My Journey Through Surrogacy

Names have been changed to protect anonymity.

First let me give you a little bit of background into why I chose to do surrogacy.

First of all, I was adopted as a baby. My biological mother gave me up to my adoptive parents because she felt that she really did not have the financial stability to raise a 3^rdchild. In addition, she knew that my adoptive parents desperately wanted a child and had suffered through several miscarriages. I cannot possibly express how thankful I am for this compassionate act. After all, she could have simply had an abortion rather than carry me to term for another couple. My parents eventually did conceive 2 children of their own – my sister Ninny (7 years after my adoption) and my brother Crow (5 years after Ninny).

I have often wondered whether my sister Ninny will genetically inherit my (adoptive) mother’s difficulty having a child of her own. If so, I have already told her that I would be willing to be a surrogate for her. My contemplation of this led me to the conclusion that I did not need to wait for my sister to become a surrogate. Surely there are other people, right now, who desperately desire a child of their own.

That led me to Coastal Surrogacy. What a wonderful group of people who know all the ins and outs of surrogacy. So far, I can sing nothing but praises about this company. They take the really difficult process and make it really easy.

My hubby and I are finished having children. We have 4 children: Doogs (girl-age15),  Nutkin (girl-age 7), Latte (girl-age 6), and Little Man (boy-age 4). My hubby finally got his boy! When I gave birth to Little Man I had my tubes tied because we decided that we were done.

I just can't wait to help a couple with the precious gift that is Life, since we have been so blessed ourselves.
