“What Happens When Surrogacy Makes The Headlines?
What does ethical surrogacy actually look like, especially when something goes wrong?
Recent conversations surrounding the Baby Rumi case have raised difficult questions about surrogacy: Who protects the surrogate? Who protects the intended parents? And what happens when people disagree after a pregnancy has already begun?
In this episode of Create A Happy Family, Whitney is joined by Katy Encalade, President and CEO of Egg Donor and Surrogate Solutions, and Crystal Chiang, Vice President of Surrogacy Program and Client Content Development.
But before leading and supporting families through surrogacy professionally, Katy was a surrogate herself, and Crystal built her own family as an intended parent through surrogacy.
Together, they move beyond one headline to explore what ethical surrogacy looks like in practice, and the safeguards that should be in place before a journey ever begins.
Because ethical surrogacy isn’t defined by what happens when everything goes according to plan. It’s revealed in what happens when it doesn’t.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What ethical surrogacy actually means
- Thoughtful matching and hard conversations before pregnancy
- Surrogate autonomy and intended parent rights
- Independent legal counsel, screening, and professional support
- What happens when surrogates and intended parents disagree
- The role of an agency when a journey becomes complicated
- Red flags to look for when choosing a surrogacy agency
