In my young twenties, I can recall conversations I had with my sister of how we dreamed of being surrogate carriers for couples who needed help having children. I have never forgotten that dream, it just was set aside for the season in my own life to make my children first. About a month ago, somehow I came upon this thought that the season in my life to be a surrogate carrier is now. I did some research on this topic, read on legal issues, talked about it with Brian, and mostly prayed about it with God.
Earlier this month, we all traveled up to Pennsylvania and met a wonderful, Christian couple that needs the assistance of a surrogate carrier. We had dinner together and talked for over 5 hours. We have come to the conclusion, that I will indeed help them in this area. I hope to be a wonderful carrier for them and help them fulfill their dream of having their own precious baby.
Many emotions are already swarming my mind, but mostly, I feel excited for them. This is something new and different to me, but if this is a good experience, I can see myself doing this at least one or two more times.
As I pray to God and read His word, I can feel His reassurance and guidance. He will keep me safe, comforted, and in His arms.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
"Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things."
