I Want to Put a Baby in You!

Episode 195 : Hatchlings - Angela Hartshorn


Listen Later

Angela worked in the fertility domain for over 30 years. She has extensive experience working with fertility centers all over the world. She also has clinical experience, having worked directly with more than a dozen Reproductive Endocrinologists at five different fertility centers. Her mix of personal and professional experience has given Angela the skills to be a special advocate for those in the fertility realm. She is known for maintaining exceptional standards when assisting those in need. More importantly, Angela is equipped by experience with the tools to help others complete their families via third party fertility treatments. She smoothly coordinates with a variety of stakeholders, including patients, families, caregivers, and global partner networks. If you are in any of these roles, you’ll find Angela to be a professional, intelligent, and extremely capable partner and advocate.

Listen as Angela shares with Ellen and Jenn:

  • Doing it all in the family-building space. She’s been a surrogate and an egg donor, worked for multiple fertility clinics, and runs a surrogacy agency, among other roles!
  • Being many kinds of a parent: birth parent, adoptive parent, step-parent, and .., hatchling parent?
  • While working as a medical assistant at a fertility clinic early in her career, a patient asked if she would be her egg donor.
  • Losing touch, only to reconnect shortly before recipient mom’s early death. 
  • Many years later, one of the hatchlings visited Angela’s area to check out a college. 
  • Spending extended time together when his car broke down. 
  • Hatchling thinking Angela was a friend of his mother, not knowing more. 
  • Reaching a point where it felt important to tell him the truth. 
  • Angela hearing from his siblings. Letting them know that she was there for whatever they needed. 
  • Relishing her large, blended family
