LOS ANGELES, February 23, 2011 - Since 1996, Growing Generations has been a company passionately dedicated
to the vision of creating life and in the process, changing the world. The
company's mission is simple-to make it safer, easier, and more enjoyable for
individuals and couples, surrogates, egg and sperm donors, and other
professionals, to grow families through assisted reproduction. To build on
this mission, Growing Generations is pleased to announce that it has
appointed Andrew Ferren as its Director of Client Development, Europe.

Based in Madrid, Ferren will provide informational consults and serve as
liaison for Growing Generations clients throughout Europe and the
Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America.
"I first came to Growing Generations as a client and as an intended
parent through surrogacy, I understand the importance of receiving straight
answers, as well as compassionate, supportive direction throughout the
process," said Ferren. "After several unsuccessful attempts at surrogacy in
India, my husband and I decided that if we were going to commit the financial
resources necessary for surrogacy in the United States, we wanted to work
with the best agency available. My new position with the company underscores
my belief that we made the right decision in choosing Growing Generations. As
awareness of surrogacy in the United States continues to grow internationally
, so does the need to provide clear information to prospective parents, and I
look forward to helping other hopeful couples and individuals abroad
understand and navigate this complex but highly rewarding experience."
After studying art history at Pomona College, Ferren has worked for 20
years in media and public relations, first at leading U.S. cultural
institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and LACMA. Since 2002, he
has lived and worked as a journalist in Spain, writing on travel, culture,
and lifestyle for publications like The New York Times, Town & Country, ELLE
Decor, and the leading Spanish newspaper El Pais. As an American citizen
living abroad, Ferren has a unique understanding of both the U.S. health care
system and the issues that face international clients as they embark on the
process of creating their families.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Andrew's background and expertise
join our team," said Growing Generations CEO Stuart Miller. "In addition to
his very impressive resume, he brings a compassion and caring to his
position."
As the first agency committed to assisting members of the gay and lesbian
community, Growing Generations offers surrogacy, egg donation and sperm
donation programs for all family types, regardless of marital status or
sexual orientation. Additionally, through recent advances in technology,
Growing Generations is now able to provide services to HIV-positive men, who
can safely use their own sperm to expand their families.
