Lara

Lara gave birth only three weeks before this interview, so she was in the thick of birth recovery and the fourth trimester. We talked about what it feels like to give away a baby, even when you are giving it to family and know that you'll be part of their lives forever. We haven't had many stories of sisters carrying for siblings, so it is really nice to hear from someone who chose to do so. This is such a heartwarming and lovely episode, and Lara was generous to give me her time only three weeks post-partum. But, as you'll hear, she's doing really well and even surprised herself with how smoothly the post-birth period has been going for her.
