p class="whoweare">Darlene M. PinkertonFounder, President and CEO of APM since 1998: Following her own experience as a parent through surrogacy in 1990, Darlene first served as a contract coordinator with the law office of Thomas Pinkerton—coordinating the legal and contractual aspects of donation and surrogacy—before beginning in 1998 to successfully connect clients with just the right ovum donors or surrogates, and doing it with absolute confidentiality. APM helped bring more than 400 babies into the world by the end of 2005.

As articulate with the media as she is empathetic with her clients and donors, Darlene has appeared on Today, on CNN and MSNBC programs, on the BBC documentary "Modern Times: The Price of Eggs", and on other television and radio programs. She has been interviewed for articles in The New Yorker, Newsweek, and Self, among other magazines and newspapers. She is the mother of 16 year old Kaitlin born through surrogacy in 1990 and 34-year-old Ty (to whom she donated a lung—but that's another story. Click here to see it. Requires Real Player).

Becca Hansen Vice-President and Donor Medical Coordinator for APM since 2000: Becca has spent most of her 30-year medical career in maternal/child health—most recently as an IVF coordinator for a leading infertility center on the West Coast, where she coordinated over a thousand cycles. Becca's warm and personal touch, particularly necessary during such a critical and sometimes difficult process, undoubtedly contributed to the high proportion of successful outcomes.
