Diana Revutsky
Founder, Surrogacy Program Director
Diana oversees the program's direction, partnerships and overall service quality. Born in the Republic of Georgia, Diana lived for many years in St. Petersburg, Russia and emigrated to the United States in 1979. Previously, Diana founded Adoptions & Aid International - one of the first and longest-running Russian adoption programs in the United States. Over the years this nonprofit adoption agency helped thousands of Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, and Armenian orphans find homes with loving American families. In 2006, Adoptions & Aid International merged with Partners for Adoption, a California adoption agency that had been facilitating domestic and international adoptions since 1983.
Wanting to help families who are unable to adopt, Diana researched a variety of options for helping childless people grow their families. After much research and multiple trips to Ukraine, our International Surrogacy program was born. Diana can be reached at diana@surrogateagency.com

Lisa Jones
Surrogacy Consultant
Lisa has been active in the adoption community since 2002, when she and her husband began exploring international adoption for their own family. She had traveled extensively to over 20 countries, so international adoption seemed a natural path for her. Lisa and Dennis adopted a baby girl from Russia in 2004. Lilia is now 4 years old. Lisa's experiences in Russia have inspired her with the desire to help other families find their children, wherever they may be. She is very excited with the new opportunity for families to fulfill their dream of having a child through international surrogacy. She is an enthusiastic member of our surrogacy team. She enjoys nothing more that talking with families about their dreams and how to make them real. Lisa can be reached at lisa@surrogateagency.com
