BHARATI KASIBHATLA, Financial Coordinator

Financial Team

After calling Portland home since 2006, Bharati joined the NWSC team in 2018. She has previously taught writing, English literature, and gender studies at Pacific University and at the University of Florida. She is originally from Mumbai, India and enjoys reading, writing and traveling. Bharati says she loves her NWSC co-workers and the passion they bring to supporting the intended parents and surrogates.

What Bharati will do for you: She manages trust accounts and reimburses surrogates according to the terms outlined in their contract. She is available to answer any questions they might have about reimbursements and any questions the intending parents have about the payments and trust.

Surrogacy with NWSC during COVID-19

NWSC is committed to helping families achieve their dream of parenthood through surrogacy while also prioritizing everyone’s health and safety. We understand families and surrogates may have waited years to start this process, and we are ready to help you with your journey. Check out our frequently asked questions about surrogacy with NWSC during this unique time.

Are NWSC offices open?
Yes, most NWSC employees are working remotely, and all meetings are being held over Zoom. We continue to be available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM PST.

Can I still start my surrogacy journey as an intended family?
Yes, potential surrogates can complete the screening process virtually and are available to match with families. If you are interested in finding out more, the first step is to schedule a free, initial consultation over Zoom here. When you are ready to get started, the NWSC fee agreement can be emailed and signed electronically.

Can I become a surrogate during COVID-19?
Yes, we are excited that so many wonderful women are contacting us to start their surrogacy journey and help a deserving intended family have a baby. We are completing the screening process over email, phone, and Zoom. If you are ready to find out more, please complete our online intake form.

Can I be matched?
Yes, we have many loving families and generous surrogates ready to be matched. Surrogates are able to undergo all the screening steps virtually, and we are matching them as soon as they complete that process. Match meetings are held over Zoom, and surrogates and families are also working on their legal contracts as they normally would after a successful match meeting.

Are clinics open?
Clinics are closely monitoring local orders and have implemented social distancing procedures. So the process looks a little different than before COVID-19, but medical screenings and embryo transfers are taking place.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out any time, and you can reach us at info@nwsurrogacycenter.com. We hope you are healthy and safe.

Sincerely,

The NWSC Team
