Building Blocks Agency LLC, which also presents itself as Building Blocks Agency Surrogacy & Embryo Donation, is a for-profit surrogacy and embryo donation agency based in Boise, Idaho. It was founded in 2022 by a married couple, Kimberly and Paul, and operates with a small team; the four people who appear publicly are Kim, Paul, Yuki and Shaylan, working in roles that include case coordination.
The agency describes itself as a full-service program that guides intended parents through the entire process, and it says it works in partnership with a fertility clinic, the Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine, and with a legal team. According to the agency, all surrogates are medically and psychologically pre-screened, background-checked and home-inspected before a match is made. Its stated aim is to provide professional, compassionate and cost-effective surrogacy and embryo donation services.
Alongside the agency, the co-founders also operate Boise Fertility Law, a separate legal entity formed in 2022 that provides third-party reproduction legal services and works in partnership with the agency. This means legal work, clinic care and agency coordination are available through connected organizations rather than assembled separately.
Building Blocks Agency works with intended parents who are single as well as those coming from outside the United States, and it also serves families pursuing embryo donation rather than surrogacy alone. Its surrogate eligibility criteria, published fees and gestational carrier compensation ranges are listed further down this page.
The agency is relatively young, and its public review history is correspondingly short. Among the reviews left by intended parents, several describe responsiveness and availability for questions throughout the journey, naming individual team members.

View on Google (opens in a new tab)We had a very positive and heartwarming experience with BBA! As a same-sex international ip's couple who just completed a successful surrogacy journey in the US, we are geateful to the team at BBA for their outstanding support and guidance. We recently welcomed our beautiful baby daughter in Boise, Idaho, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our coordinator, Yuki, was exceptionally professional, deeply caring, and managed to seamlessly balance both our needs and our surrogate's needs throughout the process. Her warm personality gave us immense peace of mind. To top it all off, she even hosted us in her home after the delivery, a heartwarming and joyful gesture we will never forget. Our surrogate was dedicated, responsible, and caring, and that's what made the pregnancy smooth and stress-free. We received full support and assistance every single step of the way, both during the pregnancy and after the birth. We whole-heartedly recommend BBA Agency to any couple looking to start or expand their family!
