Post on Social Media*
Share about surrogacy at least twice a week with your dedicated referral link.
Spread the Word
Talk to friends, family, and your wider network, whether that’s in person, online.
Get Creative
From local groups to shouting it from a mountain top, the more people you reach, the better.
