Who We Are

About Us

Building Blocks Agency was formed with the goal of providing high-quality, yet affordable services to match intended parents, from all walks of life, to compassionate surrogates and available embryos to help build their families.

Having a direct partnership with the Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine (ICRM), as well as being the spouses of the physicians at ICRM, we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs of intended parents, surrogates, and embryo donors.

The compassionate team at Building Blocks Agency combines medical, scientific, and legal expertise under one umbrella, allowing for convenient all-inclusive service that is difficult to find at any other agency.

Through our personal and professional experience, we at Building Blocks Agency understand that not everyone who wants a family can achieve this alone. Our mission is to make your dreams of building a family come true by being there for every step of your surrogacy or embryo donation journey!
