Let's Talk About Your Family-Building Journey
Meet Wendy Arker
Founder of Creative Love
My journey in family building began more than 20 years ago at a fertility practice in Southern California, where I gained firsthand experience in reproductive medicine and the personal stories behind every journey. In 2010, I founded Creative Love Egg Donor & Surrogacy Agency in Florida. My connection to this work is deeply personal. As a Single Mother by Choice, my path to motherhood took three years and 16 fertility treatment cycles, including seven egg retrievals, six frozen embryo transfers, and two ZIFT procedures. On my 16th cycle, a ZIFT procedure finally brought me my son, Bryce, through egg and sperm donation. That experience gave me a lasting understanding of the hope, uncertainty, and determination that come with building a family.
Today, I remain personally involved in Creative Love, coordinating surrogacy journeys and building meaningful relationships with the gestational surrogates and intended parents we support. Having guided so many journeys over the years, I’ve come to appreciate the trust, commitment, and special connection that develop along the way. From a thoughtful surrogate match to a positive pregnancy test, a first heartbeat, and finally welcoming a baby, those moments still mean just as much to me as they did when I first began.
Experience that Guides Every Journey
Throughout my career in third-party reproduction, I’ve witnessed the remarkable evolution of IVF and the advances that have helped more individuals and couples build their families. While fertility treatment has changed significantly, I’ve learned that no two family-building journeys are ever the same. Experience has taught me what to look for, which questions to ask, and when to take a closer look. Whether I’m reviewing a potential gestational surrogate, helping intended parents consider a match, or discussing an important decision, I bring that perspective into every conversation. At Creative Love, thoughtful surrogate matching means understanding everyone’s expectations and ensuring no one feels pressured to move forward. I believe the strongest surrogacy journeys begin when intended parents and gestational surrogates feel comfortable, share similar expectations, and are genuinely excited about moving forward together.
Why Education Matters to Me
I believe everyone entering a surrogacy or egg donation journey deserves to understand the process and feel comfortable with the decision they are making. For intended parents, that means having a clear understanding of what to expect as they move through matching, their surrogate’s medical clearance, legal steps, and the many milestones ahead. For surrogates and egg donors, it means understanding the medical process, time commitment, and responsibilities that come with helping another person build a family. I want everyone who works with Creative Love to feel informed, respected, and comfortable asking questions. Some of the most important conversations happen before a journey ever begins, and I believe taking the time to have those conversations create a better experience for everyone involved.
Life Outside of Creative Love
Outside of work, hockey is my favorite escape. You’ll usually find me watching an NHL game or catching a great Division 1 college hockey matchup. More importantly, hockey has become something special that my son, Bryce, and I share. We’ve traveled across the country together watching games, visiting arenas and following some of our favorite players. One of my favorite memories was being there together when the Florida Panthers captured their first Stanley Cup in 2024. After years of watching hockey together, getting to experience that moment side by side was something neither of us will ever forget. Hockey has become our thing, and some of my favorite memories are simply sitting beside him at the rink, talking about the game and enjoying something we both love.
