• Her friend’s story of loss and how it led her to become her surrogate.
• Their experience doing an independent match without an agency.
• The legal issues they ran into without the help of an agency (i.e. trusting someone when they said the GC and IP could share an attorney).
• The double embryo transfer and the scary situation when she started bleeding early in the pregnancy.
• How she finally found her own legal representation after 20 weeks pregnant to put together the Pre-Birth Order.
