Welcome to the Australian Surrogacy Podcast, sharing stories from intended parents and surrogates from around Australia. You can scroll through, or search for episodes based on particular topics or keywords in the drop down menus below.
If you would like to find out more about surrogacy and donor conception in Australia, be sure to download the Surrogacy Handbook and check out the Blog for more information. If you have any feedback about the Australian Surrogacy Podcast, or requests for particular topics or interviews, you can get in touch with me.
I have written a book, More Than Just a Baby: A Guide to Surrogacy for Intended Parents and Surrogates, which is the only guide to surrogacy in Australia, and which you can purchase in hard copy or download to your device.
