The Beginning

Why do I want to be a Surrogate? This is the question many have asked. My family means everything to me. In addition to a husband who is truely also a best friend, I have been blessed with wonderful children. I truely did not know how wonderful life was before my family was completed. Each of my children has added a new dimention to my life, our lives. I could not imagine not having them. Nor could I imagine the pain of not being able to have conceived them. Now that our family is whole, I would be honored to play a small part in facilitating the completion of another family.

I have considered making surrogacy a part of my life for a while now. The timing is now right. Last week I filled out a "questionaire" about my life and sent in to an agency to begin this process. I have also been researching all aspects of surrogacy and trying to throw myself into the subculture that is surrogacy. I have spoken to some great women who have given me wonderful and honest advice. (Thank you if you are one of these women!!!) On Tuesday I received a call that the agency has a potential couple that would be a good match to work with. Today we arranged a meeting scheduled for this Saturday. I am excited yet nervous to meet this couple. I am sure it will be awkward at first, but I am hopeful that this will truely be a good match and that we will quickly be at ease with eachother. I am curious to know about them. Tonight looking at their picture it was surreal in a way. Surreal, but great!

Thank you for following my first journey as a surrogate!
