Ashley Bloom is an Intake Coordinator at Surrogate Steps and a two-time surrogate who completed both of her journeys with Surrogate Steps. Drawing from her firsthand experience, Ashley serves as one of the first points of contact for interested surrogates and helps them begin the surrogacy process with clear information and personal support.

Ashley takes pride in guiding and educating women through the early stages of the process and is a positive role model for those considering surrogacy.

Outside of work, Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, especially camping and being outdoors. She remains close with both families that she carried for and values the lasting relationships her surrogacy journeys created.

Q & A with Ashley

Q: Why Did You (Ashley) Become a Surrogate?

A: I became a surrogate because I wanted to help families, and I loved being pregnant. It gave me the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone else’s life while doing something that came naturally to me.

Q: In just a few sentences, describe what being a surrogate has meant in your life?

A: Being a surrogate was one of the best life choices I have made for myself and my family. We gained two extended families through our journeys, and we still enjoy spending time together today. It is an experience I will always cherish.

Q: What piece of advice would you give to someone who is becoming a surrogate?

A: Be patient because the process does not happen overnight. Be understanding of your intended parents, and always be responsive when the agency or anyone involved in your journey reaches out. Having a strong support system is also very important.

Q: What piece of advice would you give to someone who is growing their own family through surrogacy?

A: Provide your surrogate with a lot of love because it takes a lot from her and her family to help grow yours. Showing appreciation and support throughout the journey can make the experience even more meaningful for everyone involved.
