About this episode

This week on Pride, we explore the profound journey of surrogacy through the inspiring story of Zarah Hilliard, a young queer mom and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Zarah shares her experiences as she embarks on her second surrogacy journey, helping same-sex couples start families. We also hear from Daryl and Randall, two dads who worked with Zarah to bring their son Caleb into the world. This episode highlights the significance of Surrogacy Awareness Month, the enduring bonds formed through surrogacy, and the power of human connection, support systems, and the diverse paths to parenthood within the LGBTQ+ community. So join us to celebrate the gift of life and the endless forms of family and love.
