This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Paige from Art Risk Solutions. We dive into all things insurance! We can’t thank Sarah enough for taking the time to explain how insurance works in the surrogacy world. This conversation has truly been eye opening and incredibly informative. Tune in to hear everything you should and need to know about health insurance when being a surrogate.

CONTRACTS!! What’s in them? What should be in them!? What’s legal jargon? What too look out for?  Contracts are scary and there is not a lot of talk about them. We hope this helps start the conversation and that we can all help and learn from one another.  Remember, you always have the right to ask for changes. It’s no guarantee, but you’ll never know until you ask!

What did you change in your contract?

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Joe Williams, cofounder of New York Surrogacy Center. New York Surrogacy Center was the first licensed surrogate agency in New York! We dive into the surrogacy statutes and the Gestational Surrogate Bill of Rights that New York has put in place. And after learning about all this, we truly hope more states will follow New York in allowing and protecting  surrogacy and all it has to offer. 💕

Surrogates in the United States, more often than not, are compensated. But for some bizarre reason, this is such a taboo subject to talk about. So we’ve decided to start the conversation in hopes to continue it and bring awareness and comfort in the compensation process of surrogacy. 

We are providing a service. It’s within our right to be compensated for that service if we choose to be. AND IT’S OKAY 💕 

We also sprinkle in some other friendly surrogate insight and advice. 🙃

SURROGACY IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING! However, not every journey is. The title is no lie, but just because this journey was hell doesn’t mean surrogacy isn’t beautiful and amazing! I still was able to help a family grow. But the way I was treated by everyone involved in this journey was and is disgusting! We all had to sign an NDA so this is strictly based off my side of the story. (Which is my truth!) But I refuse to let this journey define me and define surrogacy. Not all journeys have to be business or as the world is calling it “transactional”. Mutual respect can take a journey in the right direction.

I share this story in hopes that a surrogate never has to go through something similar. 💕

The Kardashians sparked a controversial conversation concerning “transactional surrogacy”. Which has been extremely exaggerated by many people. But whose comments struck the community most was Candice Owen. We talk with other surrogates about those remarks, and how many of us feel and portray surrogacy.

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Aria, the second half of the duo from Modernly Ever After. She shares her surrogacy journey story and how she became a cofounder of MEA. And even touches on her second surrogacy journey that has just begun and a little bit about being a woman of color in this industry.

This week Ellen says goodbye to her surrogacy journey. She explains how the entire experience of surrogacy was for her and what it meant and the things it brought to her and her family. While it’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to something you love, the end of surrogacy was able to start a new beginning in her life.

This week we are revisiting my second journey! How it was mainly peaceful and how my journey with this agency started. However, I got a lot of push back about asking for a revision in the contract. But not from the IPs.
