Samantha was the very first person I ever met in New Zealand who had experience with surrogacy...which is the perfect example of how generous she is with her time and how open and eager she is to help others navigating the surrogacy process. Sam was a surrogate a few years ago in NZ and has a wealth of knowledge to share about her incredible experience.

I really wanted to kick this podcast off with a bang...and Christian was the perfect person to help me do that! He is a huge advocate for the surrogacy community in New Zealand and has made a tremendous impact on normalizing this beautiful way of creating a family. Christian is the creator of Love Makes a Family—a platform that helps intended parents, surrogates and donors connect—as well as the popular Instagram account, Love From Your Dads. Most importantly, he's the proud father of two adorable children via surrogacy.

I thought it was only fair to put myself and my husband, Travis, in the hot seat before I had others spill their surrogacy stories. Trav and I dive into our wild and bumpy surrogacy ride as intended parents so far and all the good, bad and ugly that have come along with it.
