Jessie Jaskulsky, Founder of Surrogacy Reimagined, Mom of Two Girls Born via Surrogacy, and a Magic Maker
After loss and a diagnosis that made pregnancy unsafe, Jessie Jaskulsky built her family through surrogacy and founded Surrogacy Reimagined to guide others.
“When we chose surrogacy, it became the safest way for us to bring our daughters into the world,” Jessie Jaskulsky shared, reflecting on a journey to motherhood that began with joy and then heartbreak.
In 2016, she became pregnant with her son Luke. The pregnancy was progressing normally until 21 weeks, when complications suddenly changed everything. On Christmas morning, Jessie delivered Luke at nearly 22 weeks.
In the months that followed, Jessie faced additional medical challenges, including a diagnosis of Asherman’s Syndrome, a condition that caused scarring in her uterus and made carrying a pregnancy safely extremely difficult.
After fertility treatments and careful conversations with doctors, Jessie and her husband made the difficult decision to pursue gestational surrogacy.
Their first journey came with its own uncertainty. Their gestational carrier later developed preeclampsia, and their daughter was delivered early at 33 weeks, spending time in the NICU before finally going home.
Years later, they returned to surrogacy again to grow their family. This time the journey brought their second daughter into the world.
For Jessie, surrogacy became more than a medical path to parenthood. It became a lesson in resilience, trust, and the power of collaboration between families and gestational carriers.
Today, when she reflects on the journey, the milestones stand out but so does everything it took to reach them. Holding her daughters for the first time was not just the beginning of motherhood. It was the end of a long road that had once felt impossible.
Now, as founder of Surrogacy Reimagined, Jessie uses her experience to support and guide others navigating their own paths to parenthood.
