In this week's episode Anna is joined by two other intended parents, Sophie Beresiner and Sophie Smith. The three have an open and honest conversation about why they chose to do surrogacy and what are their biggest learnings from their experiences. Sophie Beresiner, writer of the award-winning Sunday Times column, The Mother Project, was left with no function in her ovaries after chemotherapy. Her and her husband, then embarked on surrogacy, firstly in the States, before having their much longed-for baby via a UK surrogate.
Sophie Smith and her husband had their baby via surrogacy after Sophie suffered seven heartbreaking miscarriages . She went through five miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies that required both of her fallopian tubes to be removed - leaving Sophie unable to have children of her own. Sophie's best friend offered to be their surrogate and had their son, Theo, two years ago.
