This episode is poignant to me because it’s something we looked into.  There are all sorts of reasons couples look at surrogacy and there are also different types of surrogacy.  And this will all be explained! I’ll be chatting to Natalie Gamble from NGA Law who will talk us through the details and legalities of surrogacy arrangements in this country and abroad, Stephen Ashe who is client manager for those who are hoping to find a surrogate to have a baby - who you will hear a lot called intended parents - and he works for the non-profit service Brilliant Beginnings. Other services are available including Surrogacy UK and COTS.  I should say Stephen and his partner started their family with a surrogate, so he really does have first-hand knowledge.  And I’m delighted to say joining the conversation Teresa Cootes - a surrogate mum herself.  So all angles covered here today!
