Episode 22: Surrogacy With A Big Heart with Jessica Butcher + Amanda Konko

So you're not getting pregnant on your own. And IVF isn't working either. You can make an embryo, but it just won't stick. Enter the world of surrogacy––the Wild West of Surrogacy more like. Jessica Butcher was in this spot, and for whatever reason (and by "whatever" we mean many reasons), the traditional surrogacy agency route just didn't feel right. Whether it was the the lack of transparency, the time everything took to maybe possibly be semi-satisfied with the potential surrogate who would hopefully be growing your baby safely in her uterus...it was just not for her.

Enter Amanda Konko. As a surrogate, she felt the same on the other side of the equation. It just didn't feel right either!

Through their own journey as the intended parent and surrogate, Jessica and Amanda realized it could be so much better, this surrogacy thing. Personal, no middleman or coordinator, complete transparency throughout, and an emphasis on absolute alignment between the intended parent and surrogate so that the process can feel like a team effort rather than what can end up feeling...sterile. And what did they do? They founded an independent surrogacy agency around all of it: Little Seed Match!
