This morning began like any other for Bianca Dye.
The co-host of Brisbane’s hit radio station 97.3 turned up to work well before most of us had been awakened by our impatient alarms, and was informed her team would be interviewing a woman named Kirsty about the subject of surrogacy.
The topic itself aroused some anxiety within Dye.
In early May, Dye wrote a letter to her unborn embryo for Mamamia, which she read live on radio at the time.

“I’m sorry I left you there all alone, I’m sorry I haven’t been back to get you yet…
“It took so much to get you, so much and then I just left you. I want you to know that I haven’t stopped thinking about you, I think about you every day,” she wrote.
“I do need to tell you a few things first though; for starters things fell apart with your dad, we didn’t make it, we tried so hard and I still love him so much but if I do come for you, I’ll be alone; I hope you’ll be okay with that?”
Dye has undergone five years of IVF, and is currently 43 years old.
