Then my mind shifts to those less fortunate. Those who long so badly to have their own baby, those who have suffered through fertility treatments, miscarriages, disappointment. For whatever reason, they want to have a baby that is biologically theirs.
I think back to my pregnancy with Grey and really how easy it all was from start to finish. I remember the second I thought my water broke and telling my husband, "I either wet my pants or my water broke!" Got to the hospital and he was here 5 hours later. It was amazing. I wanted him so bad. He was exactly what I prayed for. His sister came a year and a half later and it was just as amazing. I wanted her so badly. She arrived 4 hours after labor started. Another little peanut but absolutely perfect!
When I was pregnant with Grey I knew someday I would be a surrogate mom for someone. I began to pray for the little baby(ies) I would one day carry. And now here I am... Beginning a life changing event not just for me but for the intended parents as well.
I applied online to a surrogacy agency that I felt had the special sincere touch I was looking for. Some of the other agencies I researched seemed cold and sterile. Not what I had in mind.
Shortly after I filled out the initial application I received a phone call from the agency. We discussed my health, background and my desire to be a surrogate. At one point in the conversation she said "you're telling me everything I want to hear", meaning I sound like a good candidate!
Two days later my husband and I had a Skype call with the two co-owners and the in taker i first spoke with. They asked many questions and answered all my questions. That night we made a little bio video and sent it off. During that call I found out they already gave my profile to a couple. The agency said they were really excited and couldn't wait to share my profile. They did that before they all had even seen us!
So here I am.... Beginning the journey. I would appreciate prayers if you're a person who prays:
-pray for the intended parents
-pray for the baby to be viable
-pray for me and my family
-pray for those who don't support me and may hurt me without realizing it
Follow along and keep me in your thoughts!
Peace and Love,
Julie
