Surrogacy
I am a traditional surrogate (my eggs) and gave a wonderful couple twin boys for them to raise 2 years ago. I am now newly pregnant as a gestational surrogate. Surrogacy is a beautiful thing, although there are a few out there that shouldn't be doing it. That is the main reason we have contracts, psychological testing for all parties, medical testing for all parties, etc. In a few states contracts usually do not hold up in court (like in AZ where I am). I know there are some bad stories about surrogacy and mostly about a traditional surrogate. It seems that the wonderful stories never seem to make it to print like all the bad stories.
Sometimes using a surrogacy agency is safer than trying to do it yourself, they will help protect you if something went wrong. Using an experienced surrogate is also a way of ensuring that they won't want to keep the baby(ies).
I was never sure about whether I would want to carry again for another family ... until I delivered the boys. After that, I realized that the joy of helping to create a family far outweighed any other emotions. The support of family and friends is good to have as well.
