That is our hope! However, your health insurance plan will determine what OB and hospital we use. Keep in mind that your care will be managed by the Reproductive Endocrinologist’s team until at least 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Can I meet current GCs with the program before starting my journey?
Absolutely! BFI hosts regular events both in person and virtually. If you’ve submitted an inquiry, we will reach out with an invite. Our weekly zoom event is where potential GCs and current/past GCs meet to catch up and answer questions. Feel free to join us Tuesday nights at 7pm PST.
Why Should the Surrogate and Intended Parents have Separate Legal Representation?
This is as simple as ensuring that all parties feel heard and that individual needs are being met. Each party deserves to know that their legal representation has their best interests at heart.
Does BFI assign the legal representation for the IPs and GC?
No, BFI does not assign legal represention. We gladly provide you with a list of attorneys that we have had excellent experience with, but the final choice is yours.
What clinics/doctors do you work with?
We will glady work with your preferred fertility clinic. We have established relationships with many in the course of our more than three decades in business. If you’d like to know if we have worked with your clinic, please send us an email at [email protected].
Will I have an opportunity to meet other IPs in the program?
Absolutely! BFI often hosts events (even internationally) for Intended Parents to mingle with each other. We will also be more than happy to put you in touch with IPs local to you.

March 2023 Bio of the Month
Jeanette
Introducing GC Jeanette! Though you’re likely familiar with this beautiful face from our socials, we thought it was time for a real introduction. Jeanette is no stranger to the surrogacy world, as she has successfully helped another family in the past.
Married almost two decades, Jeanette and her husband Derek are a dream team. You can find them and their three boys, Jacob, Lucas, and Nathan have a blast going to baseball and hockey games or playing a fun round of mini golf.
As attested by her career and educational background (Bachelors in Child and Adolescent Studies), Jeanette has a real affinity for children. She is beyond thrilled to be able to help another family have a child to love. She says “My heart aches for those that cannot have a child of their own. If I can be a part of that I would be so honored.”
As cliche as it sounds, Jeanette lights up every room she enters. She believes in leaving things/people better than she found them. We can confirm that she absolutely accomplishes this!! Jeanette, we couldn’t be more thankful to know you!
