Chris Parker is the Co-Founder and CEO of FindSurrogate.com. His background is in marketing, which shapes how the company does one of the hardest parts of this work well: reaching intended parents and speaking to them clearly at a moment when most information out there is confusing or hard to trust.
The reason he built it, though, is personal. Chris and his wife became parents to a daughter born through a surrogate in Canada, and he knows the particular kind of waiting that comes with it, hoping for a child while so much of the process sits in someone else's hands. That's what FindSurrogate.com is for: to give people on the same road clearer answers and the sense that someone who's actually done it is looking out for them.
