Genesis Rising Surrogacy Center

Genesis Rising Surrogacy Center is a surrogacy and egg donation agency founded in Las Vegas, Nevada, by Catharine Murray, a licensed clinical social worker who previously spent about two decades arranging domestic adoptions. The agency draws on that adoption background, particularly in counseling, screening and preparing women before they are matched as gestational carriers.

Genesis Rising is local to the Las Vegas area, where it offers home visits to applicants, but accepts surrogates from most U.S. states. Its full-service program covers application review, phone counseling assessments, background and insurance checks, medical record review, matching, medical clearance at a partner IVF clinic, contract coordination, escrow oversight and hospital coordination, with a personal case manager throughout; several coordinators are former surrogates. The agency also runs an egg donor program with its own donor database.

Intended parents come from the United States and abroad, and the agency has held information sessions for European families, including in Germany. Its website offers translated pages in several European languages.
