S2 | 73: Surrogacy Panel w/Candice Swanson & Ariel Taylor
If you’ve ever been curious about surrogacy and how it works, this episode is for you! In this panel, Patricia interviews Candice Swanson and Ariel Taylor about their experience as multiple-time surrogates, who it can benefit, ethical and legal considerations, myths, and more! Candice and Ariel bring unique perspectives as citizens of different countries (the US and Canada!), and additionally have other professional experiences in the birth world.
Candice Swanson is a single mom to 2 kids living in southern California running a luxury photography business and a 2nd time surrogate and loves the beach!
Ariel Taylor is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Psychotherapist who has been involved in the surrogacy and fertility community since 2015 and has guided countless couples and individuals on their journey to parenthood. After her own complicated miscarriage as a surrogate in 2016, Ariel discovered that there was very little specialized counseling for her painful situation and realized a much larger need for mental health professionals that deeply understand the fertility world. She opened Carried with Love (CWL) to provide 100% virtual support for those struggling with infertility, loss, pregnancy challenges or postpartum mood disorders. Ariel has carried 5 babies as a gestational surrogate which resulted in 4 live births – the most recent in the summer of 2023. Although Ariel is now retired as a surrogate, she continues to be an active presence in the fertility community and leverages her strong social media following to normalize all roads to parenthood for women and couples around the world.
