Experienced Surrogates' Advice

Jessica

• A gestational surrogate says, "Make sure you are
  done with your family. My husband and I decided
  that we were done having kids years ago, so I had
  a long time to process it all. Also, make sure
  your partner is on board 100. I couldn't have
  done this without mine!"

Michelle

• Know your WHY and keep it on the top of your
  mind. Join surrogacy groups and ask questions
  before signing contracts. Expect the unexpected
  and do your best to be open minded, have
  resilience, have patience, and have no
  expectations for how the relationship will be
  after delivery."

Amber

• "The journey will not always be easy--it will be
  difficult at times. Having intended parents who
  inspire you to do this journey will make the
  difficult times much easier.  Having a strong
  support system that you can depend on is very
  important, as is remembering that you need not
  rush the surrogacy process."

Mary

• "Be your own advocate, make sure you understand
  everything, and ask questions when you have
  them."  Mary also stated that Rite Options
  "empowered me to be my own advocate the staff
  always made themselves available to answer any
  questions."

• As with any new experience in life, there are
  often many questions and sometimes even fear
  surrounding this new experience.  But, there can
  also be a sense of peace, comfort and confidence
  when you are given advice/knowledge from someone
  who has already been through that experience.
