Motherhood came early for me, and from the very beginning, I truly loved being pregnant. I was fortunate to have easy, healthy pregnancies, and I cherished every moment, especially feeling the baby move and grow inside me.
I have always had a heart for helping others, so when a close friend invited me to her embryo transfer during her surrogacy journey, it lit a spark in me. Witnessing that moment was incredible, and I knew that surrogacy was something I wanted to be a part of.
That spark quickly turned into action, and I began my first surrogacy journey in 2018. It was the start of something I’ll never forget. Since then, I’ve completed three journeys—my second in 2021, and my third in 2023. Each journey was unique. Each one had its challenges, its moments of joy, and its own special story. But the one thing they all had in common was the deep love and anticipation from the families I was helping.
To be a part of that—to be the bridge that helps someone become a parent—is an honor I don’t take lightly. I’ve watched the tears, the joy, the pure emotion as dreams that once felt out of reach finally come true. My heart is beyond full knowing I played a role in helping create those families.
Surrogacy is not always easy, but it is always worth it. For me, it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to hold their baby in their arms. And I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to be part of that miracle—three times over.
