Louise Thompson and Ryan Libbey have shared a deeply emotional update on their surrogacy journey 💛

Four years after life-threatening birth trauma, Louise has revealed she can no longer carry another pregnancy. Now, after therapy, tears, difficult conversations and time, they are exploring surrogacy to grow their family.

They spoke with such honesty about:

✨ Healing from trauma
✨ The strain — and strength — within their relationship
✨ The legal and ethical realities of surrogacy
✨ The financial and emotional weight it carries
✨ And why they believe they deserve the chance to expand their family

Ryan admitted his heart wasn’t fully there at first — a powerful reminder that fertility decisions don’t always move at the same pace for both partners.

Louise also shared a message for women still navigating the aftermath of traumatic birth:

There is hope. But healing isn’t linear — and it takes time.

Surrogacy is complex. It’s emotional. It’s rarely the first choice. But for many families, it becomes the only path forward.
