Welcome to The SJ Conversations for the Australian Surrogacy Podcast, with surrogate and lawyer Sarah Jefford and parent-via-surrogacy and psychologist Sarah-Jayne Duryea.  Join the SJs for an in-depth conversation about surrogacy, what to expect and how to manage the challenges and highlights of a surrogacy arrangement.

In Episode One of the SJ Conversations, we talked about the pre-surrogacy processes and how surrogacy teams can prepare for a positive experience and to manage the challenges during surrogacy and beyond.

Stay tuned for more episodes of the SJ Conversations, where we’re going to talk about relationships, pregnancy and birth and post-partum experiences for surrogates and intended parents.
