Los Angeles Surrogacy Center Founder Dawn Marmorstein's “ABCs of Surrogacy” BlogTalkRadio.com Program Hits 10,000 Listens since First Airing in July 2013

LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) March 09, 2014

“The ABCs of Surrogacy,” a weekly online radio program on blogtalkradio.com that provides a comprehensive overview on every aspect of surrogacy, pregnancy and baby related topics using the expertise of industry professionals, has had 10,000 listens since the show’s debut in July 2013.

The ongoing series, created and hosted by Dawn Marmorstein, founder of Los Angeles Surrogacy Center, is designed to educate future recipient parents, surrogate mothers, and anyone interested in the surrogacy process on the multiple components, which comprise a surrogate journey. Marmorstein explained, “I created ABCs Of Surrogacy because the Internet really lacks good solid information on surrogacy. Most of the message boards and websites, which are supposed to educate those who are interested in surrogacy, are not written or moderated by anyone who is an actual industry professional, and often contain a lot of misinformation on how the surrogacy process works, which puts recipient parents and surrogates at risk – medically, legally and financially – when they receive inaccurate information about the surrogacy process."

She said that the “ABCs Of Surrogacy” has also successfully bridged the gap between pregnancy and baby experts, who often distance themselves from third party reproduction by having them as guests on her show to give advice on pregnancy and baby related topics. Her program attracts listeners who are both interested in surrogacy, as well as topics which are of interest to any parent or parent to be. And her large listener base has grown completely organically. “We haven’t done any advertising for the show. Its all been through word of mouth and social media, so I am beyond excited by numbers and the future of the show. Our new “ABCs Of Surrogacy” website, http://www.abcsofsurrogacy.com, is also seeing an increased, steady flow of traffic from those seeking accurate information about surrogacy, pregnancy and baby,” she added.

The “ABCs of Surrogacy” radio show has a Facebook page with more than 900 likes, she said, which is growing weekly.

Upcoming episodes include legal professionals, cloth diapering experts, home birthing using midwives and doulas, fertility issues, egg freezing, and other topics.

“The ABCS of Surrogacy” blogtalkradio.com program can be heard live on Wednesdays at 10:00 pm EDT (7:00 pm PDT) or via podcast anytime on http://www.blogtalkradio.com. There are nearly 30 episodes of previous broadcasts available on demand.
