WHY I WANT TO BE A SURROGATE

So very often I get asked "Why do you want to be a Surrogate?" Why do you want to do that to your body for someone else? Are you scared you will get attached?

Well, for so long I have always been all about "ME". Over the years I have changed, and so has my attitude towards people. I am all about giving now. I am married to the man of my dreams, the most wonderful guy in the world, I know, everyone says that. He stands beside me and supports me in everything I do, even the crazy things..lol. We have 3 great kids. I think, no I know they have changed me. They made me a better person. My kids are my world. I cant imagine not having kids. Its hard to think that there are couples out there that can not conceive on their own. I know there is adoption, but to have a biological child of your own is a miracle, its breath taking, and I believe everyone should have that option available to them. I have watched a close friend, well actually 2 friends, try to conceive. It was very hard, to watch her heart break time and time again with negative tests. I knew then I had to help someone, if not her.


As for my body, I can exercise, I had 3 healthy, wonderful pregnancies and I absolutely loved being pregnant :D

I want to be a good role model for my children. I want them to know it is a great feeling to reach out and help other people. If you are capable, and healthy then you should always lend a hand.

To help a stranger, and to create a friendship with them, its amazing. This will be a journey I will always remember.

My husband Joe, worries. He says "what if something were to happen to you?" Well if I get called home to heaven while doing this, I want my family to be proud. I know my children are still small, but later they will be proud of their momma trying to help someone. That is a risk I am willing to take. I feel like this is something I have to do. Its like I woke up one morning and it hit me. I had such a strong feeling about it, that when I would talk about it I would tear up. So I know I am doing the right thing, this is my calling in life.

I'm not a religious person, I don't go to church. But I do believe in God, and in miracles. And I believe he does put you on the path you are supposed to be on. some of us may have to struggle, some may have it easy. I think we all learn from our experiences.

As for getting attached, Im sure I will have a bond with the baby(s) carrying them for 9 months, but I will know they are not mine, and to see how happy I can make another couple, I can help them become a family, parents. To see the joy in their eyes. I can let go! I want them to feel what I feel, when I look at my kids, complete happiness.
I am done with my family, we have 3 kids. We cant ask for any more, we are truly happy :D
