About Kindred Surrogacy

Kindred Surrogacy is a full-service surrogacy agency based in Clovis, California. It operates as a California limited liability company, founded in 2017, and is listed on its Better Business Bureau profile with Ursula Nino as owner and manager. The agency began in Fresno and moved to Clovis in January 2019. It is a small, for-profit organization, with roughly half a dozen people on staff.

The agency describes its approach as hands-on, "guided" surrogacy, supporting intended parents and gestational surrogates through each stage of the process. According to its own materials, staff are based in California and Oregon, and many of them are former surrogates themselves. Kindred Surrogacy works with LGBTQ+ intended parents and with intended parents living outside the United States, and it also offers an egg donor program alongside its surrogacy services.

The agency publishes its fee information, and its agency fee, surrogate compensation ranges and eligibility requirements for prospective surrogates — including a policy against smoking — appear in the sections below.

Kindred Surrogacy is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and the BBB assigns it an A+ rating. The agency's website features testimonials from intended parents and from surrogates it has worked with.

    I Don’t recommend it here, they tell you one thing and then another thing, just for them to tell you can’t become a surrogate. I’ve been fortunate enough to be on my second journey with LA Surrogacy 🙌, getting my embryo transfer next month. 😊

    I completed my first surrogacy journey through kindred and they were there for me 24/7 with compassion and helpful guidance. I especially enjoy their surrogacy group that meets once a month. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is interested in becoming a surrogate !
