Today we’d like to introduce you to Katie Faust.
Hi Katie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
As the owners of The Surrogacy Agency, my business partner, Trish Scarborough and I, began this journey after working together at several surrogacy agencies over the years. Through that experience, we saw firsthand what worked, what didn’t, and where there was a real need for a more compassionate, transparent, and personalized approach to the surrogacy process.
Over time, we found ourselves repeatedly drawn to the moments that made this work so meaningful—watching families finally come together after years of waiting, and seeing the incredible generosity of women willing to carry for someone else. Those experiences stuck with us and fueled our desire to create an agency that honored every part of that journey.
With that shared vision and years of industry experience behind us, we launched The Surrogacy Agency. From day one, our goal has been to provide a hands-on, supportive experience for both intended parents and surrogates—one that’s built on trust, empathy, and open communication.
We started small, grew through word of mouth, and continue to stay closely involved in every match. It’s incredibly rewarding work, and each time we see a family created through surrogacy, we’re reminded exactly why we started this agency in the first place.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We learn something new from every case we have. No two journeys are ever the same, and while that keeps the work meaningful, it also brings constant challenges. One of the biggest hurdles early on was navigating the patchwork of surrogacy laws across different states. Ensuring every journey was legally sound meant forming strong partnerships with trusted attorneys and staying on top of changing regulations.
Another challenge was earning trust. Even with years of combined experience, launching a new agency meant we had to prove ourselves. Surrogacy is so personal—people want to know they’re in good hands. We had to show, through every interaction, that we were here for the right reasons and committed to doing things ethically, professionally, and with heart.
We also had to build a reliable network of clinics, insurance experts, and mental health professionals—all while managing the emotional weight that can come with this work. Starting out, we were wearing every hat, and while that was tough, it gave us a deep understanding of every part of the process.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At The Surrogacy Agency, we specialize in creating meaningful, ethical, and supportive surrogacy journeys for both intended parents and surrogates. Our mission is simple: to make the path to parenthood as smooth, transparent, and emotionally supported as possible. We guide intended parents from their first inquiry all the way through the birth of their child—and beyond—while also providing exceptional care and advocacy for our surrogates every step of the way.
What sets us apart is our hands-on, personal approach. We are deeply involved in every match. We don’t just assign a case manager and step away—we walk alongside our clients through every milestone, decision, and emotional moment. Our background working at several agencies gave us the insight and experience to know what works—and more importantly, what families and surrogates need.
We’re known for our high-touch communication, strong ethical standards, and a matching process that’s focused on compatibility, shared expectations, and mutual respect. We work with top fertility clinics, experienced legal and mental health professionals, and have built a network of partners who uphold the same standards of care we do.
Brand-wise, what we’re most proud of is our reputation for trust. Much of our growth has come through word-of-mouth—referrals from families and surrogates who felt truly cared for and supported. That means everything to us.
We want readers to know that The Surrogacy Agency isn’t a high-volume, one-size-fits-all operation. We limit the number of cases we take on so that we can give each journey the time, care, and attention it deserves. Whether you’re an intended parent hoping to grow your family, or a woman considering becoming a surrogate, you’ll be met with respect, transparency, and unwavering support.
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that surrogacy is a deeply personal experience—and we treat it that way.
