Starting a surrogacy journey can bring a lot of questions. We’re Joy Millan, founder and CEO of Joy of Life, and Tia Calderon, the agency’s Sales and Marketing Manager. We want to help you understand what to expect and feel supported, whether you’re an intended parent or a surrogate.
Joy spent years as a fertility clinician, working thousands of hours with intended parents and surrogates. As a mom of two, she founded Joy of Life to make the experience more compassionate and supportive for everyone involved. She stepped back from daily operations in 2021 to focus on her health and recovery, but continues to guide the company and stay connected with its network of doctors, clinicians, and caregivers.
Tia has been a surrogate herself, carrying twins in one journey and a singleton in another. As Joy of Life’s Sales and Marketing Manager, she helps intended parents and surrogates connect with the resources and care network that can support them. Her personal experience gives her another perspective on the questions and decisions that can come up during the process.
Together, we share practical guidance and insights from our different perspectives to help you feel informed and supported as you explore surrogacy.
