About The Surrogacy Agency

The Surrogacy Agency LLC, which operates as The Surrogacy Agency, is a for-profit surrogacy agency based in North Port, Florida. State and BBB records list the company as incorporated on July 27, 2023. It is an active business and has not changed ownership.

The agency is run by two principals, Kathleen (Katie) Faust, who serves as registered agent and managing member, and Patricia (Trish) Scarborough, a second managing partner. They are the only named staff across the agency's own website, its BBB management listing, and interview and podcast biographies, which points to a very small, hands-on team in which intended parents and surrogates are likely to work directly with the owners.

According to its own materials, the agency works in third-party reproduction and supports both sides of a surrogacy match: intended parents building a family through gestational surrogacy and the women who carry for them. The agency says it emphasizes personalized guidance through the journey and positions itself around low agency fees. Its fees are not published and are provided by quote.

The agency is not BBB accredited, though a BBB file was opened for it in May 2025. Eligibility requirements for surrogates, along with licensing and BBB details, appear in the sections below.

    My Experience with The Surrogacy Agency I recently completed a surrogacy journey with The Surrogacy Agency, and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish, they were thorough, professional, and incredibly supportive, making the entire process seamless. Excellent Communication & Support From day one, the communication from the team was outstanding. Whether it was answering my questions or providing updates, I always felt informed and connected. They truly go the extra mile to ensure their surrogates feel supported and valued. A memorable moment for me was when I experienced a scary subchorionic hematoma early in the pregnancy. Their team cheered me up while I was at the ER, offering reassurance and showing genuine care during such a difficult time. Dedicated and Caring Team What sets The Surrogacy Agency apart is how much they care for their surrogates. Trish worked closely with me in the beginning stages of the process, helping to locate the perfect intending parents. She really listened to what I was searching for and made sure to match me with parents who aligned with my preferences. Katie then followed me along my entire surrogacy journey, ensuring every detail was handled—from making sure bills were paid to checking in regularly to see how I was doing. It was clear that their focus wasn’t just on the logistics but also on my well-being both during and after the pregnancy. Seamless Process with a Personal Touch Every step of the way felt organized and smooth, mostly because of how dedicated the team is to their work. They covered all the bases, making sure I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Even postpartum, they continued to check in and offer support, which meant so much. Final Thoughts For anyone considering surrogacy, whether you're an intended parent or thinking of becoming a surrogate yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend The Surrogacy Agency. They truly care about everyone involved in the process and provide the kind of support and attention to detail that leaves you feeling confident and cared for. I am incredibly grateful for my experience and the wonderful people who made it possible!

    “ I’ve wanted to become a surrogate for years! I found the perfect agency with Modern Families LLC! Trish and Katie made everything easy. Both were very relatable and down to Earth. The entire experience never felt like “business”. They helped me every step of the way. From answering medical questions to postpartum care and always made sure to check on my wellbeing. I had the joy of bringing a healthy baby boy into this world for a loving and grateful family. 10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💕 “
