Successful Surrogate Stories – Natalie

Hello. I’m Natalie. After the birth of our second child, we knew our family was complete; I started thinking of all those women who struggle for years and years. My heart went out to them. I can help someone who needed help to have a baby of their own.

Then, I started to search for surrogacy online, the more I researched surrogacy, and the more I would like to be a surrogate to help others.

The matching process took a little longer than I thought it would. But finally, the matching specialist contacted me and said we had matched each other. And everything moved on smoothly, the baby was delivered at 2:00 AM, I labored through the night, but in the end, we still wound up with a healthy baby. And guess what else? I got to choose her name! At the beginning of the surrogacy, the parents told me that they wanted me to give the baby her American name. The baby would get her Chinese name after birth. I thought her American name was just a nickname of sorts. I was floored when at the hospital they said they were using her American name for her legal name on her passport and birth certificate. I was beyond honored.

I feel overwhelmed with joy that the parents finally have their baby. During the pregnancy, I kept imagining the look on their faces when their baby finally arrived, but when it actually happened it was better than I ever imagined. To see pure joy in two people who are finally getting their dream come true after nearly 10 years was priceless.

I always knew surrogacy was something I could do to help others, but looking back now, it is about so much more than simply lending a helping hand. It is about giving people hope.
