emotional surrogacy

More Than a Medical Journey

Surrogacy is so much more than a medical procedure. It’s an extremely human process, and it entails joy, expectation, connection, and transformation.

We at Surrogacy4All mark all emotional milestones — from your first intro call with your surrogates to the miracle moment when your baby’s in your arms. Awareness of the emotional stages helps intended parents and surrogates navigate tough times and achieve victories.

The Emotional Stages of Surrogacy

There are several emotional stages and distinct emotional phases in each surrogacy journey with varying challenges and advantages:

Hope: The Decision to Begin

  • The family-building process is one of dreams, hopes, and sometimes uncertainty.
  • Intended parents may be in a state of hope and fear when they start.

Trust: Building Connection with Your Surrogate

  • Respect and trust form the cornerstone of developing a relationship.
  • Surrogate-parent sessions, usually organized by experienced counselors, give the two sides a chance to gain trust and understanding.

Anxiety: Waiting During IVF Cycles

  • IVF and embryo transfer may be stressful for both parties.
  • Regular check-ins and emotional support help make it less stressful to cope with fear and stay connected.

Bonding: Hearing the First Heartbeat

  • Heard the baby’s heartbeat or seen the first ultrasound confirms the emotional bond.
  • Intended parents and surrogates feel a mix of awe, wonder, and protective love.

Gratitude: The Moment Your Child is Born

  • Birthday fills with profound happiness, relief, and thankfulness.
  • Surrogates and parents jointly sign the successful life and journey.
