Considering surrogacy or supporting someone who is? In this expert-led episode of Building Your Family, I sit down with one of the country’s top surrogacy specialists, Dr. Susanna Park, to get answers to the questions intended parents ask most.
Dr. Park sees hundreds of surrogacy cases each year and brings clarity to some of the most important (and often misunderstood) parts of the process. We discuss:
🔹 Why using a surrogacy agency may be safer than going independent 🔹 Key medical issues when screening a surrogate 🔹 What can — and can’t — be medically corrected 🔹 Why BMI matters more than people realize 🔹 Twin pregnancies and what hopeful parents often get wrong
Whether you're just beginning your surrogacy journey or supporting someone else through it, this episode is your go-to expert guide.
