Scroll down to the first few posts and you will see Jon's "interesting" attempts at making an announcement. Not sure if we ever got it right so we just decided to share this with our close friends in surrogacy today! MUA .....Christy
My observation............
When talking to other people in the surrogacy world the topic of having two surrogates help one set of IP's at the same time causes a bit of a stir. A number of people in the surrogacy world become quite judgmental. The odd part to me is these are the same people who have the world at large questioning what they are doing being a surrogate at all.
Just interesting that those that are fastest to judge something out of the "norm" are the same people who have been judged by others for doing something out of the "norm".
Welcome to my world of infertility, "norms" have no place here :-) But for everyone else there are reclining seats with a popcorn holder.
At the bottom right hand side.......is that a page counter or people who have looked at this Blog? I thought no one could see it.....yet
I sit here reading this blog with Jon over my shoulder saying "post something and stop going around making fun of my posts in the comments section" So here is my first post not making fun of Jon! It is inspired by Ajysyt and Isis and their posts..............
I am reading this and it hit me how incredibly blessed I am to have more than surro's but friends step up and help me make Jon a daddy for the first time. As a little girl all I really thought about was one day becoming a mommy. Now I am grown and am with the most incredible man for me and want so much to see his dream of becoming a daddy happen. The strange twist in my life is I cannot do that for him by myself like almost 90% of the general population can do. It is a gift I don't even think most women see they give when they give birth. For most women, it isn't just them having a baby but they are also carrying a baby for the man they love and creating their own family. I cannot think of a greater gift of any woman to give the man she loves. It has been a painful road to get here today but I just feel beyond blessed to have two friends offer to help us by stepping into my place and carry these children that will make Jon a Daddy. This is the ultimate gift I cannot give Jon without the help of my friends and am just blown away they have offered this incredible gift of their time and life.
To BOTH of my friends who have offered to grow our babies until it is time for them to make Jon a Daddy, I cannot EVER thank you enough. Words will never do justice to my feeling of complete awe of your kindness in helping us.
Our Quote's
"Caveo of quisquam ut has iustus unus redimio."
Translation:
Beware of anyone that has just one surro
And From Ecclesiastes 4:9-10:
"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.
For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up."
