The CFC Approach to Surrogacy

Creative Family Connections (CFC) was founded in 2001 by attorney and Harvard Law graduate Diane Hinson. We’re a team led by amazing women and former surrogates, many of us have personally experienced the challenges and joys of building a family through assisted reproduction. We believe deeply in our founding principle that everyone can build a family, and we’ve proudly supported LGBTQ+ and single parents since day one.

At CFC, “everyone can build a family” isn’t a slogan. It’s how we’ve guided diverse families with care and respect for over two decades.

What sets us apart

  • Thorough pre-screening: We meticulously vet surrogates before presenting any match.
  • Flexible support: We also assist independent journeys when you’ve already connected with a surrogate.
  • Concierge-level care: From first conversation through six months postpartum, we’re with you every step.
  • Expert legal services: Creative, state-specific guidance and added protections for intended parents.

When they matched us to the surrogate we could not have come up with a more perfect match if we had tried to describe her on our own. We could not be happier.” — IPs, 2024

Start your Journey!

Surrogate Screening & Matching

We match you with surrogates who fit your preferences and meet strong legal protections in surrogacy-friendly states.
Every candidate goes through rigorous a pre-screening process. Fewer than 2% are approved. Our process includes:
  • OB/GYN clearance
  • Multiple reference interviews
  •  Sending records for clinic review of medical history
  • A thorough interview with the surrogate and her household
Once approved, we match you with a like‑minded surrogate based on both your preferences and hers, so the fit feels right from the start.
