Tue Jan 20 2026
In a surrogacy journey, how much say does a surrogate have? Does she have any legal rights during her journey?
In this episode of our Misconception Series, Sunshine and Casey tackle one of the most emotionally charged myths in surrogacy—and why surrogates should absolutely feel empowered and protected within their journeys.
🎧Listen as we unpack:
📃What legal protections actually look like and ways to stay informed
🗣️How autonomy and consent are safeguarded every step of the way
✨Answers to common concerns (like, “Can IPs change their minds?” “What if something happens to them?” “Can they decide if I get an epidural?”).
And more!
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s heard “but what if you decide you want to keep the baby?” or “don’t you have to do whatever the IPs say?” and wants to set the record straight. 💪✨
