I have said this before but feel it needs to be posted again.
I have been a surrogate before, what outside people don’t realize is I am not the one people should be amazed with.The babies were never mine; I was blessed to be chosen to travel the life journey with such wonderful people.I had a small part compared to the IP’s they had to open their hearts and lives both good and bad up to essentially a stranger and give that stranger their most prized possession that they have no real guaranty they will get it back.My part was mediocre compared to theirs, my job was to give the innocent babies a place to stay and grow strong till they were ready to go home with their parent.It was a lot like foster care I am not the mom just the care provider whose job is to give of myself unselfishly until the time that they get to be with the strong and brave people who have an unconditional love for them even before the moment they formally get to meet for the first time, these people have given their everything just to keep giving of themselves to someone else for the rest of their lives, IPs are the true angels and miracle workers through this journey, to have gone through what every they have that has gotten them to the point of seeking a surrogate.They are true hero’s, they just keep going even when they want to quit and they know the odds may be stacked against them.I don’t know if I could be that strong if the roles were reverse.To you as an IP you are my HERO.May your dreams come true.Miracles happen to those who believe.
