Souad Dreyfus

Before Souad Dreyfus, founder of Open Arms started the agency, she gained extensive experience working with a fertility specialist, intended parents, surrogates and egg donors. From the sterile atmosphere of doctor’s offices, she added the dimension of caring, nurturing, and emotional support. She has celebrated many triumphs and joys of creating families, which became the driving focus of Open Arms Consultants.

Souad Dreyfus' warm individuality, professional integrity, and international flair ideally suit her role as founder and director of Open Arms Consultants, Inc. Her ability to blend compassion with professionalism in every unique situation stems from a strong family background and solid experience in the field.

Souad was raised in Morocco and arrived in the U.S. to attend university in 1998. With dual Moroccan/American citizenship, Souad speaks fluent English, French, and Arabic. After studying computer networking and business relations in college, Souad found her niche managing both the business aspects and the egg donation/surrogacy cycle for a local fertility specialist. During this time, she began to nurture the dream of expanding her role and helping bring families together through her own consulting business.

In June, 2003, Souad founded Open Arms Consultants, Inc. with the mission of offering intended parents, egg donors, and surrogates the complex services they need in an environment of nurturing and warmth. As director, Souad’s role continues to be that of coordinator, educator, screener, facilitator, liaison, and executive administrator of every detail in the surrogacy/donation cycle.
