"Jessie's surrogacy community has been invaluable. Some of the other groups out there can feel intimidating or impersonal, but this one feels welcoming and supportive. It feels like you have a group of people going through what you're going through with you at all times."
"Jessie is a true gem, and the community she has created has been so valuable. It is a safe space to connect with other IPs in various stages throughout the journey. It is a great place for emotional support and to gather information and feedback about the surrogacy process. Jessie has been such an enormous support, and I am so thankful to have found this community! "
"I felt very alone trying to navigate my surrogacy journey. I didn’t want to be very public about what we were going through but I still really needed support. I was working previously with an infertility support group, but once I transitioned into surrogacy I wasn’t really getting what I needed from them anymore. Jessie has been SO helpful. From answering my questions one on one and providing support and checking in, to facilitating monthly meetings where I can connect with other people who understand what I’m going through - this community has been crucial for my mental health during this journey. Additionally, as someone who already had children before facing secondary infertility, I still feel welcomed and supported despite being in a different situation than most of the other community members. I am beyond grateful for this community and will continue to stay involved even when hopefully one day we are on the other side of a successful surrogacy journey. "
"Jessie and the community made me feel significantly less alone in this process - in a way that friends and family cannot understand, this group is immediately a safe place with a lot of combined knowledge and care."
"The surrogacy journey can be lonely and alienating. This community is a godsend - a source of valuable knowledge and reassuring emotional support."
"It was by happenstance that we discovered this amazing group, and now I just want to help share how amazing this community is and encourage other to join. Other communities we’ve come across haven’t been nearly as supportive and welcoming as this community has been. My husband and I are so thankful for this community, how we connect through posts, and online monthly; how we can ask sincere questions and receive help without the fear of judgement or negative criticism. Everyone here genuinely cares and sincerely empathizes with the different and yet the same kinds of journeys we’ve all been on as we navigate starting or growing our families. Jessie’s community is just what the soul needs, and I hope others who join continue to feel it’s warmth like we have. "
"I do truly appreciate you because you brought us to Guided and to our "hopeful" surrogate."
"You are a major part of it. I’ll take another video when they’re both here and send it off. You, while I haven’t been as involved as I should be, have been nothing short of a spectacular advisor and I would imagine, friend."
"Thank you for creating an amazing group. I came in feeling so hopeless & lost, and felt leaving normal & with some hope!"
“Happy two years Jessie! I think I can speak for both of us when saying we are very thankful you made this transition! We can’t imagine going through this process without your help and guidance.”
“Jessie!!! Awww! Happy two years!!!! You truly are the brightest light in our surrogacy journey and we are forever grateful for you and all of your support daily!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!”
“Its crazy I’m able to do this stuff (gender reveal) now... I’ve dreamed about it for so long....thank yo for being there and supporting me”
“Yes! Got off work late but I will respond tonight :) Thank you for staying on top of it, you are seriously my lifeline in all this.”
"Thank you again for everything. We seriously could not do this journey without you.”
