WHY NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BECOME A SURROGATE

The Covid-19 pandemic has cast its shadow over most things, including family planning.  Now more than ever before, individuals and couples are looking for surrogates to help make their dreams of parenthood come true. As a result of all this uncertainty, many women are asking themselves, “Should I move forward with being a surrogate in 2022?” If you’re like many women considering becoming a surrogate, you’ve known for a long time that this is something you want to do. But deciding when to start the surrogate process may not be an easy decision.

1. Often, women are hesitant to start the process as it may not be a good time for them to be pregnant. This concern is completely understandable, although it can be difficult to find the “perfect” time to be pregnant! It’s important to keep in mind that the surrogacy process takes time and there are a number of steps you will need to take before ever becoming pregnant. Which is why you may want to consider getting started on this journey sooner rather than later.  As a surrogate candidate, you do have some influence on the timing of the steps in the process.
2. At Pathways To Parenthood, we know how much you and your family will sacrifice to help another person realize their ultimate goal of becoming a parent — and we feel that you deserve to be compensated fairly in return. That’s why we offer a competitive compensation package for all our surrogates. Contact us today to learn about customizing your compensation package.
3. We have many intended families waiting to be matched with a surrogate to grow their families! Amazing surrogates are needed now more than ever!

To help you decide if now is right time for you to become a surrogate, we have information to share from an experienced surrogate who recently started the process to become a surrogate again!. We sat down (virtually) with Surrogate Annie to see why now is the right time for her.

What first brought you to surrogacy?  What first brought me to Surrogacy was the fact that I absolutely loved being pregnant.  I loved everything right down to the delivery.   And I love helping others!  Surrogacy is the perfect combination of these two factors. Once my second son was born and our family was complete, I started researching Surrogacy.  I knew I was done creating my family and was ready to help others build theirs.

Why did you decided to become a surrogate again?  Why now?   Since my last surrogacy journey ended back in 2017 another journey has always been on my mind, but the timing was not right. I was raising two young sons and really wanted to concentrate on being there for them.  Now that they’re both a little older, I feel it’s a great time to add one more journey to my story. Plus, there are so many families that had to put their family building plans on hold due to COVID, that are in need of a surrogate, I knew now was the right and best time to get started.   I hate knowing some families have been on hold for 1-2 years, and now are having to wait to be matched with a surrogate.

Do you have any advice to share with prospective surrogates? First off if you’re even considering becoming a surrogate, you’re already a rock star! Surrogacy is an amazing gift to give a family and it is important to put your whole heart in it.  The process can be long but it’s so worth it.  My best advice is to find an agency much like Pathways To Parenthood that will have your back and help you through any difficult decisions or questions that you have during the process. If you are considering becoming a surrogate, don’t wait!  There are so many people waiting to start their family and need your help.   Pathways To Parenthood can answer any and all questions you have to ease your mind and help you make the best decision for YOU!
