Our Anita joined The Home of Fertility Podcast last week to share honest insights from both her professional experience supporting intended parents worldwide and her own personal surrogacy journey.

It was a valuable conversation about what international surrogacy actually feels like in real life. Beyond the logistics, Anita spoke about the emotional side of the process, which intended parents are often not fully prepared for... the uncertainty, the waiting, and the reality that every journey unfolds differently.

There’s no single way to approach surrogacy.

Decisions are often influenced by:

- personal values
- cultural perspectives
- and individual circumstances

What feels right for one person may not feel right for another. And that’s part of what makes this space so complex.

We’ll be at the SEEDS Conference, engaging in conversations that explore these nuances more deeply.

We’ll be at the SEEDS Spring 2026 Conference next weekend, sharing insights and continuing to learn from others working closely with these realities every day.

More intended parents are turning to AI tools to explore surrogacy. Not just to understand the basics, but to:

- compare countries
- assess timelines and costs
- and even identify “best” options early on

It can make the process feel clearer and more structured from the outset. But surrogacy doesn’t always fit neatly into comparisons or summaries. There are layers of legal nuance, personal circumstances and real-world variability that aren’t always captured in a single answer.

If you're planning a surrogacy journey, join our national conference in Sydney this July! Be guided by people with first-hand experience who can help you go beyond AI and online research and explain to you how the process actually works and what to expect at each step.

The world around surrogacy is changing quickly.

New technologies, shifting regulations, and growing demand are all shaping how journeys begin and unfold.

This creates both new possibilities and new considerations.

Staying close to these developments is important, especially in a space where decisions carry long-term impact.

We will be at the SEEDS Spring Conference this month, taking part in discussions around how these changes are playing out in practice.

Sam will be sharing his perspectives on how artificial intelligence can both support and complicate decision-making in surrogacy and where human context becomes essential.

Perfection isn't the standard--growth is. No surrogacy provider is immune to sudden changes in surrogacy laws. But great ones communicate honestly, adapt when things go wrong, and never stop striving to do better. That's what our verification process is really looking for.
