My Wife Was A Surrogate – A Husband’s Story
The first time I heard about surrogacy was while my wife, Julie was pregnant with our first child. She said, "I really want to carry a baby for someone someday. This experience is incredible and you know how bad my heart hurts for couples unable to conceive or carry." My response was what any man would think... I knew the risks involved in pregnancy and at first I was worried for my wife's health.
Understanding the Psychological Assessment and Available Support for Surrogates
An important part in the process of becoming a gestational surrogate is the psychological assessment. While it may sound intimidating, the assessment is really a way for the therapist to get to know the potential surrogate and her partner (if she has one) and help them really understand the specifics about surrogacy and the potential emotional and relational aspects of a surrogate journey, so that together they can decide if this option will be a positive and satisfying experience in their lives.
