There Is Hope…

It was the following day after our trip to the clinic when I received a phone call from my sister Crystal and girlfriend Vicki. After hearing about the astronomical cost of surrogacy here in the US, both gals suggested Kevin and I watch a clip from one of Oprah’s shows regarding international Surrogacy in India. Both had explained how many couples from all over the world are traveling to India to make their dream come true. Needless to say I was on the fence with the whole idea of having a baby half way around the world.

One of many informative articles we read and watched all began with this segment on Oprah's show. It moved me more then words can say.To read click on the address below.

Later that evening Kevin and I began watching numerous clips via Internet on outsourcing surrogacy in India. Many intended parents (like us) from around the world told their story. They call their journey the miracle of success. Several couples tell their story of how and why the decided to travel to India. It was a simple answer we related to. We want a valuable solution that wasn’t as expensive as begin in the United States, or several other countries that are extremely expensive for IVF.
 Story after story became more intriguing to us. We then found a few clips from Indian surrogates that tell their story of why they made the decision to help create a family for those who can not. Our on going research for surrogacy in India continued for several months. We read several newspaper articles, many blogs and spoke with many couples via email from all around the world. We received many positive experiences and several pictures of how the experience was long, but worth every second. The awesome couples that shared their lives with us were finally given the gift from God they were seeking for so many years, a baby.


It was a few months later Kevin and I both agreed that we were going forward with our chosen agency to begin our process of Surrogacy in India. We couldn't wait to begin. One of many questions we had was how were we going to afford the family once he/she gets here. So we both put our resumes out on the Internet to see if we could get bigger and better. And sure enough we did. It was a month into our parent planning when we received a call from a company in San Diego.They found Kevin's resume and reputation to be exceptional. It was three interviews and two months later we had packed up our lives from Redondo Beach to move to San Diego. Having to rearrange our priorities, our family planning had been put on the back burner. We promised each other that when our lives were settled here in San Diego, we would pick up where we left off on becoming parents.
