    This week we talked with the very sweet and lovely surrogate, Whitney. She shares her beautiful journey and how everything kind of took a turn near the end that no one was expecting.

    Whitney and baby are perfectly fine, but definitely tune in to hear her beautiful story and how sometimes a pregnancy can go so smoothly for 8 months and take a turn at the very end.

    This week we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with a UK second generation traditional surrogate! Kim was introduced to surrogacy at the age of 5 when her mother decided to be a traditional surrogate. 

    Kim and her two intended fathers Tom and Chris join us in a conversation about traditional surrogacy, surrogacy in the UK, and being a second generation surrogate. Oh and did I mention she is also a “child-free surrogate”!?

    We couldn’t think of a better podcast to air in celebration of our 100th episode. Tune in to hear and learn so much from these three wonderful people.

Alyssa-Fibroids & Fertility ,

So much fun!

As a mom through surrogacy I can’t get enough of this podcast. Yes, I have my miracle baby, but I have so much love for the surrogacy community.

The dynamics between you guys is so much fun. It’s just like going out to lunch with good friends and chit chatting about surrogacy. It’s real experiences from real people in it. I love the rawness, especially the Friday Facts!

Keep it up!
