KinPath Surrogacy Agency Marks 13 Years of Helping Families - Launches In Mexico

The international surrogacy agency that started from personal failure is now one of the most trusted across 12 nations, including US, UK, Australia & Europe

MéRIDA, YUCATáN, MEXICO, October 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 13 years ago, Paul Norris-Ongso and Josh Norris-Ongso weren't founders of an international surrogacy agency. They were a gay couple from Melbourne, Australia, trying to become fathers. They found out the hard way that the surrogacy industry was not built for families of same-sex couples.

The pair, who met at a friend's party in Melbourne and have been together for 18 years, chose to use an agency in Thailand for their own surrogacy journey, through which they had 3 children. They navigated an expensive surrogacy process full of frustrations. They came home with three beautiful children and a burning conviction that intended parents deserved far better than what the industry was offering.

So they built it.

Today in 2026, Kinpath Surrogacy has helped 300+ couples or singles conceive via surrogacy, helped 300+ surrogates fund their dreams & launched a new clinic in Merida, Mexico.

Challenges intended parents face with most surrogacy agencies in Mexico :

Paul and Josh did not just experience their own journey. In the years since, they have spoken with hundreds of intended parents - gay couples, straight couples, single parents who came to them carrying the same frustrations, the same scars, and in some cases the same unresolved legal situations that no one had warned them about. The problems were consistently the same.

1) Poor communication from agencies and clinics - intended parents left waiting weeks for updates, with no clear point of contact or outreach when things changed

2) Legal pitfalls that blindsided families - processes that were described as routine turning out to be contested, delayed, or dependent on individual judges; post-birth documentation taking months longer than promised

3) Constantly shifting laws - countries opening and closing to international surrogacy with little warning, leaving families mid-journey when regulations changed

4) Clinic experiences that fell short - medical protocols not explained, IVF decisions made without proper consent, success rates that did not reflect gestational carrier cycle data specifically

5) Hidden costs and moving goal posts - agency quotes that excluded significant expense categories, with additional bills surfacing at each stage of the journey, there was no clarity on the cost of surrogacy

6) Gaps for Same-Sex Couples - agencies that claimed to support LGBTQ+ families but had no practical experience managing egg donation alongside surrogacy, no knowledge of the legal nuances facing same-sex couples in destination countries, and no surrogates who had genuinely been briefed on working with gay intended parents

7) No post-birth support - babies handed to families with a “good luck” and then left to navigate consular registration, Birth certificate, citizenship documentation, and home-country legal recognition entirely on their own

8) The emotional cost of feeling alone- the sense that the agency they had trusted had moved on to the next client the moment the birth certificate was issued


Paul, a lawyer by training, and Josh, a physiotherapist running his own practice, began offering free seminars, sharing what they had learned. The demand was overwhelming. Within 12 months, Paul had left his career as an intellectual property litigator. KinPath Surrogacy was launched.
13 years later, KinPath Surrogacy operates across 12 countries, with active programs in Mexico, Colombia, Ghana, and beyond. The agency has guided hundreds of families through journeys that typically run 15 to 24 months from first consultation to arriving home with their child.

Every program is built on a transparent fixed-fee, all-inclusive model the founders wished had existed when they needed it: no hidden costs, no surprises & surrogate support extending three months post-delivery to ensure her full physical and emotional recovery.

They even relocated their family to Mexico to ensure their flagship program in Merida gets the oversight it deserves. It is a choice that reflects something central to what KinPath has always been: a surrogacy agency run by people who have been intended parents, who understand that this is not a transaction but a life-changing journey, and who know what it costs when the agency you trusted does not hold up its end. To continue their commitment to providing "transparency", they have launched a mobile app for intended parents & surrogates to manage their journey, which they are very excited about.
