We love sharing real stories that broaden understanding of surrogacy and the many different paths that lead people to it. In this episode of What The Nanny Heard from Your Nanny Network, Ishbel (@the_scottish_surrogate), reflects on her life after nannying and the experiences that shaped her surrogacy journey.

Ishbel is a Brilliant surrogate we are pleased to have supported, and this is a great listen. Ishbel speaks candidly about pregnancy, the influence of IVF in her life, what inspired her to become a surrogate, and the realities of navigating the UK’s outdated surrogacy laws for a surrogate in the UK. These are exactly the kinds of honest conversations that help demystify surrogacy and encourage a more informed, compassionate understanding of it – and of the women who choose to become surrogates.

At Brilliant Beginnings, we believe ethical surrogacy is built on openness, understanding and proper support for everyone involved. If you are curious about surrogacy, and what drives women to do it, this episode is well worth a listen.
