Marlon Morales

Marlon Morales

Co-Founder / Dad / Problem-Solver / Forward Thinker / Lover
I'm passionate about big ideas, inspiring leadership, and sparking motivation. My journey into family formation was serendipitously fueled by a fascination with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) nine years ago. My career began through OvaScience, pioneering in infertility therapies, and evolved through leading over 180 surrogacy journeys with prestigious organizations like Growing Generations and The Fertility Agency. Family is my cornerstone. Early in our relationship, my husband and I embraced the belief that children embody love, stability, and the power to transform the world. This belief led us to create The American Stork to inspire and connect potential surrogates with hopeful families, fostering strong community bonds. Our search for a surrogate expanded our mission. Now, as a fertility coach specializing in IVF, surrogacy, and ART, I leverage my data analytics expertise to offer agile, impactful solutions. My work is significant in advocating for Latinos and underrepresented communities, providing them with vital health advocacy tools. I'm dedicated to empowering these communities through data-driven insights, aiming to enact change, foster empathy, and dismantle stereotypes. Join me in this mission to uplift and connect—let's make a difference together. It's a challenging journey but incredibly rewarding. Let's connect and share our stories!

My life, and new business partner and I decided to start a family together through surrogacy. Lucky for us, his work in the world of fertility inspired us to start a family together. But there is a huge setback: there aren't enough surrogates and huge demand for them. I decided to use my professional skills to serve these families, help women make money, and solve my current problem. Viola! The American Stork was born from our vision to begin a family. Now, I aim to use this website to educate, empower and motivate women to become invested in this community.
