Surrogacy family building – navigating emotions & building bonds
Powered by RedCircle
We lift the lid on the emotional effects of surrogacy (& much more)
Surrogacy is often spoken about in terms of milestones — matching, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and birth.
But behind every stage lies something equally important: the emotional journey that unfolds between intended parents, surrogates, and the teams supporting them.
In this episode, TRB Founder Eloise sits down with Samantha Stacks, Intake Manager in the Surrogacy Department at ACRC Global. Samantha works at the very beginning of many surrogacy journeys, guiding families and surrogates through the early stages of connection, trust-building, and preparation.
Together, they explore the emotional realities of surrogacy, from the vulnerability of waiting periods to the unexpected depth of relationships that develop along the way.
Listen as we unpack:
- The emotional moments people tend to underestimate when they first consider surrogacy
- What makes a connection feel “right,” and how emotions might show up on both sides in those first conversations
- How bonding is approached at ACRC Global on the intended parent side
- The emotional transfer’ in surrogacy, and when that happens
- The inner world of a surrogate, and how ACRC Global stays mindful of this
- Extended emotional support for intended parents or surrogates, including counselling and support groups
- Key takeaways on trust, connection and the bonds that form in unexpected ways
