Surrogacy as a Family Building Option: Realities from Both the Carrier and Intended Parent Perspective - And Expert Advice

Have you considered surrogacy as family-building option? A three-episode series with Hemda Mizrahi on “Turn the Page” from June 10 through June 24 illuminates the surrogacy process—from screening and matching intended parents with surrogates, to identifying a compatible agency and developing the carrier-intended parent relationship. The series features candid stories from both the surrogate and the intended parent perspective, as well as advice from experts at Circle Surrogacy, the largest surrogacy agency in the world.

 

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2016 -- In a series of three episodes on "Turn the Page," Hemda Mizrahi offers a view into the process and realities of surrogacy as a family building option. The series launch on June 10 features Jen Rachman, an Outreach Coordinator and former client of Circle Surrogacy, the largest surrogate parenting agency in the world. Ovarian cancer, diagnosed when Jen was 26, left her infertile. As a result, she turned to surrogacy to have her now four-year-old son. Jen's guidance on navigating the surrogacy process is informed by both her personal and professional experiences.

The second episode, broadcast on June 17, presents the moving story of Jeni Denhof, a former surrogate and Program Manager with Circle Surrogacy, who gave birth to twins for a New York City couple in 2011. Her experiences, from screening and match to post delivery, are presented alongside the perspective of Praveena Nallainathan, an intended parent turned mother in 2016, whose inspiring journey was fraught by years of devastating setbacks.

In the final episode of the series, on June 24, Dean Hutchison, Esq., Circle's Director of Legal Services, addresses issues related to both domestic and international law. His and the agency's success in helping intended parents from over 70 countries is encouraging.
