Anna joins me to talk about her beautiful daughter Evie, who was born still after a uterine abruption. Anna's pregnancies have been extremely high risk and accepting that it was ultimately too dangerous to carry again, she decided to contact a surrogate, or in this case a gestational carrier. She explains to us the complicated journey of finding one and going through the entire process.  We hope that this sheds light on a topic that is rather common within the loss community but that we find isn't spoken about as much.

*Please note that this was recorded after the ruling in Alabama therefore we do not discuss this topic.

If you are curious about surrogacy or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Anna on Instagram @_anna.e.russell_
