✨Surrogate Spotlight: Meet Emiley
What inspired you to become a surrogate?
I want to be able to help families grow! Giving what I can to bring more love into a family’s life!
What has been the most meaningful part of your surrogacy journey so far?
The most meaningful part of my journey so far has been seeing the little heartbeat fluttering, and just knowing how happy the parents will be once the little bundle of joy is here!!
What would you tell someone who’s thinking about becoming a surrogate?
I would say, make sure it’s right in your heart, that this is something you want to do. Because it’s not for the faint of heart, but if you truly want to help and you want to help make a family’s dream come true, then this is it.
What surprised you most about the process?
The medication, there’s a lot of medication.
What does being a surrogate mean to you now that you’re further along (or finished)?
Now that I’m further along, being a surrogate is deeper, more emotional. It’s no longer just about the idea of carrying a baby for someone, it’s about the realness of it. I have heard the heartbeat, seen the growth, and felt the little milestones.
How did your friends and family react when you told them?
They were all super excited and made sure it’s something I wanted to do. But in the end, they all knew my goal is to help. I have always strived to help.
Tell us a favorite memory or moment from your journey.
So far, my favorite memory is seeing the heartbeat for the first time and the little wiggle.
What would you say to your intended parents if they were reading this?
I would tell them that this little bundle of joy is protected and cared for and it’s growing strong and will be here sooner than they think!!!
