Hi I've never done this I'm ashlie and my husband's Brandon we are searching for a way to start our family I am unable to carry or use my eggs so it's been really hard for us. We have been together 7 years in July and married 2 years in September and lives together for over 6 years. When I was 16 I had a miscarriage and the doctors told me my uterus was unable to handle pregnancy he said my uterus and placenta were too thin and I almost bled to death I hid my pregnancy from my whole family as well which didn't help. They told me with how my endometriosis is attacking my body I wouldn't be able to carry my own children without risking my life and the baby's I wouldn't make it to even half term if I ever got pregnant they also put my on the depo becuase of how many times I had to go to the hospital during my periods. Now my husband and I ever since we were talking when I was 18 have spoken to doctors and they say in impossible for me to get pregnant and we've decided to looking into having a surrogate. We have put adoption on the table but I would love to atleast have one of my children to be biologically my husband's if anyone has any info on how to start, prep, or figure out how to go through with having a surrogate and what to do to start our family please let me know to anyone who helps I will forever be greatful.

hello!
I am a producer with Critical Content working on a new docuseries for a major network that follows the journey of couples who are struggling to get pregnant and are choosing to have a baby by means of naturally imseminating a surrogate. Of course there are many alternative forms, however we want to focus on those who have decided surrogacy (through NI) is there only option, whether that be due to personal beliefs i.e. religious or other, last resort because nothing else worked, or just can’t afford IVF. I understand the sensitivity and intimacy of this topic, and we want to go about finding and helping these couples in the most respectful way.
