Bright Futures Families Is The Banding Together Of Women Passionate About Growing Families

Started by two sisters, Jennifer White and Ellen Trachman, BFF is the realization of a dream to make an amazing difference in the world. After focusing on the legal side of assisted reproductive technology law, Jenn and Ellen saw a need for intended parents and gestational surrogates to be able to find each other and receive support on a local, personalized level, without losing any of the expertise and professionalism of a national agency.

The team quickly grew to include past gestational carriers, passionate about helping others. We have the breadth and depth of experience in surrogacy — legal, medical, insurance, financial and otherwise — to seamlessly coordinate the complicated pieces of your journey. We do the hard work, so you can focus on preparing for your little one.

Our goal is to transform an emotional roller coaster into a joyful experience, knowing you are supported every step of the way. We want to ensure that every action we undertake on behalf of intended parents and gestational carriers is true to our values of transparency, ethics, integrity, education, passion and team empowerment.

We are honored to be a part of your journey.

Families are created with love

We believe families are created with love. Because great parents come in all shapes and sizes, we created an agency committed to inclusivity and acceptance.

On the personal front, we’ve dealt with our share of infertility issues. We bring compassion and a parent’s perspective to this very personal, nontraditional, loving way of growing a family. We get it. We’re here to make sure your concerns are dealt with and your financial—and emotional—investment is protected. Additionally, many of our team members have been gestational carriers themselves, so have direct knowledge and experience with how much work being a surrogate involves!

Choice of attorney is up to you

The intricacies of surrogacy requires legal representation for both intended parents and gestational carriers. One of our founders is an attorney with Trachman Law Center, LLC, specializing in surrogacy law. Ellen is a great resource for legal questions generally, and can help you find the right fit of a knowledgeable and experienced licensed attorney for your representation. Unlike many agencies that insist intended parents use in-house counsel or their appointed attorney, we provide the guidance you need to find the right professional, but leave the ultimate decision in your hands. We’re happy to recommend attorneys to meet your needs.
