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 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.

This week we had the amazing honor of speaking with Joanna Beck Wilkinson as we dive in on all things law and surrogacy. She was so informative, transparent, and kindly shared as much information as we could cram into 2 hours! She even answers some questions that we asked, you the listeners, to send in. She is truly amazing and I hope there are more Family Building Lawyers like her out there.

This week we had the honor of speaking with Brianna from Nodal. Nodal is changing the game for matching in a surrogacy journey. And is being referred to as “The Bumble of surrogacy” by giving surrogates the chance to swipe right first. Tune in to hear how this amazing platform is placing the power of a surrogate’s match directly in the palm of their hands.

Also, Brianna was kind enough to share her experience of surrogacy and being a surrogate. And how her journey lead her to where she is today.

This week we got to interview someone who is near and dear to both of our hearts. Ellen’s husband and my father. He gives us his perspective on how he was introduced to surrogacy, his journeys with Ellen through surrogacy, his opinion on his daughter then participating in surrogacy 20 years later, and how he sees surrogacy today. A huge thank you to Michael and all of the surrogate support partners/persons for your love and support. Surrogates would not be able to do this without you. 💕
