Cathleen McKenzie was born and raised in a small town in New Brunswick, Canada where she went to school and college. She has carried 4 surrobabies to date and is currently preparing to carry another! Listen as Cathleen discusses: • Her experience as a teen mother and her inspiration to become a surrogate. • How surrogacy works in Canada, including a very different legal landscape from the US. • Being a traditional surrogate and doing an at home insemination. • The snags with doing traditional surrogacy in Canada where compensation is illegal — including a lack of resources like agencies and clinics. • The dramatic story when things took a turn for the worse with her intended parents. • The intended parents deciding they didn’t want the twin babies anymore around 30 weeks and what she was left to do. • Her advice to others wanting to be surrogates in Canada — how to protect yourself and the children. • How her surrogacy experiences went after the first traumatic one and about her incredible future plans.
