Meet Our Team
Building families is our greatest privilege. For nearly 20 years, we have had the honor of serving couples and individuals from Hawai‘i and around the world. As Hawai‘i’s only locally founded, full-service agency dedicated exclusively to surrogacy, we are proud to walk alongside you on this meaningful journey.
While the depth of your connection with us is entirely your choice, many of our surrogates and intended parents become part of our extended ‘ohana. We celebrate milestones together—baby showers, births, first birthdays, and beyond. With passion for our work and genuine care for each person we serve, we are here to support you like family.
Andrea Hoshmand McAfee | Founder & Director
Andrea founded Hawaii Surrogacy in 2008 to meet the need for gestational carriers on Oahu and neighboring islands. Many local families were going to the mainland for services, leading to expensive and impersonal surrogacy journeys. Over two decades, Andrea has established strong working relationships with every fertility clinic in Hawaii, as well as nationally and internationally renowned legal professionals specializing in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Most importantly, she feels honored that so many Intended Parents have trusted her agency to help complete their families. You will often find Andrea chatting at all hours with parents from Ewa Beach, Kahului, Seattle or even Sydney, Australia. She loves providing as much information as possible to clients (with a side of humor) so that they can feel confident about their investment in the surrogacy process. Andrea is a graduate of Punahou School, Questrom School of Business at Boston University, and Maryland School of Public Policy. She is married to an Army veteran and has two children.
Kaci Moore | Recruitment & Intake Manager
Kaci has been a part of the wonderful world of surrogacy for the past 20 years. She is a 4x surrogate, and successfully carried 3 sets of twins and a singleton. She has also held numerous professional roles in surrogate intake, screening and journey case management. Kaci was born and raised in the beautiful state of Montana. She’s a true mountain girl and enjoys all of the outdoor activities from hiking, camping, and enjoying the abundance of wildlife. She’s been married to her husband for 30 years and has a beautiful family of 4 grown kids and 3 grandsons. Family means everything to her and she loves being a part of helping to create families through surrogacy.
Chantel McCready | Case Manager
Originally from the island of Kaua‘i, Chantel moved to O‘ahu to pursue her nursing degree and graduated from Hawai‘i Pacific University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2010. Since 2011, she has worked in the field of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility under the guidance of Dr. Celia E. Dominguez, serving as the sole Nurse Coordinator in her private clinic.
Chantel’s deep love and passion for helping families inspired her to give back not only professionally but also personally—becoming a surrogate in 2020 and again in 2025, when she delivered two healthy babies. In addition to her surrogacy journeys, she is a proud mother of four—one son and three daughters—who keep her happily busy. Outside of work, Chantel enjoys spending time with her family at baseball games, hula, beach outings, and movie nights. Helping to build families is what she does best, and she considers it a blessing to live her passion every single day.
Kendra Lovitt | Case Manager
Kendra divides her time between Northern California and the Big Island, where she enjoys life with her husband, son and daughter. As a former surrogate who carried and delivered healthy identical twin boys, Kendra brings firsthand experience and empathy to her work. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Women’s Studies and has completed extensive doula training, certified in both birth and postpartum support. Her professional case management background, combined with her personal journey, allows her to walk alongside surrogates with compassion and insight. When she’s not supporting families, Kendra loves spending time outdoors with her family and dogs—whether at the beach, surfing, camping, or cooking together. Surrogates in Oregon, California, and Washington are fortunate to be guided by Kendra throughout their surrogacy journey.
Jennifer Schmitt | Case Manager
Jen brings both personal insight and professional expertise to Hawai‘i Surrogacy. As a former surrogate and proud mom of four, she deeply understands the unique journey of helping families grow. Living on Maui, Jen offers a strong connection to our island community and the families we serve. She is passionate about providing support rooted in kindness, compassion, and clear communication. Drawing on her background in hospitality and team management, Jen feels honored to walk alongside surrogates and intended parents as they take meaningful steps toward building their families.
Rebekah Duncan | Case Manager
Rebekah is a two-time gestational carrier and a military spouse. Originally from central Arkansas, she has spent the past decade living and traveling across the United States, building a life full of adventure and experiences. She and her husband have three wonderful children. Outside of work, Rebekah’s happy place is anything Disney, Harry Potter, or Star Wars—you’ll often find her proudly wearing her Mickey ears. Her personal experience as a gestational carrier, combined with her heart for service, is what drew her to our agency. She loves supporting both intended parents and fellow carriers, and feels honored to walk alongside families as they move through their surrogacy journey.
Teisa Schexnayder | Case Manager
Teisa was born and raised in Texas and proudly carries strong family roots in New Orleans. She is a devoted mom to her 13-year-old daughter and a playful mini Aussie. Teisa has completed two surrogacy journeys, giving birth to healthy twins in 2011 and again in 2024. Before joining the surrogacy field, Teisa built a career in dentistry, serving in both clinical and instructional leadership roles. She is also a licensed massage therapist and is currently pursuing her graduate degree in Public Health. Outside of work, Teisa enjoys time with her family, road trips across Texas and neighboring states, practicing archery, and watching nature documentaries. Her compassion, experience, and commitment make her a trusted guide for families and surrogates alike.
Jessie Jaskulsky | Intended Parent Liaison
Jessie is a former Intended Parent who welcomed both of her daughters through surrogacy. As our Intended Parent Liaison, she plays a key role in the matching process by reviewing profiles, offering thoughtful feedback, and guiding IPs through one of the most meaningful steps of their journey. She also ensures that Intended Parents on the waitlist feel supported and connected—linking them with support groups, resources, and agency services tailored to their needs. Having personally experienced the anticipation of waiting to be matched, Jessie deeply understands how challenging those days can feel. She is honored to provide advocacy and emotional support from the perspective of someone who has walked that path herself.
