Episode 42 of the Australian Surrogacy Podcast: Bree.
Bree was a gestational surrogate, delivering baby Haesel in 2017 for her dads. This year, Bree is attempting to fall pregnant as a traditional surrogate for the same parents.
Bree’s intended parents live interstate, so there’s been some challenges for the team to support each other. Bree also provides some insight into why a surrogate might make the switch from gestational surrogacy to traditional surrogacy.
