Emotional Coaching & Postpartum Support for Surrogate Mothers
By Ajai Craig, MFT (Under Supervision), Former Surrogate Mother of Twins
Surrogacy is a beautiful, life-changing gift—yet it can also bring emotional moments that are rarely talked about. As a former surrogate myself, I understand firsthand how complex, emotional, and deeply human this journey can be.
Twelve years ago, I carried twins as a surrogate. What started as a joyful and purpose-driven experience later became emotionally overwhelming as my pregnancy progressed. I experienced emotional shifts, unexpected attachment feelings, and difficult moments that I did not have the language or support for at the time. After delivery, I also faced a quiet, heavy postpartum season that I didn’t fully understand. I didn’t know where to turn, how to talk about it, or how to take care of myself as I transitioned back into my own life and identity. That experience changed me. It shaped the therapist I became. And it inspired this program.
