“You can get past it. Like right now, I'm 10 weeks pregnant. It's for a heterosexual couple that lives in a different state in the United States. And they've tried to get pregnant on their own for like 12 years. So like, this is their first ever positive pregnancy and they have fears. And so I'm able to kind of help them walk through their fear. And so they have to give up a lot of those fears and worries to be able to even allow someone else to carry their child. So I feel incredibly honored, but that's, that's my story.”
