It has been a tough few weeks on our surrogacy journey, and last Thursday, we made a difficult but inevitable decision to end our relationship with our surrogate. We had matched back in May and had been getting to know her, and her partner during the summer. As part of the process she needed to be medically cleared by our clinic before we’d sign any contracts and it took a few weeks before that could begin. Over that time we were brought into her life, and her into ours, so it was the worse feeling ever when one of her test results revealed something serious. It was something she had not known about and wouldn’t of if she’d not begun the journey with us. It felt like a breakup when we said we wouldn’t be able to continue with her and in my heart I felt she wanted us to, after the devastating news she’d learnt about her own health. We’re taking a few days to recover from this but have to move on and hope another woman, our future surrogate, will find us and do the most amazing thing ever, help us start a family.
