This is part 2 our surrogacy series. In this episode, I interview Shay, who tells her story of loss and infertility as she and her partner try to have a baby. After many years, impossible decisions, and heartbreaking loss, they decide to pursue surrogacy with their one and only viable embryo.

Shay recounts how she met Mariah, her surrogate carrier, how the surrogacy process works, and her fears, anxiety, and joys throughout the pregnancy on her journey to become a mom.

Join us next week for parts 3&4 as we hear the rest of Shay's story and Mariah's story!

This experience has deepened their trust in humanity, science, love, and family.
