In certain cultures, surrogacy is considered a taboo. There are many preconceived notions about the process, which prevents people from considering it as an option when looking to expand their family. In this episode, Dr. Jackie is joined by two-time surrogate and the founder and co-owner of Surrogacy Miracles & Consulting Shadina Blunt to share exactly what people can expect when considering surrogacy.  They discuss when to know it is time to explore surrogacy, what to look for when matching an intended parent with a gestational carrier, how the process works from start to finish, tips for a successful surrogacy, and the financial costs associated with surrogacy.  If this is an option you are considering either as an intended parent or a gestational carrier, this episode is for you.   For more information, check out: surrogacymiraclesconsulting.org   Produced by Dear Media.
