Also on the program, we have the founder of Not My Tummy, Baden Colt!

Baden  is a passionate storyteller, award-winning fertility change-maker, mom-by-surrogacy, and the founder of Not My Tummy. A master's degree in health communication has led to over a decade of experience working in health care as a writer, marketer, and social media expert.

 In 2017, Baden began her journey into the surrogacy world when doctors confirmed she would be unable to safely carry a pregnancy.

Using skills honed from the corporate world, she began sharing her surrogacy journey online. Her story quickly went viral, reaching millions of people - most importantly, her surrogate Ashley. After years of heartbreak and hope, Baden and her husband welcomed their daughter Scottie in the summer of 2023. 

When intended parents from around the globe began asking for her help telling their own stories, she saw an opportunity to put her experience into practice. From there, Not My Tummy was born.

We also have Catherine Lane, five-time surrogate on the show! As well as dads, Dr. Michael De Jager and Dr. Matthew Brockman, who are here to talk about their experience being married with children by surrogacy.
