Ep 16 Surrogacy: Finding Purpose and Fighting Misconceptions with Eloise Drain


Listen Later

Surrogacy is shrouded in misconceptions, and it's often the answer to the end of a long infertility journey. Eloise Drane, the owner of egg donor and surrogacy agency Family Inceptions, tackles the misunderstood topic head-on with Baby or Bust host and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lora Shahine.

Eloise Drane is deeply familiar with the surrogacy process—personally and professionally. As a six-time egg donor and three-time gestational surrogate, this episode highlights Eloise's perspective on traditional vs. gestational surrogacy, the role of a surrogacy agency, considerations with surrogacy compensation, and advice for intended parents. Together with Dr. Shahine, this episode gives an honest depiction of surrogacy while dispelling common stigmas.
