lets talk surrogacy!
Surrogacy can easily be controversial topic. let’s talk about the basics of the process! I got into surrogacy because it is something I knew I always wanted to do. having family members who have struggled with infertility I always wanted to give another family the opportunity to be parents. I always wanted to be a mom more than anything else and to be able to help someone else achieve that dream means so much to me. there is two Different types of surrogacy which is traditional and gestational. the most common in the US is gestational, this means the surrogate has no biological relationship to the baby. parents create embryos and then transfer them into the gestational surrogate. before getting to this point there is a lot a women needs to go through to be cleared. first your records get reviewed and you need to meet all the basic requirements. once this is done you match with a couple. the next step is a medical clearance where you need approval from the IVF doctor at the couples clinic. after you get cleared you do legal contracts. once you finish legal you start meds and prepare for transfer! of course there is a lot more info to all of this but this is the basics. this can be a long process and some journeys are longer and harder then others but from a surrogate prospective it is worth every second. the hard, emotional, painful, happy, exciting, and every emotion in-between is worth it. the bond you create with the intended parents and the joy you bring to a family is honestly the most amazing experience ever. I never once questioned why I did it and I hoped I could do it many more times. I never felt taken advantage of and I absolutely loved every second of it. I never went into it wanting a baby and I was never sad to hand them over. it is just like babysitting and you are so happy to give the baby back to its parents! I definitely feel like this was my calling and I can’t wait to help another family! I would like to give a huge shoutout to my amazing agency who never gave up on me and who have been the best support throughout my entire surrogacy journey, family choice surrogacy out of fisher Indiana. if you are interested in being a surrogate and helping grow a family please visit the website below!
