A special week for Liz as she has released two books especially written for children about surrogacy. 

Every family has a unique story, and every child deserves to understand their own with love, honesty, and confidence.

This heartwarming children's book series gently introduces the concept of surrogacy in an age-appropriate, reassuring way. Through simple language, engaging illustrations, and relatable characters, these books help children understand how some babies are welcomed into the world with the help of a surrogate.

.

Whether your family was created through surrogacy, you're preparing a child for the arrival of a new sibling, or you're looking for an inclusive story that celebrates different paths to parenthood, this series provides a thoughtful starting point for meaningful conversations.

Inside the series, children will discover:

• 
  Easy-to-understand explanations of surrogacy.
• 
  Positive messages about love, family, and belonging.
• 
  Gentle reassurance that families are built in many beautiful ways.
• 
  Conversation starters for parents, caregivers, and educators.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, these books encourage curiosity, empathy, and pride in every family's unique journey. Because what makes a family isn't how it begins—it's the love that grows every day.

In this episode Liz chats about her new Accreditation as a Grief Counsellor specialising in Fertility and Surrogacy.

For so many of us that have gone through fertility treatments, gone through IVF, and then go onto surrogacy; we go through so many layers of grief.

Grief that our bodies are not being able to what we’ve been told they should do 

Grief of multiple loss or any loss 

Grief of all the “what if’s”

Grief of another failed treatment 

Grief of stopping treatments 

Grief of what is next 

Grief of looking at surrogacy and struggling to come to terms with how that looks 

Grief of perhaps using a donor program 

Grief of not being able to carry 

The feeling of failure; not only as a woman but men also. 

Grief that we’ve failed our partner, families and society

Fertility grief is very real and not supported enough around the world. Let's open up the conversation and try and make a change.
