In this episode, I sit down with fashion creator Mallory K. Goldman to talk about her surrogacy journey and provide an honest look at how a surrogacy process works from start to finish. Mallory shares the challenge of keeping her surrogacy private and why it’s so thrilling to get it all out in the open, how she has lived with an autoimmune disease since she was fourteen years old, and what led to her finally exploring surrogacy. She describes how the surrogacy process progressed, from the embryo selection to matching with their surrogate, why it was important to incorporate normalcy throughout the process, and what she and her husband were looking for in a surrogate match. She also shares why her surrogacy experience is unique, why the embryo transfer was the hardest part of the process, what she is most excited about when it comes to parenting, and more.
