Your Surrogacy Journey, Your Impact. Centered on You.
Your compassion as a surrogate helps build families, and your journey deserves to be honored. Take our short quiz to see if becoming a surrogate with Reproductive Options is right for you.
A Surrogacy Experience Designed Around You
At Reproductive Options, your experience as a surrogate comes first — always
Unlike other surrogacy agencies that prioritize speed and volume, we believe surrogacy should never feel rushed or transactional. You are not “a case” or a number — you are a woman making a life-changing decision, and your experience as a surrogate deserves intention, care, and respect.
Reproductive Options was founded in 2020 by ASRM member Kayla Reveal, who brings more than 15 years of hands-on expertise across every facet of our surrogacy agency. As a former surrogate herself, Kayla built Reproductive Options as a true reflection of her values and lived experience: a surrogacy agency created by a surrogate, for surrogates.
That perspective shapes everything we do. We take the time to truly understand you — your goals, your boundaries, and what matters most — so every match is thoughtful, respectful, and rooted in mutual trust. With personalized guidance, unmatched advocacy, and a team that remains present and supportive, we create a surrogacy experience where you feel confident, valued, and genuinely cared for as you help bring new life into the world.
Real Stories. Real Support.

Choose your matching preferences, including: location of intended parent(s), type of relationship you’d like with them, communication style, and other personal preferences. This step ensures we create matches that are compatible and aligned with your values.
We conduct a background check on you and any household members over 18, along with a virtual interview and virtual home visit. This step prioritizes safety and helps us understand your home environment and support system.
With your consent, we and a trusted third party review your medical records to make a preliminary determination of your eligibility to become a surrogate. Final approval comes from the fertility clinic of the intended parent(s), ensuring medical safety for you and the baby.
All your information is compiled into a surrogate profile highlighting your experience, personality, and values for potential intended parent(s). Once you approve your profile and your medical records receive preliminary approval, we move to the next step: matching you with the intended parent(s)!
