The Surrogacy Podcast Episode 3: Troy. In this episode, I interviewed my partner, Troy, about his experience being a surrogate’s partner. I was often asked what Troy thought of surrogacy, and of me being a surrogate, so I thought it would be good to hear from Troy himself.

I am a surrogate and a surrogacy lawyer living in Melbourne with my partner and our two children. I’ve been an egg donor, and  in 2015 I decided to become a surrogate. In January 2018 I gave birth to a baby girl, Darcey, for her two dads Mike and Nate (episode 2). You can also read more about me.

As a surrogate’s partner, Troy was along for the surrogacy ride as much as being my support and my cheer squad. The partners are vital for a good surrogacy relationship and are as important as every other member of the team.

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.

You might be interested in my interview with surrogate partner Danny, who is also the partner of a surrogate, and about the importance of surrogates having the support of our partners. Other surrogate partner episodes on the Podcast include Loz, and Simon.
