Ok so where do I begin? I have thought about becoming a surrogate for approximately two years now. Having a Daughter of my own has been the most amazing experience for me. I have thought about the families I would be able to help and the impact that I could have on their lives. I wanted to experience making a difference in someone else's life and I thought what better way than giving the gift of life. I researched the topic for a little over a year and weighed out my pros and cons.
About a year ago with the help of a friend I picked an agency I felt fit my needs and submitted my application. That's when all the fun begins, you go through a rigid screening process and take multiple tests which let the psychiatrist know whether you are a good candidate or not. They take pictures of you and create a profile which is then updated into their database. Intended Parents(IPs) look through the database and decide if you are a good fit for them or not. I got picked shortly after my profile was active and had to consider if these IPs were going to be a good match for me.I got to look at my IPs profile before agreeing to begin my journey. As I read through their history and why they wanted to reach out to someone like me I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in knowing I had made the right decision and knowing that they were going to be able to complete their family with my help.
I am prepared to begin this wonderful journey with an amazing support system and agency that truly cares about the people involved.
