Anna: Surrogacy After Loss
Anna joins me to talk about her beautiful daughter Evie, who was born still after a uterine abruption. Anna's pregnancies have been extremely high risk and accepting that it was ultimately too dangerous to carry again, she decided to contact a surrogate, or in this case a gestational carrier. She explains to us the complicated journey of finding one and going through the entire process. We hope that this sheds light on a topic that is rather common within the loss community but that we find isn't spoken about as much.
*Please note that this was recorded after the ruling in Alabama therefore we do not discuss this topic.
