# surrogacyjourney

@Harmony Gourson 🩷 As surrogates, we often get asked how it feels to give birth to a baby that is not genetically ours. Do we feel sad or attached? The truth is, we go into this journey fully understanding that the baby is not ours to keep. We are excited and honored to help grow someone else’s family. Surrogacy is not for everyone and that is completely okay. Emotions are a normal part of the process and not all of them are negative. Birth is emotional. It is powerful. And that is why having a strong support system is so important. Choosing the right agency matters. Do your research. Find one that supports you every step of the way because becoming a surrogate is a big commitment and you deserve to feel cared for throughout the entire journey. #surrogacy #surrogate #surrogacyagency #moms #surrogacysupport #surrogacyjourney #surrogates #alcea #alceasurrogacy #pregnancy #laboranddelivery

Naming strategies 👇 1. The Barista & Backyard Test Say it out loud. Yell it across a park. Have a Starbucks barista try to spell it. If it passes these real-world tests, you're on the right track. 2. The Boardroom & Playground Check Does the name sound just as good for a CEO as it does for a kindergartener? A great name should grow with them through every stage of life. 3. The Legacy Audit What story does the name tell? Look into its origin, meaning, and cultural significance. You're not just choosing a name; you're choosing their first chapter. 4. The Monogram Check Write out their potential initials (first, middle, last). You want to catch any accidental acronyms or unfortunate combinations before they're on a diploma. 5. The Popularity Pulse Check the Social Security Administration's data. Is the name timelessly popular or just trendy? Aim for a name that feels special without being tied to a fleeting moment. 6. The Sibling Synergy Test How do the names sound together? For us, with two on the way, we want names that feel like they belong to the same story, but can also stand strong on their own. 7. The Nickname Veto Consider every possible nickname, both good and bad. If there's a nickname you can't stand, decide if it's a risk you're willing to take. What's your #1 rule for choosing a name? #babynames #parentingtips #surrogacyjourney #twodads #nesting #dadtobe #namemeaning

People who do surrogacy don’t sit in hospital beds pretending to give birth, a newborn has been born, needs to be monitored and if there is space intended parents also get a bed. You can leave when your surrogate leaves here in Australia. So as Belinda is having a c section we stay with our baby, until she is ready leave too. You can only do surrogacy in Australia if you medically can not carry your child. I do not have a uterus to carry our baby. Commercialised surrogacy is illegal and you can not pay a surrogate just to carry your baby for you. There are huge laws and processes in Australia for surrogacy. There’s months of counselling, psych evaluations, legal agreements, you need to pass your states board and then you can start transfer. Surrogates in Australia want to do surrogacy to carry a baby for a family who can not carry their own and give them the chance to be a family. Here you pay all the medical fee’s, fertility fee’s and anything your surrogate needs during pregnancy but Belinda our surrogate has wanted to do this her whole life and we are incredibly grateful she chose us. She will be Aunty Bel to our son and he will know that she gave him the gift of life. She is like my second mum, she is family to us. It has taken us years to get here and it’s finally time to meet baby Holman. #surrogacy #surrogate #surrogacyjourney #australia #baby #pregnancy #mtb #intendedparents #babyboy #fertility #fertilityawareness

Replying to @Ashley Mae everyone’s birth story is different 🫶🏼 Mine happens to be filled with a lot of trauma. So happy my doctor thought ahead and spared my ovaries so my best friend could be our surrogate! #24Weeker #Preemie #MicroPreemie #SurrogacyJourney #Surrogacy #IVF #EmbryoTransfer #Expecting

Watch my belly grow 🥹 can’t believe I really became a surrogate 🍼🤰🏽 #pregnant #pregnantbelly #pregnacyjourney #viral #foryoupage #surrogate #surrogacy #surrogacyjourney #fyp #greenscreen

I documented a lot of the way and excited to share a few things. My family was not aware what’s so ever that I was in the process to start my own family. Despite hiccups along the way, all I want is positivity and to enjoy the process as I expect the baby with so much love. I read a lot of positive comments from you guys and it warmed my heart in ways I didn’t expect. Thank you so much for all your kind words, truly I mean it. #surrogacy #surrogacyjourney #singledad

my journey to becoming a surrogate! I can’t believe I found that first video from 2018 🥹 At that point I had already been considering it for over a year, but I lived in Nebraska and wasn’t 21 yet. Surrogacy has been on my heart for years and I have spent countless nights praying over this! So grateful to be with an incredible agency like @Your Fertility Advocate and matched with @Mary-Susan Gerrald 💖 It was worth the wait!! #surrogacyjourney #momtok #surrogate #postpartum #motherhood

I had been using @Legendairy Milk Liquid Gold supplements during my inducing lactation journey for weeks before my baby arrived. You can only imagine my reaction when they found my content and asked if I would be interested in being an affiliate for them! I could see a visible difference in my milk supply while pumping and I’m still taking it as we transition to breastfeeding now that our sweet baby born via surrogacy is here!
