I thought I was done, but I was wrong.

When I finished my first surrogacy journey I thought I was done. I had done the thing I had always wanted to do, and now it was time to do whatever else The Universe placed in my path. I truly didn’t think I would do it again.

The month I moved to Colorado, a friend messaged me and asked if I might be interested in doing a second journey, the agency she worked with had some IPs looking for a surrogate and she thought I might be a good match. I said no, but if I ever changed my mind and decided to do a second journey I would let her know. I didn’t think I would ever change my mind, but in June of 2023 I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to do it again. I reached out to her and from that moment on, my life changed completely. I decided to do a second journey, I matched with AMAZING IPs, and gave birth to a beautiful little boy whose destiny was written in the stars. Then, miraculously as I was looking to join the workforce after 20 years of being a stay at home mom and raising my own family, I got a job with possibly the best company on earth, helping create families through surrogacy. If fate is real, this was fate. I am so grateful for surrogacy, and to Alcea Surrogacy. My life has been forever changed because I was a surrogate. #surrogacy #surrogatejourney #destiny #magic @

... Read moreSurrogacy can often be a life-altering experience, not just for intended parents (IPs) but also for the surrogates themselves. Initially, the thought of returning to this path might seem daunting, but many find it to be a rewarding venture. In my case, the nudge from friends and destiny played key roles in my decision. Each surrogate journey is unique, filled with emotional and physical challenges, and successes along the way. The process starts with finding an agency that resonates with your values and goals. Agencies like Alcea Surrogacy are specialized in matching surrogates with intended parents, ensuring a nurturing environment throughout the journey. Each surrogate’s motivations can vary—from personal experiences to a desire to help others fulfill their dreams of parenthood. Supporting each other through both emotional and logistical aspects is essential. The bond built between surrogates and IPs can often feel like a family connection, transcending traditional relationships. Many surrogates report feeling an immense sense of fulfillment after helping others, alongside their personal transformations. Ultimately, the decision to become a surrogate again, like my own, can lead to unexpected changes in one’s personal and professional life, paving the way for new opportunities and growth. If you’re considering surrogacy, know that it can be a source of empowerment, bringing with it the magic of life-changing experiences.

I thought I was too late… I was wrong
I kept telling myself this wasn’t for me. That I had missed my chance. That I was too far behind to even try. It’s a hard place to sit in. But the truth is… nothing changes until you decide to move. And the only real difference between staying stuck and moving forward is starting.
