Tomorrow, I'm being induced. I'm currently 40 weeks pregnant with this wonderful little one, and I can't wait to complete my dream of being a surrogate and the dreams of the intended parents to welcome a little boy into their family. I can't believe it's almost over. I'm nervous and excited and if I had been asked a year or two ago if I thought this would all have really been able to happen, I don't think I was so confident. The Universe provides the experiences we fight to have. I can't be more grateful for the beautiful match I was able to find through this site and I'm thankful for how easy this journey has been. From the first contact to even now - as we're counting down hours until little one is born - everything has just felt right. My belly is stretched out and large and I'm so tired, haha, but I will treasure this experience. I think what has hit me most is just the stories that I've heard from those suffering infertility. As a surrogate, even when people have assumed at first that in carrying my own, people become so open about their struggles. Infertility is much more common than I even would have thought prior to this experience. The stories are heartbreaking, and some are much closer to home than I'd ever realized. In fact, one of my good friends has suffered from infertility - a struggle none of our group knew about until embarking on this journey. It's hard to talk about. Painful. And so common. The desire to become a family is such a deep rooted one. I've been fortunate; I have my two littles and didn't have to feel the stresses of infertility. And what I've encountered through these conversations from being a surrogate, it isn't even the need for a biological child - but just to be a mother or a father and just have the warm-hearted laughter of a child filling a house. Adoption would be an option even, but the process is often frought with rejection and failure. A system full of children who need homes and a world full of people who would treasure them, and it is made so difficult. Surrogacy isn't easy either, but it is easier than adoption. It's an interesting observation, I think. More has to be done. More conversations about infertility have to happen. This isn't a lone struggle where it's an unfortunate few who are hurting. This is something that could eventually be an issue for anyone - or someone any of us know and love. Anyway, tomorrow this journey is complete. I feel so fortunate for all of what I've gotten to experience. I hope in the future to do this again (but I also hope to fit back in my normal parts for a little while before settling on that, haha).

I suppose I want this for a few reasons. I don't desire more children of my own, but pregnancy and labor were very easy for me. I had both of my children naturally, and recovered without any issue. Fr ... See Profile
