Episode 31 - WARRIOR STORY - All About Surrogacy with @TheBiggestAsk: A Discussion about Surrogacy with Intended Mom MJ and Surrogate Ashley
Today is another episode about surrogacy, but with a twist. Today, we speak to both an intended parent and a surrogate to tackle all of your questions about surrogacy.
We talk about the surrogate process from start to finish, but we also talk about some of the challenges of navigating this relationship. There are a lot of intricacies in building this really special relationship and we talk about some of these challenges today.
I do have other episodes about surrogacy. You can check out episode 15 with Monica of @waitingforbabywunder and episode 17 with @christinawangdmd to learn more about surrogacy from the intended parent side. We also have a brief discussion about legal considerations in episode 27 with a fertility focused attorney.
You guys know the drill, drop some 5 star love if you dug this episode and leave a written review. Shoot me a DM on Instagram with suggestions for future episodes! Otherwise, let’s get to it!
