My Sister Had a Baby via Surrogate | Guide to Surrogacy

Описание: What’s it like when someone in your family has a baby through surrogacy? How do siblings, parents, and extended relatives experience the emotional highs, the questions, and the new beginnings? What are their fears and hopes?

In this heartfelt interview, I sit down with Alisa Cate, whose sister recently had a baby through gestational surrogacy due to infertility issues. We explore what it means to support a loved one through a non-traditional path to parenthood—and how it reshapes family dynamics, understanding, and connection. Also, what goes through your mind when your sister then helps another family by becoming a known egg donor (KED)? Hear about the very specific social experiment she took part in to understand if babies born via surrogacy are different.

In this episode, Alisa shares:

What it was like when she first learned about the decision to use a surrogate

How she processed the journey—from embryo transfer to birth

The emotional impact of watching their sister become a mum with the help of another woman

How surrogacy challenged and deepened her views on parenting, fertility, and family

Why conversations around surrogacy need to include the voices of siblings, grandparents, and extended family

The very specific social experiment she performed to understand if a baby born via surrogacy is different

How does it feel to know her family DNA is now being shared with others via KED?

Whether you're:

An intended parent wondering how your family might respond
A surrogate curious about the wider ripple effects of your gift
A family member supporting a loved one through surrogacy
Or just interested in how modern families are built today...

...this intimate, honest conversation brings a fresh and deeply human perspective to the surrogacy journey.
