Birth As We Know It ™️-Birth Stories and Experiences

Send Kiona a Text Message!

In this episode, I had the amazing honor of interviewing both Krista, the intended parent, and Katie, the gestational carrier, for baby Arcadia. Krista and Katie talk about what led them both separately to surrogacy and how and when they met each other in that process. They also talk about how postpartum has been for each of them individually since Krista induced lactation to be able to breastfeed and Krista hindered lactation.
