A boutique surrogacy agency dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences for intended parents and gestational carriers. Personal, unhurried, and on call when you need us — every day of the year.
About
Rocky Mountain Surrogacy was founded in 2007 by Tess Hine after she completed her own first journey as a gestational surrogate. The experience was so meaningful — and the gaps in agency care so clear — that she set out to build something different. Nearly two decades and many families later, we are still proudly boutique, by design.
Tess has carried as a gestational surrogate twice. She understands the emotional weight, the medical milestones, the legal complexity, and the quiet 2 a.m. questions on both sides of the journey. That lived experience shapes every match we make and every conversation we have.
We take on a limited number of families each year so we can give each one direct access, hands-on care, and 24/7 support from the people who actually know your story. Boutique should mean better, not pricier — so our fees are intentionally reasonable.
The Journey
A clear, four-step roadmap so nothing about your journey ever feels like a mystery.
01
A no-pressure conversation to learn your story, answer your questions, and outline the road ahead.
02
Matching, medical and psychological screening, and independently represented legal contracts.
03
Embryo transfer, prenatal care, and steady boutique support through every milestone.
04
Delivery, hospital coordination, parentage orders, and a thoughtful transition for everyone.
We work with intended parents across the U.S., throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, and we proudly serve LGBTQ+ families. You will be guided by people who have walked it themselves.
Becoming a gestational carrier is one of the most generous things one person can do. We honor that gift with thoughtful matching, dedicated support, and compensation that respects what you are giving.
Boutique since 2007, with caseloads small enough to know you by name.
Both intended parents and carriers retain their own reproductive-law attorney.
When you call, you reach the people who already know your story.

FAQ
A gestational carrier (sometimes called a gestational surrogate) is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for the intended parents. The embryo is created through IVF using the intended parents’ or donor’s genetic material, so the carrier is not biologically related to the child.
We are intentionally boutique. Our founder, Tess Hine, is a two-time gestational surrogate, and we limit how many families we work with each year so every client gets direct access, hands-on guidance, and 24/7 support.
No. Gestational surrogates never pay agency, legal, medical, or screening costs. Intended parents cover all expenses related to the journey, and surrogates are generously compensated for their time and care.
Since 2007. Tess founded the agency after completing her own first surrogacy pregnancy, and we have been quietly matching families ever since.
A reputable agency coordinates matching, screening, legal contracts, escrow, insurance review, and the day-to-day relationship — so both sides can focus on what really matters: a healthy, supported pregnancy and a safe path to baby.
