Elusive Mommyhood: Ginanne Brownell on Fertility, Surrogacy, and Advocacy

In this compelling episode of Friends with Fertility, we’re joined by Ginanne Brownell, an award-winning journalist, author, and powerful voice in the fertility and family-building space. With over 30 years of experience reporting across 45 countries and a portfolio that includes The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and more, Ginanne brings her storytelling brilliance to a deeply personal and investigative new work: Elusive Mommyhood: An Investigative Reporter’s Personal Journey into IVF and Surrogacy (coming February 2025).

Blending memoir with investigative journalism, Ginanne explores the emotional, ethical, and legal complexities of infertility and assisted reproduction, challenging societal perceptions of motherhood and advocating for meaningful reforms. She shares her own path to parenthood through surrogacy, as well as her work as Communications and Research Director for the Michigan Fertility Alliance, where she helped champion The Michigan Family Protection Act—landmark legislation ensuring protections for families formed through assisted reproductive technologies.

Ginanne also discusses her role in launching State Strong, a national coalition advancing fertility healthcare and family-building rights across the U.S.

Tune in for a powerful, perspective-shifting conversation about motherhood, advocacy, and what it means to fight for a future where all families are seen, supported, and protected.
