When I was researching agencies, one of the most important criteria for me was matching. In fact, it was my No. 1. This can really make or break a surrogacy journey. I truly believe this is what CSP does best!
The support I received from CSP as a surrogate was what made my first journey possible. The process can feel so overwhelming, with everything there is to learn. CSP made me feel safe and kept things moving at an easy, step-by-step pace.
If you're considering it, follow your heart and your gut! Surrogacy is so much more that “just being pregnant for someone else.” It’s a journey where you are learning about yourself and giving a family the biggest blessing in the world. You will make dreams come true.
I wanted to help families who couldn’t have children and not experience the phenomenal feeling of fulfillment that comes with parenthood.
The greatest benefits have been watching loving and caring families grow and knowing that my family helped them do so. My family and I have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and experiencing different cultures and ways of living. We are still in contact with my first two couples. My second couple, especially, we will have a lifelong friendship with. Both couples and their children are considered a part of our family.
It was so amazing to see my intended mom’s face when her daughter was delivered. I will never forget the sheer joy on her face when she saw her baby for the first time. It had been a long, difficult struggle for them, and they still refer to me as their “hero.” She held on to that baby so tightly when she was born.
