FBI Activity Outside Hall-Greenberg’s Home
In December of 2025, a prominent surrogacy agency shattered without warning, which left parents-to-be out of tens of thousands, and surrogates missing payments as their pregnancy continued.
Megan Hall-Greenberg, age 49 and owner of Surro Connections has effectively disappeared. Clients and employees say she hasn’t replied to their messages since December 3rd, 2025, and she has deleted her social media accounts.
By mid-December, the FBI had arrived at Hall-Greenberg’s home (right) and the Washington headquarters of Surro Connections. A neighbor witness said he saw FBI agents escort someone from the house into a car, but the person’s identity is unknown. To add to the layers of secrecy, the employees of Surro Connections suddenly lost access to their company email and records systems the day before the company shut down. One employee estimates that 150 or more families may have had money in the company’s escrow system, meaning $2-5 million dollars could have been effected, and one client had transferred more than $66,000 to the escrow for a planned embryo transfer.
The disaster and panic among employees, surrogates, and law enforcement continued two days after the FBI’s arrival at Hall-Greenberg’s home. A message from Hall-Greenberg said that Surro Connections was “ceasing all operations” because of operational and financial difficulties. The company had “no liquid capital” to pay them back, according to the email. The staff also received an email informing them that their employment was “terminated effective immediately”.
Many red flags show themselves as time goes on. These events and actions are very out of character for Hall-Greenberg. Clients reported that they weren't just “faceless names or numbers on a ledger,” and that “She knew us. She knew our stories”, which only adds to the hurt felt by hundreds.
This is, unfortunately, not the first surrogacy-related firm to be rocked by a scandal. Since 2022, there have been at least four instances in which owners or managers of surrogacy related escrow accounts stole funds from intended parents. Hall-Greenberg used those scandals to persuade potential parents to keep their escrow funds in-house, according to clients. Many clients noticed late payments in months before the shutdown, but had given her the benefit of the doubt.
Although Hall-Greenberg managed millions in Surro Connections alone, reports indicate she may have been under financial strain, which would provide not a justification for her actions but a motive. She sold several cheerleading gyms she owned in the Washington State and Oregon area in 2024, took out at least four loans in the past six years, sold a lender a percentage of Surro Connection’s future revenue (who later sued her, and then dropped the case for unspecified reasons) and reportedly owes Oregon more than $84,000 in unpaid taxes. In October of 2025, a court ordered Hall-Greenberg to pay American Express over $70,000 that she owed in credit card debt. Fewer than six months prior, she’d been ordered to pay the company more than $30,000.
Clients and surrogate mothers were in a state of shock, living through a reality that seemed impossible – an agency imploding “overnight”. Intended parents reportedly lost anywhere from $40,000-$50,000 each. More than that though, they lost hope. They had felt that Hall-Greenberg knew their dreams and that her agency was quite possibly a piece of the only hope they had of building families.
