A surrogacy agency’s sudden closure left numerous clients without funds or family-building opportunities. The U.S. Justice Department recently filed charges of fraud and money laundering against the agency’s owner and her husband.

On December 10, 2025, in Washougal, Washington, law enforcement conducted activities at Megan Hall-Greenberg’s residence. This occurred after a year of frustration for many clients who lost significant sums when Surro Connections, a well-known surrogacy agency, shut down abruptly.

Last week, these financial losses and disrupted family plans led to serious charges against the agency’s owner. The Justice Department’s move comes after careful investigation and aims to address the financial harm inflicted on the affected clients.
