Barette was first inspired to become a surrogate in 2014 after witnessing close friends struggle with infertility. Deeply moved by their journey, she stepped in to help—and the experience was so meaningful that she chose to be a surrogate again in 2019.

Passionate about the impact of surrogacy, Barette now dedicates her time to educating others and sharing how this journey can transform lives. She’s known for openly speaking with women about the incredible difference surrogacy can make—not just for intended parents, but for surrogates themselves.
