This episode is about surrogate partner involvement. The husband, wife, or committed boyfriend or girlfriend of a would-be surrogate has an important role to play which cannot be overlooked. In this episode, we talk all about how surrogacy is a shared experience and what partners should expect when the lady in their life becomes a gestational surrogate.
We Discuss Topics Such As:
- Why so many partners are initially opposed to the concept of surrogacy.
- We clear up the 7 most common misconceptions which prevent partners from immediate excitement.
- We list the considerations worthy of candid discussion between would-be-surrogates and their partners.
- We list what exactly is expected of partners, and how difficult, on a scale of 1 to 10, each task is.
- We share just why the full support of a partner is required. Why a lady cannot do this without the “buy in” from her person.
- We share real stories of partners going “above and beyond” in support of the journey.
- And how to patiently bring you partner around to the idea of you becoming a surrogate.
Despite this episode being all about partners, you do not need to be married or in a committed relationship to become a surrogate. Many single women become surrogates. You are able to do so if you have a stable, supportive tribe or support person, whether a parent or a close friend.
