What surprised me most about surrogacy 🤍
I thought it was mainly about carrying a pregnancy for someone else. What surprised me most was how medical, emotional, ethical, and collaborative the process really is.
✨ It’s not “one size fits all.”
Every surrogacy journey is different—medically and emotionally—for the surrogate, the intended parents, and the healthcare team.
🩺 The medical screening is extensive.
Surrogates undergo thorough physical, psychological, and reproductive health evaluations to ensure safety for everyone involved.
🤝 Consent and support are central.
Surrogacy relies on informed consent, legal protection, counseling, and ongoing medical care—not assumptions or shortcuts.
💬 The emotional side is just as important as the physical.
Mental health support, clear communication, and mutual respect are essential throughout the journey.
🌍 Surrogacy is a family-building option, not a shortcut.
It helps people facing infertility, medical conditions, or other barriers experience parenthood in a safe and ethical way.
Public awareness matters.
Understanding surrogacy through a health and human rights lens helps reduce stigma and supports informed decision-making.
