My first journey, coming to a close and my thoughts written on my belly, "Surrogacy, the gift of life is a gift from God and I will forever be blessed to be part of the journey." Now that it has been 6 weeks since sweet YiAn has been born, these words still ring true!
I was sure there would be some kind of loss, but I have only gained in every sense.
When YiAn was laid skin to skin after the delivery, I was anticipating an overflow of emotion, but all I could do is look at the face of his mom and dad.Their eyes glistened with tears their face was a mixture of awe and gretfullness.They speak no English yet over and over the mother thanked me.One does not need to speak the same language to share such an intimate human experience such as life.
To know the extent YiAn's mom and dad went to have their baby boy reassures me how blessed he will be and that I made a good choice!
I don't experience any sadness wondering if he will ever know me as his surrogate mother.The opposite is the joy I feel knowing he was planned, has stable parents that will do a great job raising him, and that God has a plan for him.
