The Georgian Surrogacy Podcast

The Georgian Surrogacy Podcast

The Georgian Surrogacy Podcast is created and hosted by two Australian Mum’s who navigated the complicated world of doing surrogacy in Tbilisi, Georgia. Created to offer information, support, and their own experiences; Season 1 covered different stages, options, tips, information and processes to navigate through the world of international surrogacy in the wonderful country of Georgia. Season 2 will have chats with Coordinators, Embryologists, Doctors, Legal and Parents that are/have gone through the journey. Liz Tripodi is a multi award winning Business woman, Vocal Coach, and Entertainer who had been on the road to parenting for 13 years before the safe arrival of twin girls in 2020 in Georgia. Liz has joined the team at Chachava in Georgia as an International Coordinator in 2024. Anita Fiorenza is a trained medical professional with years of experience as well as a small business owner. Her journey to surrogacy was a tough 10 year battle before the safe arrival of her daughter in Georgia in 2020. She has been a part of the team at Growing Families as the Global Support Coordinator since 2023. Anita and Liz came together via social media and an instant bond was formed via their experiences and cultural backgrounds. Through the highs and lows, they’ve been with each other through the birth of their children, navigating a complex country, international laws and the process of getting home. Their friendship and bond is forever after the experiences they’ve shared.
