Episode 10: Black Surrogacy- Redefining the Norms Surrogacy first went public in the US during the late 1970's. The surrogacy didn’t involve a financial compensation, otherwise known as traditional surrogacy. A team made up of Noel Keane and Dr. Ringold introduced the first surrogacy clinic — Infertility Center — making history with artificial insemination. Surrogate pregnancies have doubled since 2015. We most often hear of other ethnicities becoming surrogates, and seldom in the AA community (not that it doesn’t happen). Why is that?!? Most recently, Kim Kardashian delivered her third child, via a (young) Black woman surrogate. Today’s topic will discuss about what it means to be an African-American surrogate and it’s perception within our community.   Guest Momologist: Michelle Whitaker is a 29 year old wife, mom, and YouTube content creator who loves all things creative. Michelle’s YouTube channel documents her family’s homeschooling journey and her road to becoming a surrogate mother. Michelle has been married to her amazing wife for 8 years and they have a 7 year old daughter. When Michelle is not creating content for YouTube, she enjoys reading, self-care, planning and spending time with family.

A discussion on the high cost of fertility treatments, success rates, and the controversial practice of creating embryos with genetic material from two mothers and one father. Guest: Dr. Sherman Silber, director of the Infertility Center of St. Louis Editor's note: Since the recording of this episode, the world's first baby has reportedly been born from an embryo containing genetic material from two mothers and one father. The fertility procedure, banned in the U.S., was performed in Mexico. Mitochondria from the mother's egg was replaced by that part of a donor woman's egg to prevent the baby from inheriting a fatal disease.
