All Things Conceivable: A Surrogacy Podcast

Join us for a heartwarming Mother's Day special as we honor the journeys of two extraordinary women: intended mother Jacqueline Baird and her surrogate, Maranda. For three decades, ConceiveAbilities has been privileged to contribute to the fulfillment of family dreams, and today, we spotlight Jacqueline's remarkable path to parenthood.

 

Jacqueline's journey has been one of resilience, marked by challenges, loss, and ultimately, immeasurable joy. Inspired by her experiences, she founded "Motherhood Intended," a supportive community where women can connect and share their stories. Through her raw and emotional fertility journey podcast, Jacqueline fearlessly discusses her infertility struggles, the pain of loss, and the profound moments of her surrogacy journey.

Today, on this special Mother's Day, we celebrate Jacqueline's newest role as a mother to Lorelei Rose, who has just entered the world through the beautiful gift of surrogacy. With six precious babies in her heart—sons Hunter and Noah, her cherished angels in heaven, and now Lorelei—Jacqueline's journey exemplifies the power of love, resilience, and the profound bond of motherhood. Join us in honoring these incredible women and the joy they bring to the world.

Learn more about the baby formula shortage with Lindsay Groff, executive director of HMBANA.

Most shelves have infant formula, but is the baby formula shortage really over? Market research conducted in late October showed the shortage improved with 87% of store shelves having baby formula back in stock, almost 20% more than the low of 69% at the peak of the shortage.  Yet some families are still struggling to find formula.

 

Linsday Groff first learned about becoming a milk donor from a nurse while her baby daughter was in the NICU. Lindsay decided then she would donate her surplus of breastmilk for a year to help other babies like hers. Her full circle moment came years later when she took over the helm as Executive Director of The Human Milk Banking Association of North America that believes in a world where all infants have access to human milk through support of breastfeeding and use of pasteurized donor human milk. Lindsay joined Nazca Fontes on All Things Conceivable: A Surrogacy Podcast to talk about the infant formula shortage.
