Surrogacy For Intended Parents
The Surrogacy Co. is a boutique surrogacy agency that guides intended parents through gestational surrogacy, from your first call to bringing your baby home. Grow your family with confidence. The Surrogacy Co is led by its two founders, Jenna and Brad Clarke, both with Master of Public Health degrees.
Growing Your Family Through Surrogacy
You may be feeling discouraged, or worried that your path to parenthood has stalled. We hear that often, and we want you to know that waiting can turn into anticipation. Our job is to coordinate the details, support the surrogate carrying your baby, and keep you informed at every step.
Our founders, Jenna Clarke, MPH, and Brad Clarke, MPH, bring more than four decades of combined health sector experience. Jenna has also been a surrogate twice, so she understands this journey from the inside, including what it takes to care well for the woman who carries your child.
“We are beyond grateful for Jenna's unwavering support throughout our surrogacy journey. Jenna patiently addressed our concerns, always with warmth and positivity, making us feel safe and confident during an otherwise overwhelming time. Thanks to her, we welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world, and our hearts are fuller than we ever imagined.”

How Surrogacy Works With Us, In Four Phases
Get started. A discovery call, a customized cost estimate, and onboarding: your profile, proof of funds, a background check and a psychological evaluation.
Find your match. We introduce you to screened surrogates, arrange a meet and greet, and never rush the decision for either side.
Prepare. Medical and legal clearance, your surrogacy agreement, insurance, and an independent escrow account for your funds.
Pregnancy and birth. Embryo transfer, prenatal support for your surrogate, parentage orders, and the first days with your baby.

Surrogacy For Gay Couples
Surrogacy is a well-established path to parenthood for gay couples. We can introduce you to fertility clinics and egg donor agencies, and your reproductive attorney confirms how parentage is established where your surrogate lives and delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions By Intended Parents

Start by filling out our Intended Parents form. Next will be a discovery call. We talk through where you are, explain the process and the costs, and recommend the program that fits. Families outside the U.S. can book a free 60-minute international consultation.
-
Not necessarily. Some families come with frozen embryos at a U.S. clinic, and others are still choosing a clinic. We help you sort out the order of steps and can introduce you to U.S. IVF clinics and reproductive attorneys.
-
No. We are based in Lexington, Kentucky, and we work with intended parents nationwide and internationally. International families join our Premier Program.

Because we support a small number of journeys each year, you work with a team that knows your story, and Premier families also have founder-level case management. For many parents the difference is simple: you are never one file among hundreds.
