Meet Nancy

Seventeen years at the bedside, then two agencies

"I spent seventeen years as a nurse watching families do everything right and still go home without a baby. I built this agency so that when a family trusts us with the most important thing in their lives, a nurse is beside them from match to birth."Nancy Block, RN, founder

Private Label Surrogacy was founded in 2017 by Nancy Block, RN, a Northwestern fertility nurse who built and sold one of the Midwest's first egg donation and surrogacy agencies, served as President of the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy, and helped write the standards the field now follows. Dr. Mark Silverberg, a physician with thirty years of practice, reads every surrogate's medical records himself. Twenty-seven years of building families, one standard: nurse-led care, independent escrow, a capped caseload, and results we publish. [CONFIRM 27 years]
