This Is Your Superpower: Stacy’s Journey to Becoming a Surrogate

As Told by Stacy Brown, ConceiveAbilities Surrogate

Stacy Brown’s love of pregnancy stayed with her long after her daughter was born. A retail professional, fitness instructor, and self-described “Soccer Mom,” Stacy spends her days helping people look and feel their best. But her most powerful work happens far beyond the gym.

In 2020, a friend reminded her of something she’d said years earlier: “I love being pregnant so much, I’d do it again for someone else.” Those words unlocked a calling Stacy hadn’t fully explored. After a devastating miscarriage in 2015 and seeing loved ones struggle with infertility, she realized she could help another family grow.

Stacy never imagined she’d become a gestational surrogate — but today she can’t imagine her life without it.Today, Stacy is joyfully beginning her third surrogacy journey.

Growing Families, One Surrogacy Journey at a Time

Stacy has already delivered two beautiful babies for two families — a little boy in 2022 and a little girl in 2024. She recently received medical clearance to start her third surrogacy journey.

“The lasting impact you leave on a family is incredible,” Stacy says. “The ripple effect touches every life that child will encounter.”

Why She Chose Her Surrogacy Agency

A friend referred Stacy to ConceiveAbilities, and from there, she never looked back.

“My experience has been supreme,” she says. “Every single person I’ve connected with has had such an incredible impact on me and my family.”

Surrogacy as a Superpower

Stacy lights up when talking about pregnancy and birth. She’s used to people hesitantly asking questions about gestational surrogacy — and she welcomes every one.

“I love talking about surrogacy, pregnancy, birth, family building,” she says. “I think it’s a huge compliment when someone tells me I’m the first surrogate they’ve ever met. I just hope I’m not the last.”

After her last two deliveries, her husband said: “This is your superpower.” Stacy carries these words with her every day — and she believes it.

“I think having a family and giving birth is incredible — the way our bodies carry life is truly miraculous. I also recognize how deeply this desire touches those who aren’t able to experience it themselves, and I honor that journey.”

The Real, Raw, Beautiful Truth About Surrogacy

Stacy is the first to acknowledge that surrogacy isn’t always smooth sailing. Her advice to future surrogates?

“Not everything is going to be sunshine and rainbows through the process — and that’s okay. It’s okay to feel frustrated. It’s okay to feel loss. But it’s also amazing to feel joy and love for what you just went through.”

She knows many women worry about becoming too attached or whether they’ll have the support they need. Stacy says that from the beginning, she always understood her purpose: to carry someone else’s baby and help grow their family.

This wasn’t her child; they share no DNA. Her role was to nurture and protect a baby for the parents who were waiting with so much hope.

“With the surrogate support you get, and the connection to the intended parents, you truly understand the incredible purpose. What you’re doing matters.”

A Journey Without a Final Chapter — Yet

Stacy and her family intend to continue helping grow families as long as they are able. She says the experience has been unlike anything else in her life.

“My daughter is an incredible blessing, and I don’t know what my life would look like without her. The fact that we can be that pillar for another family is the most incredible feeling I carry with me every day.”
