22.01.2022 I had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah Jefford, Family & Surrogacy Lawyer and creator of The Surrogacy Podcast about my Surrogacy journey with Jon & Justin! Thanks for having me Sarah - love your work! #surrogacy #labouroflove
22.01.2022 You know a good read when you've finished a book 2 weeks ago and you're still thinking about it! This fictional tale of an Australian couple and their surrogacy journey in Thailand was beautifully written, confronting at times and filled with rich and complex characters. I had a soft spot for the surrogate in this book... brought back many memories! #motherofpearl #angelafranklin
