What kind of parents do you want to be? Liz puts her counsellor hat on for this episode to discuss the questions you should be asking yourselves as a couple during the surrogacy journey, prior to birth and after the birth. 

It's hard enough going through a surrogacy journey and we often forgot about "ourselves" and our partners. Having these type of conversations should be compulsory for any couple embarking on surrogacy or having a baby.

Through simple language, engaging illustrations, and relatable characters, these books help children understand how some babies are welcomed into the world with the help of a surrogate.
