From Intended Parent to Brownstone Surrogacy Founder: Jarret Zafran on Making Surrogacy Personal and Professional

This week on Infertile AF, Ali sits down with Jarret Zafran, Founder and Executive Director of Brownstone Surrogacy, whose path into the surrogacy world started not as an agency owner, but as an intended parent himself.Jarret shares his personal journey to fatherhood through surrogacy and how experiencing the process firsthand ultimately inspired him to create Brownstone Surrogacy. He talks about meeting his husband, what it feels like to be an intended parent, the highs, the uncertainty and the enormous amount of trust involved, and how those experiences shaped the kind of agency he wanted to build.Ali and Jarret get into what intended parents should know before pursuing surrogacy, how the donor and surrogacy process really works, the importance of the relationship between intended parents and surrogates, and why having been on the other side of the process influences the way Jarret approaches his work today.For more, go to www.brownstonesurrogacy.comEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.Stay tuned for Petri Dish Princess, book #4, coming this fall!EXTEND FERTILITYExtend Fertility is a leading fertility clinic helping people take control of their reproductive futures through egg freezing, embryo freezing, IVF, and more.
