Summary

Today we're joined by Olivia Maurel, who was born via surrogacy but didn't find out until much later in life. Today, she speaks out against surrogacy in all forms, claiming that there is no such thing as good surrogacy, and she shares her story with us, beginning with how she first found out the truth about her birth. She explains that she always intrinsically knew something was off, and when she came across surrogacy centers in Kentucky, where she was born, she put the pieces together. She shares her journey of struggling to find a maternal bond growing up, as well as the mental health issues she never knew were actually passed down from her biological mother, and feeling that there is a price tag on her life. We discuss the many reasons one should be opposed to surrogacy, regardless of political affiliation, and explain why despite the trauma of her experience, God is using her to reveal the truth about this sensitive topic. We also give a recap on last night's Republican primary debate and a few viral moments that came out of it. --- Timecodes: (01:25) Intro (02:30) Republican debate thoughts (16:47) Finding out about surrogacy birth (26:55) Adoption and surrogacy (32:45) Birth certificate change / DNA test (40:50) Alienated from parents (44:36) Thinking critically about surrogacy (51:05) Surrogacy laws in other countries (56:00) God is using this --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.
