A comprehensive guide to parenthood through third-party reproduction
Written by Diana Olmeda, founder of Surrogate Alternatives, Inc. (SAI), this book offers a clear, experience-based perspective on the surrogacy journey from someone who has lived it.
“For any Intended Parents looking to expand their family, this book will help ease fears and provide clarity along the way.”
After more than two decades in surrogacy, Diana saw the same questions, fears, and uncertainties come up again and again for intended parents and surrogates.
This book was created to provide a clear, honest guide grounded in real experience. It reflects not only the process, but the emotional, legal, and practical realities of the surrogacy journey.
The goal is simple: to help people move forward with confidence, clarity, and the right expectations.
