I’m Shannon Wooten, the founder of Independent Surrogacy Support. As a 3x experienced gestational carrier, I bring firsthand knowledge of the surrogacy process and a deep understanding of both the emotional and logistical sides of this journey. I’ve had the honor of carrying three surrogate babies for two incredible families and fell in love with the surrogacy community from the very beginning.
 

Through my own experiences, I saw how valuable support and guidance can be—especially for those navigating an independent journey. I also realized how cost-prohibitive traditional agency fees can be for many intended parents. That’s why I created Independent Surrogacy Support: to combine my passion for helping others, my personal experience as a carrier, and my dedication to the surrogacy community in a way that’s affordable and accessible.

As of 2025, I’ve been a consultant for four years, and eight beautiful babies have been born to intended parents who trusted me to guide them through their journey. Whether you’re just getting started or already matched, I’m here to offer expert guidance and compassionate support every step of the way.
