71. When it comes to pregnancy, best to just leave it to your surrogate, she knows her body
Tim and Sasha joined SASS in January 2022 having attended the Rainbow Families Seminar and the Growing Families Conference in 2021. In May 2022, I introduced them to their surrogate Lizzy as part of SASS and began surro-dating as complete strangers. Tim and Sasha met their IVF doctor during the Growing Families Conference. They later created their embryos with their IVF clinic in Los Angeles with an American donor. Fast forward to May 2023, Tim, Sasha and Lizzy travelled to LA for an embryo transfer and it was a success at first try. Atticus was born a healthy, chubby boy in February 2024. Tim has shared their story at a Growing Families conference exactly 2 years after meeting Lizzy. It was the same conference where they met their doctor, lawyer (Stephen Page) and counsellor (Katrina Hale) in person for the first time.
These podcasts were recorded as part of the free webinar series run by Surrogacy Australia. If you would like to attend one, head to our website for dates and registration links. They can also be found on our YouTube channel so you can see the photos that are described in the recordings.

About me:
My name is Anna McKie and I’m a part time high school senior Math teacher, single mum with two children in Adelaide South Australia and birthed as a surrogate in September 2020 for two Dads. I’ve also been an egg donor for 3 families, and 2 of those were for surrogacy teams. I have been closely involved in the Australian surrogacy community since 2016 and am responsible for the day-to-day administration of Surrogacy Australia's Support Service (SASS).
I’m passionate about the surrogacy community (the village) and that people should be able to navigate surrogacy in Australia without being on Facebook. That was part of our motivation for creating SASS, the monthly zoom catch ups and the free webinars. Within SASS we have a Mentor program, so you can be connected with a peer to meet in person and to ask questions without fear of online judgement.
