Owner

Kayla Reveal, MSA, BS

There is no greater joy than helping a family to grow – I realized that 14 years ago, when I began my first egg donor cycle. Unfortunately, as can happen for so many women, I had a horrible experience – but I loved what I was doing for another family. That’s where my passion comes from.

I decided to pivot my entire life in that moment, moving away from accounting and into the world of fertility. I worked as an egg donor coordinator for years, and then co-owned an agency. In 2020 I left the ownership of that agency to pursue a more personal approach and better align with my vision for surrogacy with Reproductive Options.

Here, I know that each and every surrogate will be treated with the respect and care that they deserve.

Surrogacy Intake Coordinator & Educator

Ashley Skidmore, RN, BSN, CCDS

I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 11 years, and while I started in medical and trauma, I quickly took a focus in women’s health; working with midwives as well as in women’s internal medicine. From the beginning of my career in women’s health, I’ve been driven by a passion for helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of building a family.

In 2007, I started working at a hospital in New York while completing my nursing degree – it was here that I became familiar with egg donation and surrogacy. Having seen women and families go through the struggles and heartbreak of fertility, I felt strongly that a change needed to be made. That was the beginning of my journey. I’ve since moved to South Dakota, and my goal continues. My passion for reproductive health starts with education on ethical practices and standards and then advocating as a nurse.

After years of experience in the field, I felt I was ready to open my arms and embrace becoming a surrogate. It was important to me to have a personalized journey as well as having the connection with my Intended parents that created an extension of my own family. Years later that connection continues to grow as my family and their family has stayed in contact. My kids love talking to them on Facetime and it has been an opportunity for my family that has made us grow in every way.

Surrogate Case Manager

Kayla Bergstrand

“Wow, the work you do, helping people like us get to this point, is just amazing!! Many thanks to your mom for bringing a beautiful and warm-hearted girl to the world! The surrogate journey was so long and so frustrating, but your kindness gives me hope. I will keep all the things you have done for me in my mind. Thank you! Kayla, I am so lucky to meet you.” – ZT, Intended Parents.

A surrogate case manager for eight years, it is moments like these that make me realize I am in the right career. I knew very early on that I would not be satisfied with just a typical 8 to 5, I needed to feel like I was making a difference to find fulfilment in my livelihood. As fate has it, I was introduced to surrogacy through a close neighbor, the rest is history. Over the past eight years I have made it a goal to personalize every journey walking parents and surrogates through the process at every turn. I have found a calling that embodies my empathy and through this I have been so lucky to make lifelong unforgettable connections. I am grateful to be part of helping families grow through surrogacy and can’t wait to make that connection with all our future clients!

Surrogate Case Manager

Navigating the intricacies of surrogacy involves not only managing logistics but also understanding the array of emotions and cultural differences that come into play…Your ability to handle these complexities with grace, patience, and positivity made my journeys smoother, and I’m grateful for that.” – IB, Intended Parents.

Shae has been part of the ART world where she has worked as a case manager for the last 8 years. Having many friends and family who struggle with infertility, surrogacy quickly became something that is near and dear to her heart.

Passionate about building client relations, Shae prides herself in making a special connection with each and every client as you navigate the vulnerable and emotional journey of surrogacy together.
