Integrative Surrogacy is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in Yucca Valley, in Southern California. It was founded in 2021 and remains an active company. According to its website, the agency works as a coordinator for people who need an alternative path to building a family and for the women who carry for them, acting as a resource and point of support for both sides throughout the process.
The agency is founder-led. Its owner is Lisa Whalen, who is described on the official site as a five-time surrogate, and the agency presents itself as having a small, team-oriented staff. Its stated specialty is serving individuals, couples and gestational carriers, and it works with single people pursuing parenthood as well as couples.
As a full-service program, Integrative Surrogacy positions itself as the coordinating party across a journey rather than a service used for one step of it, with the agency staying involved as a support and communication channel for intended parents and surrogates alike.
Surrogate applicants are expected to be U.S. citizens, and the agency does not work with candidates who smoke. Its detailed eligibility requirements, fee and compensation information, and any licensing and BBB details on file appear in the sections below.
