The Surrogacy Co. is a small, family-founded surrogacy agency based in Lexington, Kentucky. It launched in December 2024 and describes itself as a boutique, full-service agency that matches intended parents with gestational surrogates and stays involved through the journey that follows. It operates as a for-profit business run by a husband-and-wife management team, with a broader team referenced on its website.
The agency was founded by Jenna Clarke, who the agency says is a two-time gestational surrogate as well as a newborn care specialist and birth and postpartum doula. Her co-founder, Brad Clarke, holds an MPH and handles operations and health services administration. That direct experience of surrogacy is something the agency places at the center of how it presents itself.
According to its website, The Surrogacy Co. works across Central Kentucky, including Lexington, Georgetown, Richmond, Frankfort, Elizabethtown, Lancaster and Louisville, and also serves the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Because it is a full-service agency, it coordinates the pieces of a journey rather than handling only one step, from matching through case management and support for both sides of the match.
Surrogate applicants are expected to be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or otherwise have the legal right to work in the United States. The agency publishes its fees and its surrogate benefits packages on its own website; those figures, along with detailed eligibility requirements for gestational carriers, appear in the tables below.
As a very new agency with a two-person leadership team, The Surrogacy Co. positions itself around small caseloads and one-on-one attention rather than volume.
