We are so grateful for Erin Andrews and Kristen Welker for opening up about their own fertility struggles which led them to work with a gestational carrier to have their families. Honest stories such as Erin's about first freezing her eggs are so important for people to hear. We are not alone.

“If I had known ... I would have done it. But it wasn’t talked about as much."

Families are created in a number of ways, and sharing a child's origin story with them from birth is recommended so there is never a moment of not knowing. In our ABCs of Gestational Surrogacy series, "K" is for "Kangaroo Pouch" and "The Very Kind Koala" - two children's books to help kids understand family building through gestational surrogacy. Gestational carriers are angels (and in this case kangaroos 🦘and koalas🐨) helping out another family.
