Samantha Barnholtz

Samantha, or best known as Sam, is a Senior Case Manager with 7+ years of experience at ISC serving both intended parents and surrogates through each individual journey. Sam has been a gestational carrier twice for two different intended parents from Taiwan, delivering in 2017 and 2019. If she could do it again, she would in a heartbeat!

Samantha was born and raised in Southern California and lived in Murrieta for 30 years. She moved to Tennessee with her husband and their two teenage daughters in 2020 to help support surrogates in the Midwest and Southern regions of the United States and to experience a different part of the country. Sam is a devoted animal lover and has several pets including two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, two rats, a bearded dragon, and betta fish. Sam enjoys gardening, and when she’s not watching her kids compete in their favorite sports, she is outdoors enjoying the beauty of nature and feeding all the wild deer and birds on her property during her downtime.

“Being a parent to my own children and a surrogate for others have been the most gratifying accomplishments of my life, and I want to do everything I can to help others achieve the same rewarding feeling.”
