Founder and CEO

Dawn Baker

Dawn Baker is the owner of US Surrogacy, and much of her enthusiasm for surrogacy comes from Dawn's experience as an infertility patient prior to having her second son and the belief that no matter what walk of life you come from, the inherent desire for a family is in many of us. She brings significant work experience from the legal field to US Surrogacy, having worked first as a legal assistant and then as a paralegal for over 20 years. She entered the legal profession after having served in the US Army for five years with an emphasis on communications. Dawn is committed to providing a transparent, caring environment for both Intended Parents and Gestational Carriers. Her background in the legal field and her experience with her own infertility makes her uniquely able to navigate the process of surrogacy.

Dawn attends conferences in the surrogacy field regularly and is a member of ASRM. She is also on the membership committee for SEEDS, of which she is also a member. Dawn has spoken about the surrogacy journey around the world, including China. She has also attended events in Europe to continue spreading the joy she finds in building families. She continually spends time learning about reproductive technology and the industry in order to best serve the clients of US Surrogacy.

An ardent supporter of the ability to have a family, she became interested in surrogacy through an acquaintance and soon became an advocate for others to help build their families. With the amazing science of reproductive technology, we are blessed to have the means in our society to realize that desire. She is passionate about the ability to work in an environment whose core existence is the growth of the family.

Dawn and her husband enjoy spending time with their family of three beautiful children, the oldest who works in technology and the younger two who are currently attending college. She has many nieces and nephews and loves living close to her extended family.
