The agency was founded by Dawn Galbo, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Diego. Alongside the agency, she maintains a private practice conducting psychological evaluations for egg donors, gestational carriers and sperm donors "a background in the mental-health side of third-party reproduction that shapes how the agency presents its work.
