"It was really important to us that we had a surrogate who had been thoroughly vetted by people who were smarter than we were in that area." - Ashley Hingston

When you're navigating the deeply personal and life-changing journey of surrogacy, experience matters.

These intended parents knew they didn’t have to do it alone and chose to trust professionals who could guide them with compassion, clarity, and care every step of the way.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is ask for help.
Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is trust the process.

"It took me a while to really feel connected to my son, which is something that I think a lot of people are ashamed to say or scared to say. And I was too."

In Episode 118 of Fertility Cafe, Ashley Hingston shares the emotional reality that many intended parents experience after surrogacy.

Sometimes, the connection doesn’t happen right away.
Sometimes, it takes time to adjust to the fact that this baby is really yours.
And that is okay.

If you're not feeling what you thought you would feel right away, you are not alone. Bonding takes time. Getting to know your baby is a process, not a single moment.

Grieving the loss of carrying her own child
The complex emotions that come with trusting someone else to carry your baby
Building a meaningful, respectful relationship with her surrogate
Facing postpartum depression after delivery
And the unexpected strength she found through it all

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. It’s about understanding your body, your timeline, and your options with guidance that’s tailored to you.

“You might be functioning on the outside—showing up to work, keeping conversations light—but inside, you’re exhausted. Not just from treatment, but from trying to stay emotionally upright when the path keeps shifting.”

Fertility struggles don’t always look like struggle from the outside.

This journey is full of invisible weight—decisions, pressure, and emotional overload that no one else sees.

In Episode 117 of the Fertility Cafe Podcast, we go deeper into what support can really look like and why fertility coaching might be the missing piece you didn’t know you needed.

“I’m buying a blueprint from somebody—but I’m raising them, I’m growing them, they’re my children.” - Erica Ferraro

Parenthood isn’t about DNA—it’s about love, care, and showing up every single day.

In this episode, we explore how letting go of biology opens the heart to the deeper truth: your child is yours because you raise them, guide them, and love them. Nature may start the story, but nurture writes the rest.
