Hatch
Lauri’s daughter was born via surrogacy in May 2005, and eighteen months later the same surrogate gave birth to her son. Having experienced the depression and heartache of infertility herself, Lauri understands the deep emotional toll the journey can take. Before turning to family building, she had a successful career in television as a producer, director, and writer.
Recognising the need for an agency that truly supported both Intended Parents and Gestational Surrogates, Lauri co-founded The Fertility Agency with Kathryn Kaycoff. For Lauri, nothing compares to the reward of helping bring a much-wanted child into the world. She continues this mission today with Hatch, where she supports families with empathy and insight drawn from her own experience.
