Genesis Rising Surrogacy Center is a for-profit surrogacy agency operating in Nevada under the legal name Genesis Rising, LLC. It works as a full-service program, meaning it handles the journey from recruiting and screening gestational carriers through matching and case management, rather than covering only one piece of the process. The business is currently active, and there has been no recent change in ownership.
The agency says it was founded and is led by Catharine Murray, a licensed clinical social worker whose earlier background is in domestic adoption. That social-work orientation is reflected in how the program is described: alongside matching, the agency says it provides education, counseling, medical screening and ongoing case management for both sides of a match.
In addition to surrogacy matching, Genesis Rising offers an egg donor program, so intended parents who need donor eggs can arrange that alongside their surrogacy arrangement rather than through a separate organization. The agency serves intended parents seeking gestational carriers and works with surrogates who meet its screening criteria, including a non-smoking requirement and a body mass index limit, with a small number of states excluded for surrogate residence.
Genesis Rising publishes its fee information, and compensation ranges for surrogates are set out as part of its program materials. Those figures, along with the full eligibility requirements and any licensing and Better Business Bureau details on file, appear in the sections below.

I contacted this agency. On two different times they missed their appointments. Also, I got three different budgets for the very same things... when I noted this, they quickly terminated. Proceed with extreme caution.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)Avoid Genesis Rising Surrogacy Center This agency is completely untrustworthy. They take advantage of intended parents with false promises, hidden fees, and poor communication. Once they have your money, transparency disappears — they spend funds without approval and fail to provide clear updates. Be careful before signing anything. Their contract allows them to cancel while still keeping your money. They repeatedly present surrogates who are not medically cleared just to charge a $2,000 “non-medical screening” fee each time. Don’t fall into the same trap — find an agency that values honesty, transparency, and genuine care for intended parents.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)🚫 Avoid Genesis Rising Genesis Rising is an unprofessional and misleading company. They misrepresent costs, use confusing terminology, and show little transparency in how they operate. They often push unqualified gestational carriers just to collect fees, while ignoring client concerns. Communication is poor, and contracts are ended abruptly when questions are raised. Their escrow system lacks accountability, and billing practices are unclear. Always communicate in writing and have a lawyer review their contract before signing — they claim you can cancel anytime but still keep your money. This agency should be avoided by anyone seeking an honest, transparent surrogacy experience.

Linzi who was freaking amazing! Every question that I ever had no matter weekend, morning, night was always answered. My coordinator Valerie was awesome. Always a text away! Cat the owner always involved and knows what’s going on. No corner left unturned. I was matched with an amazing surrogate and I am very picky! Everything was smooth from day one. I only had one embryo so I was very nervous and anxious all the time! But now I have my miracle boy and I don’t regret a second when signing on with them! My surrogate who is auntie now was amazing since day one!!! Much love to everyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you for my little man!!
