Episode 40: The Partner’s Perspective — Jade and Jahmaya

Gestational surrogacy is a journey not just for the gestational carrier but for her family too! Jade and Jahmaya share their story, including the often over-looked perspective of the partner of a gestational carrier.

Listen to Jade and Jahmaya as they discuss:
-How Jade became interested in becoming a gestational surrogate.
-What Jahmaya’s fears and hesitations were when Jade told him she wanted to become a GC.
-What changed his mind a year later.
-The surrogacy screening process — from the GC side and the partner side.
-The shots, the hormones, the psych exam — what it was like for both of them.
-Dealing with the side effects to their sex life (or rather, lack thereof!).
-The reaction of their families.
-How the matching process went and what their relationship with the intended parents was like.
-The labor and the heartwarming birth experience.
