Joy of Life Surrogacy

Joy of Life Surrogacy is a Southern California gestational surrogacy agency established in 2017 by Joy Millan, a former fertility clinician. The agency traces its origins to Millan's experience in 2016 advising an international couple through a surrogacy birth, which shaped its focus on supporting surrogates as closely as intended parents. Millan stepped back from daily operations in 2021 but continues to guide the company.

This listing covers the agency's Inland Empire office at 3200 East Guasti Road, Suite 100, in Ontario, California, where local staff offer in-person consultations for surrogates and families. Joy of Life also has offices in Pasadena, San Francisco and New York, and its staff includes former surrogates.

The agency handles surrogate recruitment and screening, matching, and coordination of medical and legal steps, with in-house clinical advisors, nutritionists and psychologists supporting surrogates. It runs dedicated programs for LGBTQ+ and international intended parents, with country pages for families from places such as China, Taiwan, Japan and Canada. Chinese clients are supported by Mandarin-speaking staff and a China-based office, including help with consular documentation and a postpartum retreat option.
