Surrogacy by Faith is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in Irvine, California. It describes itself as a Christian agency, saying it is "dedicated to helping grow families by the grace of God, one surrogacy at a time," and offers faith-based guidance alongside matching and support for both surrogates and intended parents.
The agency was founded in 2014 and is led by founder and principal Amy Larrabee. It operates with a small team; according to the agency, its coordinators are themselves former surrogates, with eight babies between them. Staff work with intended parents and gestational carriers from first contact through matching, the medical process, and delivery, and the agency's own materials emphasize continued support for surrogates after birth.
As a full-service agency, Surrogacy by Faith coordinates the practical pieces of a journey, including screening and matching surrogates with intended parents and case management through the course of a pregnancy. Surrogates it works with must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, must be non-smokers, and must have had at least one prior pregnancy and be parenting a child in their own home. The detailed eligibility requirements, published fees, and compensation ranges appear further down this page.
One policy the agency states publicly sets out its position on fetal reduction and termination: it says it does not support either except when the surrogate's life is at risk, and that its contracts leave the final choice to the surrogate. Intended parents and surrogates weighing a faith-centered program may find this part of the agency's stated approach relevant to their own conversations with its staff.
