Listen to Dawn as she discusses with Ellen and Jennifer:
-How her 5 years of struggling with secondary infertility led her from being an investor of a surrogacy agency to eventually running a surrogacy agency.
-The shocking and tragic case of international Intended Parents being denied travel visas to get to their baby’s birth.
-The repeated visa denials leading to the parents not only missing the birth but to Dawn taking care of the surrogate baby for 10 weeks!
-The efforts and drama to reach reunification.
-Her second experience with Intended Parents separated from their babies and taking care of them (yes THEM…TWINS!).
-Her advice to International Parents when doing surrogacy to prevent this from happening — or at least help put safeguards in place to help.
