The Surrogacy Podcast Episode 14: Henry and Lisa Henry and Lisa suffered with infertility and turned to surrogacy to grow their family. Henry and Lisa are well-known in the surrogacy community, both for their support of other intended parents and surrogates, but also for their senses of humour. In this episode, we chat about the upcoming birth of their baby, conceived through egg donation and surrogacy, and how they’ve traversed the infertility terrain.
You can also listen to their surrogate, Emmy’s story, in Episode 31.
Henry and Lisa returned to the Podcast for episode 69 to share an update on their life with their son, post-surrogacy.
