family.

This story starts over a decade ago when my husband, Adam, and I experienced a life-altering moment: our daughter, Sophia, was born. She was delivered via C-section, and Adam and I were able to witness her birth from a distance, watching through a glass window in the hallway of the hospital. The sight of our Surrogate bringing our baby into the world was an indescribable experience.

Shortly after her delivery, Sophia was cleaning up and wheeled into the room where Adam and I were finally able to hold her. As I sat in a chair, cradling this precious bundle of joy, I looked up at Adam and thought, “Wow.” In that moment, it struck me that everyone deserves the chance to experience this incredible feeling of having a family. I was overwhelmed by the miracle we had just been blessed with. Holding Sophia in my arms for the first time was a moment I will hold onto forever.

The phrase “Everyone Deserves a Family” resonates deeply with me, and became a guiding principle in our lives. It became the driving force behind the creation of Golden Surrogacy. When we launched our surrogacy agency nearly a year later, we wanted to share a personal letter on our website, written from my perspective. We also wanted to create a slogan that truly embodied our vision of surrogacy.

That is when the phrase “Everyone Deserves a Family” resurfaced in my mind. It captured the essence of what we wanted to achieve with Golden Surrogacy—to provide a gateway to the LGBTQ+ community, couples facing infertility, single individuals, and others who could not conceive naturally or form a family on their own. This tagline represented our heartfelt belief that everyone, regardless of circumstances, deserves the opportunity to build a family.

Looking back on that moment, it is hard to believe it has been over a decade since Sophia’s birth. The slogan “Everyone Deserves a Family” still holds true for us today. We proudly display it in our office, reminding ourselves and our team members of the fundamental principle behind our work.

At Golden Surrogacy, we aim to be advocates for all those seeking to embark on a surrogacy journey. We believe that creating or having a family is not limited to those who can conceive naturally. It is a profound experience that should be accessible to everyone. Simply put, Everyone Deserves a Family.

As we move forward, our commitment to this principle still stands. We strive to provide ethical, quality support and guidance to Intended Parents and Surrogates. We want to ensure that everyone who chooses Golden Surrogacy feels seen, understood, and empowered to build the family they deserve.

I hope that this blog has shed light on the beauty of surrogacy and provided you with an idea of what partnering with Golden Surrogacy would be like. Together, let’s continue to celebrate the miracle of life and work towards a world where everyone can experience the joy of having a family. Remember, here at Golden Surrogacy, we stand by our slogan: Everyone Deserves a Family.
