LAURA PLESKAC, Trust Accounting Manager

Financial Team

A native of Nebraska, Laura Pleskac moved to Portland in 2012 after beginning her accounting career in New York City. While attending college in Nebraska, Laura had the opportunity to travel abroad and study in Spain and France. These international experiences are a valuable asset as she works with families from around the world at NWSC.

Laura comes from a large family and appreciates that she is part of a company that helps other families grow. She loves the supportive environment and the unique personalities that make every day interesting and fun. When she’s off the clock, her favorite things are knitting, traveling and outdoor adventures.

What Laura will do you for you: She ensures all surrogates are compensated and reimbursed for the items outlined in their contract. She is available to answer questions about payments, reimbursements and other accounting functions.

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
