Our Story

Jessica and Amanda - Founders of Little Seed Match

Some stories begin with heartbreak. Ours began with hope.

After years of infertility and loss, Jessica was searching for a path to motherhood that felt grounded in trust and genuine connection. At the same time, Amanda felt called to help another family experience the joy of becoming parents.

When they met, what started as a friendship became an independent surrogacy journey that changed both of their lives forever.

Amanda carried Jessica's daughter, Olivia, and together they discovered something unexpected: the relationship itself became one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.

That journey inspired Little Seed Match, a private platform where intended parents and surrogates can connect through shared values, transparency, and authentic relationships.

Because the right match is about more than a process, it's about the people.

Meet The Founders

Jessica Butcher

Jessica Butcher

Co-Founder

Jessica became a mother through an independent surrogacy journey that transformed not only her family, but her perspective on what surrogacy could be.
Through her experience with co-founder Amanda Konko, Jessica discovered that the most meaningful part of the journey wasn't simply the outcome, it was the relationship they built along the way. Their trust, friendship, and continued connection became the foundation for everything Little Seed Match represents today.
As co-founder, Jessica is passionate about helping intended parents pursue family-building journeys rooted in transparency, alignment, and authentic human connection.
She believes the right match is about far more than logistics. It's about finding the people who will become part of your story long before, and long after, a child is born.
✨ "Infertility tests your hope, but it never has the power to take it. Miracles are often born from the soil of surrender." - Jessica Butcher

Amanda Konko

Amanda Konko

Co-Founder

Amanda understands surrogacy from the perspective that often receives the least attention: the surrogate herself.
After choosing to become a surrogate and completing an independent journey with co-founder Jessica Butcher, Amanda experienced firsthand what is possible when trust, shared values, and authentic connection guide the process from the very beginning.
The experience reinforced her belief that surrogacy should never feel transactional. It should feel collaborative, transparent, and deeply human.
As co-founder of Little Seed Match, Amanda is passionate about creating a space where surrogates feel seen, respected, and empowered to build relationships that extend far beyond the birth itself.
She believes the strongest matches aren't simply coordinated, they're genuinely aligned.
