Warsavsky, 35, tells TODAY.com she's experienced about 10 pregnancy losses over the years. When it came to trying to have a third child, she and her husband eventually turned to surrogacy, something they had considered for years.

For the past 15 years, the BioRescue Project an international consortium dedicated to saving the species has been collecting and preserving sperm from deceased males. Using this genetic material and egg cells from Fatu, they've created 38 embryos. It may sound like a lot, but it's not. Since Najin and Fatu cannot carry a pregnancy, surrogate mothers are essential and it was decided to use southern white rhinos, a less endangered subspecies.
That instinct to nurture stuck with me. At 10 years old, I was constantly pestering the neighbor in our New Rochelle apartment building to let me feed her new baby. She probably thought I was crazy, but she let me, and I loved it.

New reporting from Wired details the explosively acrimonious fallout of a deal gone horribly wrong, between a San Francisco venture capitalist and a single mother she engaged to be a pregnancy surrogate. The story, which has gone viral on social media, centers on an ambitious and exacting venture capitalist, Cindy Bi, and a woman referred to in the story as Rebecca Smith, a pseudonym to protect her privacy, who agreed to be a surrogate for Bi and her husband.
First, there's the confidentiality clause. When Bi, a venture capitalist who claims to have invested in a dozen unicorns, hired a surrogate to carry her only male embryo in 2023, both parties agreed to keep the details private and away from the media. Then there's the restraining order against Bi, followed by a court-ordered agreement saying she would not so much as mention the "surrogate" involved in Baby Leon's stillbirth.
Much has changed since Kim Cotton became the UK's first surrogate 40 years ago, when she was forced to flee hospital on the floor of a car under a blanket, such was the level of media frenzy around her story.

It wasn't the right way to do surrogacy, but it was the only thing that was offered, she says.
Researchers found that surrogates have a greater chance of being diagnosed with a mental illness during and after pregnancy compared to women carrying their own offspring.
