Show Notes

In this episode, I interview two-time surrogate, Jessica Adams. As a mom with small children at home, Jessica talks about not only what the surrogate journey has been like for her, but for her husband and kids as well. She talks about the relationships she developed with the Intended Parents whose children she carried. She discusses her motivation for choosing this path, issues that have come up along the way, and advice for how surrogates can best advocate for themselves throughout this process. 

Guest Bio

Jessica is a mom of two little ones who have her completely wrapped around their fingers. She loves all things family building and is very proud of her role as a surrogate.
