Anna Penko

Surrogacy Coordinator

Anna was drawn to Egg Donor & Surrogate Solutions after experiencing firsthand the exceptional communication, care, and organization that define the team. Deeply impressed by the level of support she received, she knew she wanted to be part of a group that goes above and beyond for families on this life-changing journey.

What Anna loves most about the surrogacy industry is the sense of unity and compassion that brings people together. She’s inspired by how so many caring individuals join forces to make someone’s dream of parenthood come true. As she puts it, “We’re all in this together—to love, to support, and to create babies!”

In her role as a Surrogacy Coordinator, Anna guides and supports intended parents and surrogates through an intricate and emotional process, helping them feel confident and cared for every step of the way. She’s especially passionate about communication, believing that building trusting and transparent relationships begins with open, thoughtful dialogue.

Before joining ED&SS, Anna spent 14 years working in inpatient hospital pharmacy—making this a big and exciting career change. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, Chip, their son, Juno, and their cat, King Louie. Together, they live in the beautiful, rolling country hills of northeast Ohio and love exploring the outdoors—hiking, kayaking, swimming, skiing, and discovering new parks. When she’s not adventuring outside, Anna enjoys relaxing with a great movie or binge-worthy show.

Called To Carry

Surrogacy is more than medical. It’s deeply spiritual. And discerning a call to carry (or to let someone carry for you) isn’t always easy. Whether you’re pursuing surrogacy, preparing to carry for someone else, or just navigating unfamiliar terrain, you’re not alone. Called to Carry is a 14-day devotional for women of faith walking through the sacred, complex, and often hidden journey of surrogacy. Get your free copy today.
