Customer Reviews
Great Information
As a new surrogate applicant the information that is provided within this podcast is so valuable! The details describing the entire process and the things to think about as a surrogate have been so helpful! I look forward to learning more and hopefully continuing my surrogacy journey!
Struggle with host
This podcast has great information but I was thrown off when I realized the picture on the title page of the podcast is not the host. Also as I listened I found the host would constantly reference her surrogacy journey in the middle of interviewing people.
1x GC
So I started listening to this podcast from the beginning and as soon as I hit episode 3 with Brooke I might have to reevaluate 😅 I was a GC for her at her agency, Roots, in 2019 and have nothing nice to say about her. Other than that, first 2 episodes are great!
