THE (BE) SURROGACY ADVANTAGE
Connecting the (Be)st Moms with the (Be)st Agencies!
(Be) Surrogacy was created with one goal in mind, to provide vital support, guidance and advocacy while navigating this (be)autiful opportunity to help grow families around the world. With our over a decade of experience, we are honored to educate and empower you to not only change the life of someone else, but to richly enhance your life for the better, forever! Why work with (Be) Surrogacy? If you choose an agency without someone there to guide you, it is important to know that the agency has split loyalty, both you and the prospective intended parents, so they are not able to fully represent your interests. We advocate on your behalf to ensure that you receive the maximum (be)nefits available and are fully supported throughout the entire process. (Be) Surrogacy changes the dynamic.
Surrogacy is an altruistic endeavor, it is not just a medical transaction, it is fusing two families together in various degrees for the rest of your life. We are here to be your ally, your voice and your partner in this life changing process, and watch you add a little more magic back into the world. The (be)st part – it doesn’t cost you anything. We look forward to meeting you and helping you embark on the journey of a lifetime!
SHELLY MARSH
Founder + CEO
As a young mom with two incredibly easy pregnancies – Shelly knew she wanted to be a surrogate when she met a woman who had had a hysterectomy in her mid-twenties and desperately wanted a child of her own. Since then, she has helped create three families around the world by carrying five babies over four surrogacy pregnancies.
Her first surrogacy was such a positive and rewarding experience that Shelly changed her career path to work full time in the fertility industry. She is thrilled to be bringing not only her prior surrogacy experience but also her 10+ years working for fertility clinics, as well as a non-profit organization that helps people grow their families, to help guide you on this journey of a lifetime!
Shelly is always available to answer any questions you might have about surrogacy.
Let’s make magic, sister!!
Cally Blom
Lead Intake Coordinator
Cally is a wife and mom of three kiddos! Her journey as a surrogate began when she knew in my heart she could help a family have a baby because being pregnant just came so naturally and easy for her. From the first day of her first pregnancy she loved everything about it. Once she had her third baby she was so sad to think she would never be able to feel another baby moving inside my womb again. That is until she found out what being a surrogate was! She knew from that moment that if this was something a woman could do she was determined to do it! Having a medical background working in a hospital, Cally always approaches every situation with compassion and kindness. She found her first match through an agency and the rest is history! She is looking forward to getting to know you, your goals and what brought you to (Be) Surrogacy!

Ellen Ricks
Social Media + Content Creation Queen
Ellen’s surrogacy journey began while pregnant with her second child – mourning the thought that she loves being pregnant, but that her own family will be complete with the birth of their second child. Simultaneously, Ellen was dealing with her mother’s diagnosis of breast cancer, and lost her spiritual mother to metastatic breast cancer in 2022. Over this time, Ellen developed a heart for the breast cancer community. These passions ultimately collided when Ellen became a surrogate for a family touched by breast cancer, an intended mother unable to carry a pregnancy due to her own cancer battle.
Ellen loves educating and speaking on surrogacy and family building, connecting with others and dreaming of the future with other potential surrogates and intended parents. Ellen brings her 3+ years of experience in social media to this field, spreading surrogacy advocacy and education across platforms to reach thousands of people weekly.
Ellen is excited to get to know you, your goals and what brought you to (Be) Surrogacy! Never hesitate to reach out!
Aubree Asbill
Intake Coordinator
Aubree is a single mama to two amazing kids. As a single mom she knew that the likelihood of having more kids was off the table. Being a person who loves all things pregnancy, motherhood and childbearing – surrogacy just seemed like the right choice. Randomly she applied to be a surrogate in hopes of being able to give the gift of a child to a family that needed help. During this journey Aubree was matched with an incredible family and was able to complete a journey that brought identical twin girls into the world. This has been one of the most fulfilling and beautiful adventures for her and her little family.
Aubree has become even more passionate about the surrogacy world and is so excited to support and nurture others on their journeys. Aubree approaches life with positivity and openness. She’s a resource for support and outpouring of love.
