We suggest that if the surrogate mother wants to hold the baby, there should be no reason why it wouldn’t be appropriate.For the past 9 months she has nurtured, and cared for your baby, and of course a bond has developed.Holding him is a way of completing a journey, not only for the surrogate, but for her family as well.
Going into the matching stage of the process it is vitally important to communicate your wishes around contact after, closure at the hospital, and whether or not you as parents are comfortable with your surrogate holding your child immediately, or maybe waiting until a few hours/day after birth.
Surrogacy is a relationship that is built on such an intimate level of Trust, and it is difficult to imagine how the journey will end.At CFC, we understand the steps coming before the journey starting are often filled with such emotion, and connecting with your surrogate may be difficult at times.
CFC coaches intended parents, and surrogates throughout the entire process- Ensuring that all parties are encouraged to communicate openly with the other, to ensure that when the time comes, all are ready for the big day!!!
