egg donation, we have learned so much more from our experiences these past

Pathways To Parenthood: An Egg Donor & Surrogacy Agency Celebrating Women’s History Month

At Pathways To Parenthood, we celebrate amazing women everyday! The
amazing women that survive the trials and tribulations of infertility; the amazing
women that are willing to help other women (and men too!) become moms (and
dads too!); and the amazing women that tirelessly work at Pathways To
Parenthood to help make others’ dreams come true. March offers all of us an
opportunity to collectively honor the impact women have made in history, and
the groundbreaking history we continue to make every day.

History is filled with stories of so many exceptional and outstanding women who
have accomplished so much that there are far too many to even begin to
mention. History is also filled with countless courageous, strong, and determined
women who lived their lives working hard and caring for others. They lived, and
are living, their lives as a shining example influencing the next generations,
making the world a better place because they were/are in it.

In the spirit of highlighting what amazing feats women have achieved, and
continue to achieve every day, Pathways To Parenthood celebrates women who
are surrogates and egg donors, past and present. These incredible women offer
themselves, literally, to help bring life into the world for someone else. These
women become surrogates and egg donors because they understand the need,
and they want to help others in a really special and unique way.

The gift of surrogacy and egg donation by the women who give of themselves,
brings joy and happiness that is unlike anything else. We all should celebrate any
woman that has been a surrogate or egg donor, or wants to become a surrogate
or egg donor, for they make the impossible possible.

My Surrogacy Story

By Angela K

My desire to help another family by becoming a surrogate was with me for many years.  It was something I thought about often, but I wanted to wait until I was done having my own children.  After completing my family, and witnessing a close friend struggle with infertility, I decided it was time to give the gift of life through surrogacy to another family.

After doing research about the surrogacy process, I took the first step!  I completed the pre-screening application with my surrogacy agency, Pathways To Parenthood. Once I completed all of the steps in the surrogacy screening process, I quickly began the matching process. My hope was to match with a couple that would provide a happy, safe, and stable home for a child.  I saw that in the couple that I matched with, and I was thrilled to begin the surrogacy process with them.

There were a few steps in the surrogacy process before the embryo transfer, but eventually the day we all had been dreaming of finally arrived.  We had all agreed to transfer two embryos with the hope that I would become pregnant with twins.  A few weeks later we learned that is exactly what happened, we were pregnant with twins!  We could hardly believe it! Seeing two little heartbeats made us all so joyful.

My surrogacy pregnancy was for the most part, all that I had hoped it would be.  There were a few small hiccups, but nothing major.  Having the support of my intended parents made things easier for me.  Knowing I was going to help make their dreams come true to become parents to two children was always with me and made the pregnancy easier still.  My surrogacy agency was also there for me to support me if I needed it.  Fortunately, there was not much I needed support for!  I feel so blessed that my pregnancy went pretty smoothly, and my intended parents were so wonderful.

The best day of all arrived when I was induced at 37 weeks, and gave birth to two beautiful, perfect babies.  Seeing my intended parents with their children was the happy ending that I had thought about for so long!

Surrogacy in 2021: Taking the first step…

You don’t have to see the whole staircase.  Just take the first step.

                                                          Martin Luther King Jr.

As we begin this fresh new year, there are many hopes and dreams we all carry in our hearts for 2021. If having a baby is one of your dreams, and surrogacy is part of that dream, taking the first step can be very difficult. Making the decision to build your family through surrogacy can certainly be daunting enough. But it is just the beginning as you embark on the surrogacy process, which can feel so overwhelming. It is hard to take the first step because you may not know what the first step might be, and how many steps there are.

Consulting with a surrogacy agency can be so helpful if you find yourself in this situation.  As the quote from Martin Luther King Jr. states, you don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step!  It would sure be helpful though wouldn’t it?  Talking with a reputable surrogacy agency can be the first step that helps you see the whole staircase.  They can also assist you in developing a plan and timeline to get the top!

If you aren’t quite ready to embark on your surrogacy process yet, that is okay!  It can still be quite beneficial to take the first step of gathering information and developing your plan.  Below are a few questions that a consultation with a surrogacy agency can help you with as you consider building your family through surrogacy.

1. What are the costs for the surrogacy process?
2. How long does it take to have a baby using a surrogate?
3. What is the surrogacy matching process like?
4. What is the surrogacy screening process?
5. What kind of women want to become a surrogate?
6. Is surrogacy legal?  What is the legal process for surrogacy?

You likely have more questions than are on this list, but it is a good start.  These are very important questions to get answers to as you take the first step of gathering information about having a baby through surrogacy.  Whatever your hopes and dreams are, may they be fulfilled in 2021!
