Has anyone here been a surrogate or used one? Was hoping to get in touch with someone who has first hand experience, preferably as a surrogate, to vet out some details before doing it. Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who's in process, she's not the surrogate though...they just had their transfer.
-
I have a friend who has been one 4 or 5 times. You can pm me and I can help you get in touch with her if you want!

Mrs. Starfish just started blogging about it.

@Mrs Green Grass: @Jess1483: thanks! i'll keep this in mind
@Mrs. Lion: Yes, that would be awesome. Thanks!
-
bump.
wondering if anyone else knows someone who has been a surrogate that can offer some firsthand experience. thanks.
-
@LilacWine: I have two friends that have done it (one of them twice). I would be happy to send on questions/answers if you want. I know the agencies they worked with have counselors that can also help answer your questions and put you in touch with other surrogates.
-
@T.H.O.U.: that'd be so awesome! Can you PM me your contact info and I can jot down a few questions?

If anyone is new here as well, I am going through surrogacy right now. it was something I have never thought about. But after being through 5 m/c we have decided that it is what we have to do. We have signed with an agency, did not choose to go independently. So yeah. It is not as scary as one can imagine
-
@pagerelvy33: Welcome! I've blogged a lot about our surrogacy experience and it was such a wonderful highlight of my life. Which agency did you sign with? Where do you stand in the process?
-
@Mrs. Starfish: Thank you for noticing my comment!
I have signed with WCOB. I am not sure anyone has head of it here though.
It is my first time dealing with surrogacy de, but everything seems to be going alright. Fingers crossed!
We have just had our first meeting with our SM. The agency is responsible for the matching process, so we have waited for them to invite us back so we can meet the woman! -
@pagerelvy33: Definitely exciting! I haven't heard of WCOB - is it local to where you live? Sounds exciting that you've met with the potential GC. Everything is in process!
-
@Mrs. Starfish: It is not..:) We went abroad for surrogacy. We could not budget it here in the US.
But nonetheless, the journey has been amazing so far. Our SM is already pregnant!!
How are you doing??
xx -
@pagerelvy33: That's so wonderful - congratulations! Enjoy every moment of this time, it's so special and it's really awesome to be part of something so amazing. I felt more love and gratitude during our surrogate pregnancy than I think I've ever felt in my life before or after!
All is good here - we are looking forward to seeing our surrogate again next weekend and we can't wait!
