44 - Sarah Megginson: My Surrogate Journey.

Today Sarah Megginson returns to the podcast to speak with Jody about her decision to be a surrogate for her friend Lisa Messenger. Sarah had given birth to three healthy children of her own and at the same time had watched Lisa and her partner go through many years of failed IVF attempts.One day she asked LIsa if she would be open to her being a surrogate. That was nearly two years ago and Lisa and her partner now have a healthy little boy called Hugo.Jody and Sarah speak in depth about what a woman needs to take into account if she is thinking of becoming a surrogate for a friend or a family member. We speak about the laws in Australia and how it is illegal to be paid a fee to carry another woman's child here. Sarah describes her experience of needing to change Hugo's birth certificate after the birth and the time it took for him to legally be recognised as Lisa and Steven's children.In this conversation we cover the IVF process and how the surrogacy journey took around 2 years from start to finish. Links:Purchase The Book - The Power of Twohttps://publishing.hardiegrant.com/en-au/books/the-power-of-two-by-lisa-messenger/9780645869019"Send us a message"Connect:Website • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/Gather • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/gatherInstagram • https://instagram.com/jodyvassallobeautifulfoodNewsletter • https://jodyvassallo.substack.com/Contact • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/contactSupport the Show:Leave a review on Apple • https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/changing-seasons-podcast/id1757970211Credits:Host: Jody VassalloProduction: Sovereign Creator • https://sovereigncreator.io© Changing Seasons.
