An Australian Surrogate Story

In this episode, we chat with two amazing women - Bec and Krista. Krista has a medical condition that means she  is unable to fall pregnant, and when she shared this information with her friend Bec, Bec offered to act as her surrogate.  As a result, Krista is now mum to a beautiful 8-month-old baby girl! Bec and Krista very generously share with us the highs and lows of their journey and how they navigated both the legal and medical hurdles involved. We are so honoured and grateful that they shared their story with us - and we are so excited to share it with you.
