Pregnancy, especially as a gestational carrier, is a big undertaking. You’re not expected to have all the answers or handle everything on your own.

Ask for help when you need it, whether that means extra hands for housework, help with meals, childcare, running errands, or just someone to talk to on a tough day. Sometimes the most caring thing you can do is let others step in, even for the everyday things.

Remember, reaching out for support doesn’t mean you’re falling short. It means you’re taking good care of yourself, and that benefits everyone in this journey.

🕯️ Transgender Day of Remembrance — November 20

Today we pause to honor the transgender lives lost to violence, discrimination, and hate. This day is a reminder of the incredible resilience of the transgender community and the reality that too many people still face danger simply for living as who they are.

Transitioning is often a necessary and difficult step toward living in alignment with one’s identity — and it can strengthen families, not harm them.

Misconceptions about gender identity still lead to unfair barriers in family-building, custody decisions, and even the right to parent safely.

Transgender people build families with the same love, commitment, and daily chaos as anyone else. They are parents first — juggling school pickups, bedtime routines, and the hopes they hold for their children. Children benefit from learning compassion, diversity, and the truth that every parent deserves dignity.

As we remember the lives lost, we also advocate for the living. Transgender people deserve safety, respect, and the freedom to create families without fear.

🕯️ Today we honor, we mourn, and we commit to doing better.

What happens if the first embryo transfer doesn’t work?

It’s something many intended parents and surrogates worry about. The reality is, not every embryo transfer leads to pregnancy, and it’s more common than people think. If the first attempt isn’t successful, it’s normal to feel discouraged, but it doesn’t mean the journey ends here.

Your fertility team will look at what happened and help you decide on next steps—often, this means preparing for another transfer. Many families need more than one try before they see a positive outcome.

Remember, setbacks are sometimes a part of the process, but staying patient and keeping communication open with your team is key.

The surrogacy journey is a marathon, not a sprint.

It’s natural to wish things would move faster. Waiting for milestones, paperwork, appointments, or results can test your patience. But some things just can’t be rushed, especially when it comes to building a family.

Along the way, don’t lose sight of the little moments: a kind message from your surrogate, an update from your coordinator, a small step forward in the process. These are the things you’ll remember when you look back.

Take a breath. Trust the process. The finish line is worth it.

Today is World Prematurity Day. In the US, 1 in 10 babies is born before 37 weeks—making prematurity far more common than most people realize.

Whether you’re a parent, surrogate, family member, or friend, chances are you know someone whose life has been changed by a premature birth.

We’re thinking of everyone who has been touched by prematurity today, and invite you to join us and March of Dimes in raising awareness for healthier beginnings.

There’s a lot of talk out there about why women become surrogates, and one of the biggest myths is that it’s all about the money. The reality? It runs so much deeper than that.

Yes, surrogates deserve to be compensated for their time and commitment—but what truly drives so many is the chance to help someone else experience the love of family.

The emotional reward of seeing dreams come true, and knowing you’ve played a part in something life-changing, is an experience that stays with you long after the journey ends.

Pro Tip: Keep the relationship personal

It’s easy to get caught up in the logistics and paperwork of surrogacy, but don’t forget that real connections make the journey smoother for everyone.

Simple gestures—like checking in, sharing a thoughtful note, or sending a small gift to show your appreciation—go a long way toward building trust and making your surrogate feel valued.

At the heart of every surrogacy journey is mutual respect and a personal relationship that makes the experience meaningful for everyone involved.

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."
-Elmer Davis

This Veterans Day, we're reminded that freedom isn't free. It's protected by the brave.

To every veteran who has answered the call to serve: your courage has kept our nation strong, and your sacrifice has preserved the liberties we hold dear. You are the guardians who make America the home of the brave, and in doing so, you ensure it remains the land of the free.

Thank you for your service, your strength, and your unwavering dedication to something greater than yourselves.
