Founder, Producer and Mommy of three Sydney Holland talks about her independent surrogacy journeys with two different agencies. In her 30's, she discovered she had a rare blood clotting disease which didn't allow her to carry children. She didn't let that stop her. She discusses the importance of vetting the companies you choose, building your community, making genuine connections and the rest will all fall into place.
