After giving birth to my second child, I was extremely grateful for my
beautiful, healthy baby, but I was also mourning the end of the
pregnancy. My husband & I had decided that baby #2 was it
for us, we were happy with our 2 boys, and didn't plan to have any more
children. Then one day while watching the show
“The Little Couple” on TLC, I learned about surrogacy. Watching another couple struggle with the
reality of not being able to have a child in the traditional way made me
realize just how special having a child of your own can be. It also
made me think of my own pregnancies and how beautiful and wonderful I
felt throughout each of them and how happy I was to be pregnant. I was very comfortable with this decision to not have any more children of my own, however, I was sad
at the thought of not ever being able to experience another pregnancy. I knew
that if I could, I would love to be able to make a difference in the
lives of a couple who was also struggling with having a child of their
own. One thing to be sure and note, I was NOT going to donate my eggs. I wanted only to be the 'oven' for the 'bun'. The child would have no genetic connection to my husband or me.
Now I just had to figure out how to become a surrogate and how to convince my family and friends that I wasn't completely insane for volunteering to do this. :)
