Surrogacy, Egg Donation, healing the pain.

Could you help ease the pain of infertility for a couple with surrogacy or by donating eggs? Infertility is a topic close to my heart. It is not one I have had to deal with personally beyond being a surrogate mother. It has circled me though it seems my whole life.

Over 1/3rd of women over age 35 have infertility issues! 

I grew up seeing so many with empty arms and tear filled eyes and I could not picture anything hurting that much. That is I was I became a surrogate, because I knew I could take that pain away and turn it into something amazing. There are so many advances in reproduction the last 20 years. Women can store their eggs for later. They have treatments for infertility for both males and females, and if those do not work, there are options. Surrogacy can help heal the pain of empty arms. It isn’t easy so I will not say it is. It is however worth it. I have met many women who say they would love to help but could not carry the baby for 9 months and then say good bye. Could you say good bye though to a few of your eggs to help another couple have the baby of their dreams? It is not easy either, but not as hard. Why donate? Donate because it is in you to do it. Donate because you feel you “Must” do something to help. Donate because it makes you feel amazing to be able to help. That is why I was a surrogate. I wanted to help, and I needed to feel worthy of this life by helping others. There is a selfishness to helping others honestly. It makes us feel wonderful about ourselves, like we did something worthy of our lives. I love that feeling, no other feeling like it helping take the pain away.
