Sam joined Circle Surrogacy as President and CEO in 2017.
Circle Surrogacy was founded in 1995 by John Weltman, a renowned lawyer and gay dad through surrogacy. He founded Circle Surrogacy on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to be a parent. To this day, that belief is still at the core of everything Circle Surrogacy does!
Since their founding, Circle has helped bring more than 2,100 babies into this world.
Circle Surrogacy has grown families in the LGBTQ+ community for 25 years.
The staff at Circle is passionate about family building, and about 40% of their team members have personal experiences as surrogates, egg donors or parents through surrogacy, IVF or adoption.
Sam is a father of three thanks to assisted reproductive technologies. Surrogacy and family building is a subject that is very near and dear to his heart.
