Surrogacy myths and the things no one tells you, tackled with an expert agency founder
Surrogacy is an (incredible) journey often spoken about in quite practical terms. Timelines, logistics, legal steps – you name it.
But behind every step is something much bigger. And it sits at the intersection of people, emotions, relationships and decisions that shape a family for life.
In this episode, TRB Founder Eloise sits down with the lovely Naia Adamia, Founder and CEO of Be Parent, a full-service surrogacy agency who create ethical journeys that respect and honour everyone involved, to unpack the parts of surrogacy that don’t always get talked about.
Whether you’re just starting to explore surrogacy or already quite focused on choosing an agency, this conversation offers a clearer, more human view of what the journey can look like, and the kind of support that makes all the difference.
In this episode, we cover:
- What ethical surrogacy actually looks like beyond contracts and compliance – and why it matters for everyone involved
- The reality of finding and matching with a surrogate (and why it’s not always what people expect)
- The emotional highs and lows intended parents often aren’t prepared for – and how to navigate them
- What to know if your journey involves donor eggs or sperm
- Why support for surrogates shouldn’t stop at birth – and how a full journey approach changes outcomes
- The surrogacy myths and realities around bonding with baby
- Why surrogacy doesn’t “end” at birth, and how to think about the long-term picture as a family
- The biggest misconceptions people have when starting out – and what to understand instead
- What a truly inclusive, emotionally supported surrogacy journey should look like today
