In the Spotlight: Family Creations – Supporting Families Through Surrogacy and Egg Donation

Last reviewed: August 2026. This provider profile summarizes information shared about Family Creations and is intended as a starting point for due diligence. Services, fees, screening procedures, licensing, timelines and program policies can change; intended parents, surrogates and donors should confirm current details directly with the agency and their independent professionals.

About Family Creations

Family Creations is a U.S. third-party reproduction agency working with intended parents, gestational carriers and egg donors. The agency was founded by Julia McConnell and describes its approach as personalized, relationship-focused and centered on supporting participants throughout the journey.

Surrogacy coordination

The agency has described services that include candidate recruitment and prescreening, matching, coordination with fertility clinics and attorneys, and case support during pregnancy. Exact services and the point at which fees become due should be confirmed in the current written agency agreement.

Agency prescreening should not be confused with final medical clearance. The treating fertility clinic determines whether a gestational carrier is medically appropriate after reviewing the information and testing required by that clinic.

Egg donation services

Family Creations also coordinates egg donation. Donor profiles and screening may include personal, medical, family-history and other information. Intended parents should ask which screening has already been completed, which testing will be performed by their fertility clinic, whether a fresh or frozen arrangement is contemplated, and what happens if a donor does not receive final medical approval.

Questions to ask before choosing any agency

• What services are included in the agency fee and which costs are separate?
• When are fees earned, refundable or nonrefundable?
• How are gestational carriers and egg donors prescreened?
• Who makes final medical-clearance decisions?
• Does each party receive independent legal representation where appropriate?
• How are escrow, compensation and reimbursements administered?
• How is insurance reviewed for a surrogate pregnancy?
• What psychological support is available before, during and after a journey?
• What are the agency's current licensing or registration obligations in the states involved?
• How are disputes, rematches and unsuccessful cycles handled?

Licensing and legal due diligence

Third-party reproduction laws and agency requirements vary by state. Rather than relying on an older statement about where an agency is licensed, ask Family Creations to confirm its current status for the jurisdictions relevant to your journey. Intended parents and gestational carriers should obtain independent reproductive-law advice before signing legal agreements.

Bottom line

Family Creations is one of the agencies intended parents may consider for surrogacy or egg donation. Compare its current written program terms, screening process, support model and costs with other options, and independently verify medical, legal and insurance questions before committing.
