There are so many people who would be great parents and can’t be. I thought maybe it would be good for me to try and help. I think too often people who shouldn’t be having kids, do. And I always think it is sad that the people who would be involved, be good parents, seem to be the ones not being able to. My cousin in law and his wife are going through infertility treatments right now and it brought the whole issue back up to the front for me lately, it really got me thinking about this. But thinking doesn’t help anyone unless you act on it, so here I am.

It’s the most rewarding, selfless thing that anyone can do. Long before I met my husband, I offered to do surrogacy for a family friend, however she was able to give birth herself. But after my husband and I had our daughter together I looked into it again. I loved being pregnant and would love to do something like that for somebody else. If anyone is considering being a surrogate, I’d tell them to go for it. Absolutely. I’ve already referred a couple of people to Hatch. There’s not anything I would have changed about my experience.
