Surrogacy Warrior with Kimberly Surratt, Episode 23 - KinVara: Simplifying the Independent Surrogacy Journey
In this episode of Surrogacy Warrior, host Kim Surratt is joined by Andrea Bryman and Virginia Hart, co-founders of KinVara, to discuss a new approach to organizing and coordinating independent surrogacy and donor journeys.
Andrea and Virginia explain how KinVara helps intended parents move through important steps such as legal review, background checks, psychological screening, insurance review, medical records, escrow, and professional referrals in a more logical and streamlined order.

Kim, Andrea, and Virginia also discuss the value of transparency, early legal involvement, and having one centralized process for managing the many moving parts that come with building a family through assisted reproduction.
