Jessica, American Surrogate Mother in Copperas Cove, Texas, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

Having my own son and becoming a mother made me realize that some people dont have it that easy and could miss out on this beautiful moment but I could help! I could be a tiny peice in giving someone that moment. I can’t wait for the moment the parents look into their childs eyes and I get to witness the joy on their faces!
