Short answer, no. Many families with all different backgrounds have used surrogacy as a way to build or grow their families.
- Some suffer from years of infertility.
- Some have had emergencies that have taken a key reproductive organ.
- Some have battled and BEAT cancer, and later found out the chemo killed their eggs or sperm.
- Same sex couples NEED a surrogate to have biological children.
- Some have waited a LONG time and never found Mr. or Mrs. right – so they will become single parents.
- Some put their careers first, bought the house, built a great life – now they are older and it may not be safe to carry a pregnancy to term
- Adoption is not always an option
- Some suffer from physical restrictions or emotional struggles that a pregnancy – with all the hormones would not be advised.
- Some have become pregnant, some many times – but they could not carry a pregnancy to full term.. This is their last hope to have a biological child of their own!
- The list goes on, but the point is they WANT to be parents and the reason in which they came to that decision will be part of their story that puts the fire in your belly to help them.
