Building families is our greatest privilege. For more than 15 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 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.

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.
Rebekah is a two-time gestational carrier and a valued member of our case management team. Originally from central Arkansas, she met her husband at 17 and later moved to Georgia. Since then, she has lived and traveled across the United States, building a life full of adventure and experiences. Over more than ten years of marriage, Rebekah and her husband have welcomed 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 passion for helping families grow and her love of supporting both intended parents and gestational carriers are what drew her to our agency. Here, she continues doing what she loves most: walking alongside others on their surrogacy journey.
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.
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.

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.

Having personally experienced the anticipation of waiting to be matched, Jessie deeply understands how challenging those days can feel.

Christy provides health coaching to our gestational carriers throughout their surrogacy journey. From pre-transfer to postpartum recovery, she shares her knowledge of nutrition and mindfulness with our surrogates. Christy is a busy mom, health coach and founder of Dish You Well Health Coaching. Her passion for food started at a young age with cooking, creating recipes and of course eating. Christy never paid attention to, or even really valued the importance of proper nutrition until she was in her mid-20s. It was then that she experienced a weak immune system, anxiety, mood swings, digestive issues and PCOS. Her body was begging her to open her eyes and become aware of the changes that needed to be made. Fast forward 14 years later, zero signs of PCOS in sight, cycle is regular, anxiety still surfaces, but not nearly as much. Hers has been a journey filled with lots of small changes over the years. Eventually, Christy enrolled in the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute Master Health Coach Certification. It is her true passion to help others live a full, healthy, happy life.
