Welcoming a child is one of the most impactful experiences any parent will ever have. But for some parents, the road to growing their families is long and complex and might feel more like an emotional roller coaster than a clear path forward.
Surrogacy has offered hope for these families, making it possible for individuals to start a family when other means are not available to them.
The team at Accel Conceptions regularly witnesses how surrogacy transforms lives by helping individuals fulfill their dreams. So how is surrogacy changing lives? Allow us to showcase some scenarios of truly incredible gifts intended parents have received in the form of a child.
After Struggles and Disappointment, Couples Find Hope
Many couples who approach Accel Conceptions have been on a long journey fraught with tests, injections, perhaps even surgeries. Negative pregnancy tests month after month have left them with little hope that they could welcome a child of their own.
Likewise, LGBTQ+ couples have found surrogacy to be a welcomed option in a space that historically was not possible for them. While surrogacy is an unconventional method, it is growing in acceptance as society adjusts its thinking and legal frameworks make way for clear parental rights for parents.
Single individuals who couldn’t otherwise welcome a child can do so through surrogacy, relieving some pressure to find a companion solely to welcome a child.
One parent shared their experience with Accel Conceptions, showcasing how life changing surrogacy was for them, when they said:
“Surrogacy can be a logistically complicated, emotionally complex journey. You will absolutely want a trusted friend to guide you through every step of the process. Monica was exactly that person for us. We had an incredibly smooth and joyful surrogacy experience, and she was the key component of that from the very first Zoom meeting all the way through to the birth of our beloved baby girl. You are in good hands with her.”
Many myths about surrogate motherhood persist in today’s world despite changes and updates to laws and advocates sharing impactful stories about lives changed. We debunk those surrogate motherhood myths. But the best way to see if the experience might be right for you is to reach out to us to start the process.
Surrogate Satisfaction in Knowing You’ve Changed a Life
Many people find gift-giving fulfilling, and there’s truly no gift quite like serving as a gestational surrogate for a family. Surrogates are real-life heroes for families who need them. They can make a profound impact on the family and take from the experience a sense of true fulfillment.
These caring individuals make daily sacrifices for the joy of knowing they helped someone else experience the joys of parenthood.
Karen S. shared her experience as a surrogate:
“Finding Accel Conceptions has been such a blessing in my life. I have embarked on a beautiful, rewarding journey of giving another family a baby of their own through me being their gestational surrogate. Since the beginning, Accel has been so helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive. They have answered all my questions, calmed all my fears, and just have been here with me every step of the way. I always know that the phone will be answered or the email will be replied to within minutes. If you were like me and searching for the right agency to go with, look no further. This agency is more of a sisterhood and family than anything else. You are in amazing hands with these ladies.”
We spent some time getting to know one of our surrogates and what motivates her to bring life into the world for another family. She answered big questions about her support network, what made her want to carry a child for another family, what the relationship with the intended parents is like, and some advice she’d share with intended parents about starting the surrogacy journey. If surrogacy is something you’ve ever considered, the in-depth interview is worth a read.
A research study that looked at a surrogacy support website found that women who serve as surrogates see it as a labor of love and a journey. Many want to maintain a relationship with the baby’s parents after welcoming the child because of the profound impact that they’ve had on the woman’s life.
