About Families Through Surrogacy
Created by a mum who’s been in your shoes.
International surrogacy can be incredibly rewarding - and seriously overwhelming. Between navigating what applications need to be submitted, tracking down documents, and deciphering conflicting advice, it can feel like you’re figuring it all out alone.
Families Through Surrogacy was created by an Aussie mum who’s lived that journey twice. This platform was born from real experience, with one clear goal:
to make the surrogacy process less stressful and more supported for Australian intended parents.
Whether you’re exploring your options or packing to bring baby home, we’re here with trusted tools, up-to-date info, and the kind of guidance you wish someone had handed you on day one.
Meet the author
Hi, I’m Nicole the mum behind Families Through Surrogacy and I’ve been exactly where you are.
I became a parent through international surrogacy not once, but twice. And while both journeys were beautiful, they weren’t easy.
Like many intended parents, I found myself trawling through forums, copying embassy advice into notebooks, and second-guessing every step. It was overwhelming, sometimes lonely, and frankly, exhausting.
With over 20 years’ experience as a professional copywriter and more than a decade in strategic marketing, I decided it was time to create the resource I had wished for.
