Maria and Keven's Surrogacy Journey

Ойын-сауық

Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster as Maria and Keven share their awe-inspiring "Surrogacy Journey" on this episode of Heal Squad. Joined by their surrogate couple and Stephanie Levich, from Family Match Consulting, they unravel the challenges faced in finding the perfect match in surrogacy and the crucial importance of a strong support system. Unforeseen delays and pandemic woes add unexpected twists, but the journey remains positive and rewarding as you will hear.
Tune in to witness the deep bond formed with their surrogate couple and the heartwarming, play-by-play, moments leading up to the long-awaited embryo transfer, birth week, and ultimately the welcoming of their little miracle, Athena. They discuss the aftermath, whether the surrogate will remain in touch with the baby (they will) and what other surrogates and families do. This podcast is a heartfelt celebration of love, family, and the power of surrogacy, that hopefully will shed light on the surrogacy journey while leaving you moved and inspired.

    How beautiful and wholesome to do it in an as much natural and familial way connecting the two families so that both parties heal and digest this process as much and as fast as possible. 'Karina' is the gestational carrier mum and Maria is her before and after mum.

    I was a surrogate for my cousin and her husband in 2013-2014 (for free!) I now totally get why people get paid for it. 😂 however, it was by FAR the best decision I ever made, because it gave me the courage to become a single mother by choice and I set out to find a sperm donor. The light of my life, my daughter, will now turn 9 in Sept. ❤ I’m so happy to hear your journey end well and for you to get the happiness that you deserve! Fertility issues are HARD! You’re already a superstar for making it to this point. 💕

    Is it necessary to pay money for the surrogate mother? Or its different between each country?

    The surrogate mother has medical bills and besides cares enough to give herself to bring a new life to wanting parents! We pay for so much less on this world, she is a rock star and was able to give them the biggest gift
