Taking Care of Your Emotional Well-Being During a Surrogacy Journey.

Jen Rachman, LCSW is the Manager of Intended Parent Support at @circlesurrogacy Jen's surrogacy journey started at age 26 with a cancer diagnosis.

"I wasn't prepared to navigate the challenges of cancer AND the infertility that came with it. After years of coming to accept that I would need help to build our family, I drew upon support around me through family/peer support and therapy. My son was born through egg donation and surrogacy, which is what led me here to work in this field, supporting other intended parents on their road to parenthood."

In this clip, Jen shares how a surrogacy journey can be long, exhausting, overwhelming, and unpredictable. Prioritizing your well-being is essential. (AD)
