What does Surrogacy mean to you?
For me, Surrogacy is a community that came together to help me become a father.It means great friendships, strong people and a team that supports each other through a long journey together.
Surrogacy provided the opportunity for me to continue to fall in love with a woman that was scared that I would end our budding new relationship when she had to tell me that she didn't have a uterus and we couldn't have children together.
Surrogacy allowed us to become a family.
The gift of Surrogacy gave my daughter life.
As a parent, I need to help her learn and understand what Surrogacy means to her.
Her story will be different from mine.
What Surrogacy means to you will also be different than what it means to us.
That is the question we are asking everyone in the Surrogacy community this Summer.Over the next 73 days we are going across the USA and to Europe and talking to Intended Parents, Surrogates, Professionals in the field, and friends/family members that have had their lives touched by surrogacy in order to get their answers about what Surrogacy means to them.
We are starting a "Blog for Surrogacy" Campaign and we are asking other to join us by blogging in support of Surrogacy families.
