Why Be A Surrogate?
by: Wendy

 



I have the two most beautiful, most intelligent, most well-behaved children in the world (yes I am biased). Two gifts given to me by God. My children are my heart, my soul, my very being. My son and daughter are foremost in my thoughts with every decision I make. I spend every extra penny on them, all my extra time with them, plan events around them and always focus on their needs first. I am not super woman, I am only an average mom. This is what we all do for our precious little ones. After all, children really do melt your heart. Remember the first time your baby smiled, said ma-ma, crawled, walked, made a friend..... Those are special moments you will always cherish. Those were moments when you cried tears of happiness and felt deeply and totally in love. Those were moments when the universe seemed right.

Now imagine never being able to have a child. Imagine infertility. What if your precious bundle eluded you at every turn? Month after month you tried to get pregnant with no success, only to spend many years and a great deal of money on heartache. Imagine being able to get pregnant with ease, but never being able to carry your baby. Knowing with every positive pregnancy test, that you will probably face another heart-wrenching miscarriage. Why do I want you to think about this sadness? Because for some, kind, loving, caring people this is reality.

I know I would be lost without my children. My world would be shattered. I am one of the lucky ones. Conception is easy and pregnancy is successful. I have decided to help a less fortunate couple who longs for a child. I am going to be a surrogate mother. I am going to give a dedicated, sincere, passionate couple their dream. I will fill their home with joy, laughter and the sounds of playing children. I will hold their little embryo deep inside my body, nourish it, warm it and keep it safe for nine months. I will sing to it, rock it, read to it and feel it move. I will love the gift I am giving, but not like my own children. It is a spiritual love that will heal a family full of pain. I feel so special to be trusted with such a precious cargo. I am overwhelmed by the fact that I can give a gift so wanted, so appreciated and so loved to such a deserving couple. I look forward to the day their baby arrives safe in their arms, melting away years of heartbreak and pain. I want to see their tears of joy as they hold their baby for the first time. My gift is such a small sacrifice from me and yet it will bring years of happiness to a deserving family.

Too many people hear negative stories about surrogacy, I want everyone to know the fabulous, extraordinary, extremely positive side of surrogacy. The miracle of a child is given to an infertile couple.
