I cannot say enough good about Newborn Advantage! Im an experienced surrogate but needed a new agency when my former agency shut down. I started with Mindy and have felt like she truly looked out for me every step of the way. Ive had direct phone calls with her all the way through the process, and she was always there to comfort me through any setbacks (not due to the agency). Every member of the agency Ive been in contact with had been very personable and supportive. I always know theyre looking out for their clients and trying to do whats best for all parties! Love, love, love them!!!!
I completed my first surrogacy journey March 29th, 2024. I gave my self some time to really reflect before writing my review, I can not thank Mindy & Courtney enough along with the NewBorn Advantage staff & Kindbody staff. As a first time surrogate I was nervous but determined to deliver a healthy baby. Over the 9 months I watched my body change but the support from NewBorn Advantage was always there for me every step of the way to answer any questions or explain something to me if I didn’t understand, checking in with me over the course of my pregnancy, and making sure I was mentally and physically okay even after delivery. I can confidently say they did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable, informed & educated through the entire process. They did a WONDERFUL job matching me with the IP’s I absolutely adored them and I’m so grateful our paths crossed and I had to opportunity to deliver their son. I’m in recovery still but I definitely can’t wait to see what my next journey brings!
We first met Mindy about 3 months ago after surviving two disappointments with a surrogacy agency over the course of 18 months. The agency, who shall remain nameless, provided only two surrogate profiles during this 18 month period, both of which were not qualified candidates.We have to admit that we were skeptical about using Mindy because she shared with us that her match time was about 2 weeks. Needless to say 2 days after engaging Lotus Blossom, We had a fabulous match with a wonderful surrogate who passed her medical clearance with flying colors.We now understand first hand why this fire ball of a woman does what she does.Mindy works quickly, efficiently and she is exceptionally responsive to phone calls and emails. She is professional, organized, compassionate and truthful. It is now three months from the time we selected a surrogate and we already have our embryo transfer date scheduled.We could not be more grateful to have Lotus Blossom Consulting on this incredible journey with us.Sarah and Steve
My wife and I have struggled with delivery and finally decided to look for surrogacy as a solution. We live in New York and decided and paid for a NJ based agency. This agency proved quite unhelpful and generally not very friendly. Last summer we tried to give it one last shot. Our doctor in NY, said that if we needed someone more hands on and with superb interpersonal skills that we choose Mindy Berkson. She had a number of a very viable GC candidates available immediately.Mindy has been a joy to work with and has proven time and time again that she is prepared to go above and beyond the basic service. Even after we were matched with a surrogate and paid her a fee, she has stayed engaged and been helpful with managing every aspect of what is a novel and daunting process for most. I can not recommend Mindy and her professional team highly enough!
I cant say enough good things about this agency. Mindy, Wendy, and Courtney were truly exceptional. I was a first time gestational carrier, and just completed my first journey with them. They helped make the experience so enjoyable. Everything was done in a timely manner. Doctor bills were always paid quickly, if I needed flights or hotels it was always done promptly, comp was always on time. They were always checking up on me, and asking how I was doing/feeling. I didnt feel like I was just another client to them, they made me feel appreciated. Im so glad I completed a journey with them and I highly recommend them. If I did this again, I absolutely wouldnt have went with anyone else!
I had the most amazing journey through this agency. Mindy and her team were very knowledgeable, caring and thoughtful and always made sure everything went smoothly in every step of our surrogacy process. Id definitely recommend them!
Mindy Berkson and her Newborn Advantage team were an absolute delight to work with. They made what could have been a long and difficult journey a pleasurable experience. They were understanding, patient, and kind throughout the entire process. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, but they were there for us every step of the way.
We would like to share with people are trying to be intended parents that the work that Newborn Advantage Surrogacy is really great.We are a couple of men from Spain who are really grateful of the work of Mindy Berkson and her team (Wendy and Courtney) have done with us.Our surrogacy process hasnt been easy (in fact we have found to be fathers of two babies, Lucia and Ray, after three years trying it and many troubles that we had before knowing Mindy) but with the support they gave us all this time everything was ahead in the right way.In our case the most important and difficult issue was to find a good surrogate mother and Mindy and her team are very profesional at this. In a short period of time they found for us a person very special who has given us two healthy and beautiful babies.In addition to how they have engaged our escrow account, we think an strong point of them is the recruiter of surrogates. All the time they are thinking which surrogate matchs better with you and they are working with empathy and sensitivity. During our process, we have had the sensation that people who work in Newborn Advantage Surrogacy are your friends and they want the best for you.For us has been also important that Mindy and her team never team have never left us helping us until last moment. Even in the last moment that we have needed to engage an express health insurance for our baby that after birth was in NICU, they have worked at 200% with the health insurance of the boy.In this review honestly we want to express how satisfied we are with Newborn Advantage Surrogacy. Without their help our dream of being fathers hadn’t been possible.Raimundo and Juan Jose
I highly recommend Newborn Advantage to anyone out there interested in becoming a gestational carrier. I just completed my second successful journey and I have delivered 2 beautiful and perfect surrogate baby boys: on 1/31/17 and on 4/9/20.From my first call years ago when I spoke to Wendy (the surrogate advocate) I felt completely comfortable. She did not make promises, she was very clear on the process and the requirements, and she walked thru everything with me step-by-step and answered all of my questions. And that has never stopped to this day. She is an AMAZING soul who has been a surrogate herself so she understands what it takes and how it feels, and she gives THE best advice. She is always there for me, even if its just to listen to me cry during a hormonal meltdown.Since I am a surrogate, the majority of my contact is usually with Wendy, but the contacts that I have had with Mindy and Courtney have always been wonderful as well. Mindy is always available to answer any questions or concerns I have when I call and if she does not hear from me for a while she always reaches out to checkin and offer support if needed. Courtney is also very accessible and is very efficient with booking travel, reimbursing expenses, and sending comp in a timely manner.Between these 3 ladies they know the process inside and out - from being matched, to medical clearance, to lawyers, to insurance options, to transfer, to delivery - all of it! They have amazing resources and a network of professionals that walk you thru every single step.All 3 of these ladies are wonderful and Im very blessed to have found them. I couldnt imagine completing these 2 journeys with anyone else by my side, and I would not trade my experience for anything!Jenn A.
Mindy and her team are amazing. They did everything for us and even reminded us not to forget one tiny detail. They provided us with very nice surrogates and now we are parents of a wonderful baby girl. Looking forward to even doing it again with them!Thank you, Newborn Advantage!
We were referred to Lotus Blossom Consulting by our doctor. I could NOT be more pleased and grateful for Mindy and her staff. We suffered from infertility for over 5 years before finally turning to surrogacy. I could NOT have gotten through this confusing and daunting process without Mindy. She was professional, knowledgeable and helpful from start to finish. We were so blessed to welcome our son into this world in May. I highly recommend Lotus Blossom for all your infertility consulting needs.
I would certainly give this agency more than five stars if possible. Mindy Berkson is a caring professional and she makes sure that both the intended parent(s) and the surrogate are comfortable and happy. Her network of industry providers (lawyers, doctors, insurance experts etc.) is also top notch. I highly recommend.
Mindy her team have been wonderful to work with!
