How long has Kindred Surrogacy been in business?
Kindred Surrogacy was established in 2017 by former intended mother, Joy Zhu, and her gestational surrogate, Chelsee Xiong. Although we are a newer agency, we are not new to surrogacy. Many of our employees have a personal connection to surrogacy, each having experience as an intended parent or gestational surrogate.
Why choose Kindred Surrogacy?
We truly believe that there is no other surrogacy program quite like ours. We strive to provide exceptional service and personalized support to intended parents and gestational surrogates. Intended parents entrust their surrogate with the task of carrying their child, and they may not always be able to meet her face to face. We can. We meet every surrogate applicant personally, carefully assessing her motivations, background, and personality before accepting her into our program. We continue to meet with your surrogate as she moves through the process, fostering a comfortable relationship with her and, in turn, protecting your relationship with her. Kindred focuses on hands-on, managed surrogacy. Our team attends OB and ultrasound appointments during the pregnancy. The purpose is two-fold: first, to support your surrogate, and second, to connect with her medical providers so we can advocate for her and for your baby. As an agency, we have built relationships with doctors and hospitals, allowing us to work directly with them to make sure that you, your surrogate, and most importantly your child receive the best care available.
Is Kindred available 24/7 or only during business hours?
Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm Pacific Time. We have an after-hours emergency representative available for all of our matched surrogates and intended parents.
