What really happens when you carry a baby for someone else?

This week on The StickyBeak, we dive into the emotional, ethical, and legal realities of surrogacy — through the story of Yessenia, a U.S. surrogate and content creator. From medical risks and legal grey zones to celebrity surrogacy scandals and the ethics of creating families, we explore what it truly means to give birth for another person.

If surrogacy is done with care, consent, and love — should anyone else have a say?

A powerful and deeply personal look at the world of surrogacy, motherhood, and modern family-making.

Thank you to Yessenia for sharing her experiences.
