Creative Family Connections Team

Diane Hinson, Esq.

Diane Hinson, a cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, founded Creative Family Connections LLC on the principle that “everyone can build a family.” After starting her own family as a single mother, Diane built a full-service surrogacy agency and reproductive rights law firm that is consistently one of the highest-ranked agencies in the world. Clients from across the country and around the world choose CFC for the compassionate care and legal expertise that Diane and her team provide. Because of her passion for family equality, Diane has fought to obtain landmark court rulings for same-sex parents. She has opened doors to IVF clinics for gay fathers, drafted and advocated for gay-friendly surrogacy legislation, served as HRC’s pro-bono counsel for surrogacy issues, spoken frequently about surrogacy, and provided surrogacy advice on the well-known Surromoms.com website. She has also collaborated with fellow surrogacy attorneys to develop an in-depth 50-state surrogacy law analysis, which is widely relied upon in the surrogacy world and cited in the media.

Founder

Jenn Lange

Jenn became a case manager with Creative Family Connections in September of 2018 after completing her own journey as a gestational surrogate for gay intended parents. As a part of the case manager team, Jenn provides direct support to Intended Parents and Gestational Carriers throughout their journey. Jenn earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nursing from York College of Pennsylvania and spent over 10 years working as a registered nurse in various areas of healthcare, including nursery and postpartum care before joining our team. Jenn has always had a passion for helping others, both as a registered nurse and during her own journey as a gestational carrier. This passion for helping others build their families has carried over into her professional career as she loves sharing her firsthand knowledge of surrogacy with her clients! Jenn resides in Maryland with her husband and three children and loves to run in her free time.

Niki Renslow

Niki is the Senior Manager of Surrogate Recruiting and Matching. Her team recruits and screens Gestational Surrogate Candidates, and then matches them to our Intended Parents. Niki oversees the Recruiting & Matching team. With the support of her team, Niki reviews surrogate applications, speaks to surrogate candidates and references, and performs many of our gestational surrogates’ in-home visits. You may also experience Niki’s warm presence and enthusiasm for check-ins after the journey, as Niki and her team complete the post-delivery calls for our surrogates.
Niki offers a unique perspective as she was a former surrogate herself, carrying twins for a same-sex couple. She brings profound understanding of the process and is highly attuned to nurturing a relationship with potential gestational carriers. Niki’s passion for surrogacy and building families is contagious.
