My Surrogacy Journey announce partnership with Avenues
Date: 9th December 2024
A new partnership between My Surrogacy Journey and Avenues is improving the care offered to intended parents who want to grow their family.
Summary:
- UK law currently states that if someone has chosen a surrogacy pathway then a referral must be made to an organisation separate to the fertility clinic where they received care. This partnership makes sure intended parents are referred quickly to a specialist organisation they can trust. It allows for a smooth, continuous pathway and is a demonstration of how clinical providers and supportive services can work together to care for intended parents at every stage of their journey.
- My Surrogacy Journey (MSJ) was founded by Michael and Wes Johnson-Ellis after they became dads to their two children through UK independent surrogacy. They built the MSJ team to support everyone involved in the process of surrogacy and brought together a team of fertility and surrogacy experts to form a knowledgeable and compassionate advisory board.
- Avenues is a specialist organisation for gynaecology, urology, and reproductive health, and is the only clinic in the world to offer AI-driven technologies throughout a person’s reproductive journey.
My Surrogacy Journey are committed to supporting intended parents exploring surrogacy. It’s a commitment close to the hearts of our founders after their own struggle to become parents through surrogacy. This partnership, which enables us to provide continuity of care and support to intended parents and surrogates, is made possible thanks to Mr Ali Al Chami. Mr Al Chami, who recently joined the Avenues team, was Wes and Mike’s Consultant on their surrogacy journey with their youngest child.

From Michael Co-Founder and Co-CEO at My Surrogacy Journey:
“MSJ is committed to improving the standard of surrogacy globally. We’re so proud to partner with Avenues so we can expand our offering to intended parents earlier in their fertility journey, so they don’t feel like they have to navigate the world of surrogacy alone.
MSJ and Avenues’ shared commitment to safe and ethical practices in fertility care and surrogacy make us natural partners. We both prioritise the experience of the people at the centre of any fertility journey: whether that’s intended parents, the surrogates, or the pregnancy. We provide support throughout your journey, holding your hand the whole way.”
And from Cristina Hickman, Founder and CEO of Avenues:
“At Avenues, we believe every family-building journey deserves seamless support and compassionate care. Our partnership with My Surrogacy Journey reflects our commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with a deeply personal approach to reproductive care. By working together, we can ensure intended parents have access to trusted, continuous care from fertility treatment through surrogacy, making the process as smooth and empowering as possible.”
