Meet Kelsie Vanveen, Case Manager at Heartland Surrogacy 💜

Before this role, Kelsie spent years in banking 🏦 with long weeks and most Saturdays away from her kids. She knew she wanted work that felt meaningful and made space for family. Heartland gave her both!

What really shapes the way Kelsie shows up for clients?

She's been in your shoes.

Kelsie completed her first surrogacy journey independently and quickly learned how much a trusted coordinator changes everything. Now she's the person she wished she'd had!

Her favorite part of the job is the match. Helping surrogates and intended parents find each other is the moment that never gets old. When clients talk about each other with love and respect...that's everything 🥹

Kelsie's goal for every new client is simple: that they feel supported and excited for what's next. That they know from the very first conversation that someone genuinely cares about their story.

Your journey is safe here 🫶🏼

Surrogacy is so much more than a medical journey.
It’s an emotional one too!

Every stage of the surrogacy journey carries real, complex, deeply human emotion. What begins with a simple “What if?” can grow into one of the most meaningful and emotional experiences a person or family will ever walk through.

✨ Hope
✨ Fear
✨ Gratitude
✨ Joy
✨ Vulnerability
✨ Pride
✨ Sadness

For both surrogates and intended parents, this journey can feel like you're standing in the middle of a thunderstorm trying to hold a candle flame steady.

It's emotional in ways that words sometimes can’t fully capture.

That’s why emotional and mental health support is so important at every stage.

At Heartland, support extends beyond logistics and medical appointments. Every journey includes advocacy and mental health care for both surrogates and intended parents 💜

Because it’s okay to feel all of it, and no one should have to carry it alone!

The healthcare system can be isolating, and women's concerns during pregnancy and postpartum are dismissed. Their pain is minimized, and their questions are often left unanswered.

Every woman deserves support, encouragement, and advocacy when it comes to her health and well-being.

That’s exactly why this collaboration exists.

Heartland Surrogacy walks alongside women through every stage of the surrogacy journey, because our care doesn't end at delivery.

🤰Surrogates experience typical postpartum symptoms, with hormonal shifts, physical recovery, and the emotional complexity of completing a journey that changed multiple lives. They deserve full-spectrum support, including care for their specific needs as a surrogate, and we are committed to making sure they receive it.

Prismatic Venus Fitness founder Brittany Biggett-Heeren has built something the world needs: a community where maternal wellness goes far beyond fitness.

Brittany bridges clinical health data, maternal policy, and the unfiltered reality of modern motherhood through her podcast, Matrescence in Wellness, sharing her journey as a Black woman navigating pregnancy in real time with a critical eye on Cultural Wellness and demanding a birth experience rooted in justice, joy, and respect.

Her mission is empowerment: helping women rebuild body trust, navigate medical spaces with confidence, and find a community that truly sees them.

Atlanta, here we come! We’re excited to attend the SEEDS Spring Conference and join important conversations about ethics in surrogacy, client care, and the future of family building.

"I felt like I needed to pay it forward." 🤍 That's Amber: 2x surrogate and our incredible Program Coordinator here at Heartland Surrogacy.

Her second journey carried a family through one of the hardest seasons of their lives, and watching them meet their baby for the first time was, in her words, one of the most emotional and rewarding moments of her life.

That's the kind of story that keeps us going around here! Are you thinking about surrogacy...as a carrier or as an intended parent? Learn more about our process at https://www.heartlandsurrogacy.com/ 💜
