Barette was first inspired to become a surrogate in 2014 after witnessing close friends struggle with infertility. Moved by their journey, she stepped in to help and later completed a second surrogacy in 2019, solidifying her passion for helping build families. 

Today, Barette is a dedicated advocate and educator, known for guiding women and intended parents through the surrogacy journey with honesty, clarity, and compassion. 

She is a Certified Postpartum Doula, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, Fertility Coach, and Perinatal and Postpartum Nutritionist, bringing a well-rounded, wellness-focused approach to every stage of the journey. 

Her mission is to elevate surrogacy through education, ethical leadership, and strong advocacy while supporting families and surrogates every step of the way. 

Barette and her husband of 20 years are proud parents to two boys & three Boston terriers and reside in Las Vegas. You can hear more of Barette’s story and her insights on how not all agencies are the same on our podcast episode, The Women Who Bring Families Together.
