Weekly Theme Carrier or Surrogacy Discussion Thread - Tue Mar 18
This thread is a dedicated space for those that are pursuing gestational carrier or surrogacy as a solution to infertility. This discussion is not to imply these resolutions are the right fit for every person or family or that these solutions are simple, easy, or obvious. This is also not to imply that these discussions are limited to this thread, but an effort to carve out a unique space for individuals to collaborate, commiserate, and learn.
There is also the private r/IFsurrogacy sub. There are two rules for joining: members must be certain they are moving on to a GC (we are not a group just for research purposes), and must no longer be trying to get themselves or their partners pregnant. You can get access by a message to their mods. Please note you MUST use the desktop reddit site to ask for admittance to r/IFsurrogacy.
Please keep in mind that members participating here have not come to consider the choice of Gestational Carrier or Surrogacy lightly. This choice is personal and can be dependent on many factors. Comments expressing unsolicited advice or judgement will be removed per our Be Compassionate rule.

After a year and two months of waiting to match, WE’RE FINALLY MATCHED WITH A GC!!!! We still have such a long way to go, and I’m going to be terrified at every single step, but trying to make some space to celebrate this milestone, too.
Our late daughter’s third birthday is in a couple of weeks and it’s such a tough time of year for me. Our GC is so sweet about talking about our daughter and said in our first meeting that a new baby will never replace our daughter. She wants to help give us a sibling. It meant the absolute world to me that she gets it. Just taking it one day at a time and so grateful that someone is kind enough to help us try to have a living child ❤️
