Surrogate

I have had 3 mcs and my recent pregnangy ended in my daughter Ziey being stillborn. It has been a difficult road and my re recommends we use a surrogate to carry our baby.

Has anyone used a surrogate or looked into it ? We aren't ready yet after our loss but I'd like to see how others feel about it.

we looked into when we first found out we would have difficulties. the key is research. get to know your surrogate. find out why they are doing it (money or helping someone). get to know the surrogates family. they as a surrogate will need a support system after the baby is born. consulate a lawyer to make sure there is a contract in place stating who gets what and how much or if the surrogate wants nothing in return. there is a lot into a surrogate but the journey can be wonderful. hugs the first place I started is just goggling it on line.

This is a tough road. I guess just do a ton of research on it and ask your family for support and ask them to research (makes them feel like they're contributing) and then carefully consider all information before making a life-changing decision. If surrogacy isn't for you, then you might could consider adoption.

Sorry this isn't more help :(

Adoption in Quebec is near impossible and the wait for international adoption is so very long.
My real reason for really considering a surrogate is because we still have a few frosties from our last IVF cycle and I don't have the heart to give them up.
Just wish I new of at least one person that has been through surrogacy.
