J. Baby

J. Baby is a boutique, for-profit egg donor and surrogacy agency based in Los Angeles, California, founded in 2012. It works as a full-service agency, meaning it coordinates a surrogacy journey end to end rather than handling a single piece of the process. The agency describes itself as offering personalized matches, guidance, and support for parents, donors, and surrogates.

The agency was co-founded by Kenji Saito and Michael Lacoe, a married couple who are partners in the business and who are still identified as its owners and operators. Public materials describe a small, owner-operated team, with the two founders working alongside egg donation coordinators. The business operates under several name variants, including J. Baby, Jbaby, and Jbaby Surrogacy, with its current site at jbaby.com.

Alongside its surrogacy program, J. Baby runs an egg donor program, and it describes a particular specialization in Japanese and Asian egg donors. The agency works with intended parents who are LGBTQ+, single, and living outside the United States, as well as with gestational carriers and donors.

J. Baby is listed as a provider in the Men Having Babies Surrogacy Advisor directory, a resource for gay and single men pursuing parenthood through surrogacy.
