This podcast does exactly what it says - it normalizes surrogacy. As a mom through surrogacy and fertility advocate I love hearing the stories from real parents and surrogates. Thank you for sharing the beauty and love of our community

Thanks for what you do

I came across your podcast and social media. I love that you’re passionate about getting the word out on Surrogacy. I am a 1 time Surrogate, single Momma. Super amazing outcome from my journey. I’d love so much to be a part of your platform in anyway I can! If you think I’d be a good fit for an interview the answer is yes yes!! @itstiffanyrae-tiktok
