Focus on Surrogacy is a series where two surrogacy professionals with added personal experience react to surrogacy stories in entertainment, news, documentaries, and more.
For our fifth episode and last part in a sequence, we react to “The One With Joey’s Porsche” and “The One Where Ross Is Fine” two Friends episodes where the character Phoebe sees the triplets at 9 months and 4 years old.
We react and discuss issues such as familial surrogates helping the parents after birth, surrogates get to relax and recover after birth, surrogates that live close can be involved with children, parent’s excitement after birth, challenges of multiples, revisiting surrogate parenting a surrogate child, how surrogate children understand their birth story and how parents can address it before hand, being honest with your children about their origin story, and donor situations.
