Arianna Shelter

Arianna has been with the company since 2016 and became ISC’s CEO in 2024. She is well versed in all aspects of surrogacy from her own surrogacy journey and having worked in every role within the company from Intake to Case Management to Agency Director. She has created and refined many of ISC’s processes and procedures across all departments with the goal of continually improving the experience ISC’s clients and colleagues have with the company.

Arianna’s personal surrogacy journey in 2013-2015 had many complications but ultimately resulted in the delivery of a healthy baby girl for a couple in Asia. This life-changing experience influenced her to work in surrogacy professionally and advocate for the surrogacy community. Arianna graduated with honors from Mount San Jacinto College with an associate’s degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences. Arianna is actively involved with the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (SEEDS), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), Resolve: The National Infertility Association, and other nonprofits and organizations within the ART community. Arianna has been a guest speaker on various surrogacy topics in the United States and at international conferences, on podcasts and social media, and has met with members of Congress to advocate for issues surrounding surrogacy, IVF, family building, and access to care.

Arianna was born and raised in Murrieta, CA, and after briefly living in Spokane, Washington, she found her way back home. Arianna has been married to her devoted husband for over 15 years and they now live in Murrieta with their daughter and son. Arianna and her family enjoy playing video games together, watching movies, playing sports with the neighborhood kids, hosting game nights, and volunteering at a local youth group. Arianna loves to sing and play piano and volunteers in the band at her church.

“Overcoming the challenges and complications in my surrogacy journey with joy and appreciation has led me to a wonderfully rewarding career in surrogacy. Aiding and encouraging intended parents and surrogates by providing excellent, ethical, personable support, and engaging in a community which continually aims to improve the quality of care and access to ethical surrogacy practices makes working in surrogacy incredibly fulfilling to me.”
