We had our mentor session on the weekend, and it was brilliant. Three words to sum it up – Informative, honest and supportive. M and I took great value from it, and really see this component of the process as invaluable so thank you to you and the team at SASS for ensuring this is part of the process.

SASS seems like such a great initiative, to streamline the process of surrogacy, and there is some safety in the level of organisation and knowledge that it appears to have!
R – Surrogate – July 2019

We totally understand there are no guarantees, that being said we are happy to be in the pool and in with a chance whatever odds they are. It really is great to have SASS!

(Our Mentor) Marian is lovely and was really helpful. Being put in touch with her was great. Especially in regards to the relationship with the surrogate and how to work with them in any future relationship….she’s given us a lot of confidence going into the next stage in meeting potential surrogates.

Anna did an outstanding job and what made the session so memorable for me was her enthusiasm, excitement and her authenticity in delivering her content. That really stood out and I hope this sentiment was shared and experienced by the other attendees.

Your story (Anna) and your journey inspired us, and some of the stories give us hope that one day we might be able to be parents. I have read Sarah Jefford’s book which really gave Tim and I an insight into how important it is to have similar values and build strong relationships for now and in the future.

S, IP, September 2020

We couldn’t be more appreciative of your efforts with SASS! Setting up a pathway for IP’s to follow and attempting to create a surro-dating system are inspiring and no doubt benefit us and future surrogates immensely.
