Consider Becoming a Surrogate Mother
The road to becoming a surrogate mother can be filled with an abundance of questions. The 
plan is often one of the biggest questions that arises but is not the only concern. While there are many pros and cons to weigh you can rest assured that every surrogate mother is more than adequately compensated. Below are a few additional pros and cons to take into consideration when you first start to think about becoming a surrogate mother.
- (Pro) Significant Compensation: One of the first reasons that many surrogates look into becoming a surrogate mother is the significant compensation that they receive.
- (Pro) Strong Support Group: There is a real bond that forms between other surrogate mothers and many support groups exist for them to support one another throughout the process.
- (Pro) Experience Pregnancy: Many women truly love the feeling of being pregnant and are sad when they are done having children for their own family knowing they will never again experience pregnancy. Surrogacy allows these women to once again experience the miracle of being pregnant without adding to their own family.
- (Pro) Fulfilling Experience: The ability to give another family the gift of life is a truly remarkable experience and one that you won’t soon forget.
- (Con) Physically & Emotionally Demanding: The entire path of becoming a surrogate is both physically and emotionally demanding. There will be a decent amount of medications involved, doctors appointments, hormones, and of course the process of being pregnant itself. This is a large portion you want to take into consideration.
- (Con) Takes Time: Surrogacy is not an overnight process and can take time to get to the stage of being pregnant and that in itself is a long process. You want to mentally prepare for the marathon not the race.
- (Con) Pregnancy Risks: Normal risks involved in pregnancy exists in a surrogate pregnancy; make sure you discuss any concerns with your doctor.
