Unconditional Love

 I have had so many people ask me the same question  “is it going to be hard for you to give this baby up”? and my answer was always the same “no, because he was never mind to begin with”.    I believe you have to go into this process with that feeling… I am only the vessel who carries and nurtures this baby.  It belongs to the mother and father who created the embryo in the beginning.
It truly is a gift of unconditional love, and it truly means to be selfless.  I believe you have to take your selfish beliefs out of the process in order to see the amazing gift you will be giving someone else. So many people say I could never give something up that I carried for 9 months.   Lets put it this way…..do you remember the moment you gave birth and saw your babies face for the first time?  The overwhelming feeling of  uncondional love that consumed you.  The feeling that no matter what, you would love, cherish and protect this little miracle for the rest of your life.  Now, imagine  if you weren’t able to have babies and you would never feel that emotion or have the experience of raising your own child.  Its unimaginable.....
I think surrogates give the most amazing gift to parents who wouldn’t be able to experience this otherwise.  This is a journey of Love, a selfless love that one human gives to another.  A love that can heal the most painful wounds and bring together the most unlikely of peoples.
I know surrogacy isn't for everyone, but I just wanted to put my feelings on this question I get so many times :) :)

Second Journey of Love

I am in the process of taking my second journey into surrogacy.  For the last 2 years I have been involved in and was a successful surrogate.  This amazing experience has changed my life in the most wonerful way..  I am in the process of writing a book about this amazing journey, not only from my perspective but from the Intended Parents side as well.  So, I will keep you posted on that work as I blog my way through the second time around.  I will be blogging all my thoughts, feeling and emotions over the next 9 plus months and I welcome all of you to join me in this journey with your thoughts, feelings and questions you may have.  I am going to my screening appointment tomorrow and I will keep you posted on the next step.
Oh, one more thing, the couple I am working with this time is the brother and sister in law of my other parents.  I will be carrying the cousin to my last miracle!  So excited!!
