If you are anything like me, from the moment you start your surrogacy journey you won’t stop imagining who your surrogate might be. You’ll think about who she is, what you want to tell her, and how you hope your relationship will go. And then, the magic day happens, and you think, “What do we […]
A year and a half ago my husband and I drove through Wisconsin on a mission. We were headed to our Match Meeting. We were driving to meet the woman who might carry our baby. I sit here now remembering what it was like to meet our surrogate. We had already gone through so much […]
During the surrogacy journey there are two, giant, life-changing days – two days that you will remember for the rest of your life. One of those days is the day that sweet baby is delivered and placed in your arms. The other big day on the surrogacy journey is the match meeting. If you are trying […]

Starting the surrogacy journey is kind of like going to The Maldives. Imagine you want to go to The Maldives. Maybe you’ve heard of the islands? Or maybe, at least, you’re now imagining some islands with palm trees, beautiful sandy beaches, a blue sky with a few clouds, and you’ve learned this magical land is […]
Our surrogate delivered our daughter two days before Thanksgiving. The delivery was the most unforgettable moment of my life (I wrote about it on my own blog here!). Our baby brought magic into the world the moment she arrived. Magic floated around us for days. It filled the apartment where we stayed while we waited […]
Last week I shared the number one question people want to ask and are (almost) always afraid to. Now that our baby girl is smiling in our arms, there’s another question we hear over and over – “But, the woman who carried her… do you still talk to her?” Most people are curious about surrogacy […]
