Wow…mother. This is the MOST important role I have ever taken on. This little being is looking to me for guidance and answers and boundaries and fun! Me. She is looking at me for comfort and love…LOVE.

I don’t think I realized how important this role is until now. I think I downplayed how crucial our mothers are…how they help to shape us and give us the foundation we need to move forward in life.

So, since I’ve come forward with my infertility struggles and my partner and I’s choice to use a surrogate, I have had several people come to me with questions about the process…so I’m here to hopefully answer those questions at a group level.

First…no I didn’t find her off craigslist. Heh…no one really asked me that, but the first thought and question that I get is…aren’t you afraid she will get attached to the baby and want to keep it. Hey…this is not a strange question…I thought the same thing before I really got into this journey.
