Our mission

Cove is a place where families are nurtured into being.

Ours is an ecosystem where families grow and thrive: centering surrogates, supporting intended parents, and cultivating active, connected, 24/7 peer support communities for each. Our name reflects the flourishing that happens when currents converge, because we imagine a world where no one faces family-building alone - a world where every stage, from infertility through postpartum and beyond, is supported by community and connection. We’d love to meet you.

Our values

Guidance

We provide clear, trustworthy information so every decision is made with confidence and understanding. We champion surrogates and support intended parents by offering the tools, resources, and community that allow them to truly thrive.

Growth

We support every stage of the family-building journey — from exploration to postpartum and beyond — in an evolving ecosystem that grows along with the families we serve.

“In my work, I spend my days assessing people, noticing who shows up, who follows through, and who genuinely walks their talk. From the moment I met Jenn and Allie in the infertility community, it was clear they were the real deal. No performative leadership. No ego. Just two women who consistently created a space that felt reliable, thoughtful, and safe.

They became the calm in the storm, the ones who offered humor when everything felt overwhelming, and the kind of leaders who make you feel seen, supported, and human on your hardest days. There aren’t many people who show up with both competence and heart, but Jenn and Allie do, every single time. If you want to work with leaders who truly hold you through the good and the impossible, you won’t find better than them.”

“Jenn and I first connected in an infertility community, where she stood out for her warmth and genuine humanity. But Jenn is more than just steadfast, she’s a delight to be with. When I was journeying through the dark forest of infertility, I didn’t want just a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on - I wanted someone who would laugh at the small absurdities and gripe against the injustices with me: Jenn is that person.

Jenn is someone you want alongside you on this grueling journey. She’s organized, intuitive, deeply ethical, and somehow manages to make even the most complicated parts of the process feel understandable. But what I love most is her kindness - her ability to hold space, to listen without judgment, and to remind you that you’re not alone.

Cove feels like an extension of who she is: compassionate, intentional, rooted in community, and built with heart. Anyone supported by Jenn is genuinely in the best hands.”

“I met Allie in an infertility support group, and she quickly became the kind of person you wish you had in your corner from day one. She’s the perfect mix of compassion and straight-to-the-point clarity - think less ‘Michael Scott chaos’ and more ‘Pam Beesly comforting you with a color-coded plan.’

Through pregnancy, loss, waiting, and eventually parenting, Allie created a community where no one felt alone, and that same heart is woven into Cove. If you’re considering surrogacy, as a surrogate or as an intended parent, you genuinely couldn’t be in better hands. Her care is real, her integrity is steady, and her support is the kind you can feel even through a screen.”
