Becoming a surrogate is a deeply personal decision that comes with emotional rewards, and for Ashley, her journey into surrogacy was both life-changing and fulfilling. Read on as Ashley, a mother of three, shares her inspiring story of how she embarked on this remarkable path with Flying Stork Surrogacy. She goes on to describe the rewarding experience of helping another family and achieving her own family’s goals along the way.
How It All Began
Ashley’s journey with surrogacy started unexpectedly. One day, while chatting with other moms in her neighborhood, she learned about surrogacy from a friend who was on her second journey. The conversation left a lasting impression on Ashley. Inspired by the selflessness and beauty of the process, she decided to explore surrogacy further. After doing her research, she was introduced to Flying Stork Surrogacy.
“I heard stories of surrogacy that were just so beautiful. It made me want to look into it. That’s when I got connected with Flying Stork Surrogacy, and the rest is history,” Ashley shares.
The Rewards of Surrogacy
For Ashley, surrogacy was not just about helping another family but also about achieving her own family's goals. Financial freedom played a significant role in her decision. With the compensation she received, Ashley was able to support her family, pay off debts, and plan for their future. However, she also emphasizes the emotional rewards that come with giving a family the greatest gift of all—a child.
“What drives me is my family. By going through this process, I can bless someone else while also blessing my family in return. It’s a win-win situation. They get their baby, and I get to reach some of my own long-term goals, like buying a house,” says Ashley.
Building a Connection with the Intended Parents
Ashley’s initial concerns about her relationship with the intended parents (IPs) quickly disappeared once she experienced the seamless matching process at Flying Stork Surrogacy. Flying Stork Surrogacy’s thoughtful approach ensured that her values and personality aligned with those of her IPs, creating a foundation of trust and understanding.
“When I met my IPs, they were so kind and welcoming. I knew instantly that we were going to be a great match. They saw me as more than just someone carrying their baby—they valued me as a person.”
Despite hearing of challenges from other surrogates, Ashley’s match was positive from the very beginning, thanks to Flying Stork Surrogacy’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections between surrogates and intended parents.
The Surrogacy Process: A Journey of Patience
Surrogacy isn’t without its challenges, but Ashley approached each step with patience and a positive mindset. From taking medications to undergoing the embryo transfer, she remained dedicated to the process.
“The transfer was such an exciting day. I got to watch the doctor place the embryo into my uterus—it was such a surreal moment. The whole process has been a mix of excitement and patience, but in the end, it’s all worth it.”
Ashley advises anyone considering surrogacy to stay organized, communicate well, and embrace the responsibility of the journey.
Advice for Future Surrogates
Ashley’s journey has been deeply rewarding, and she encourages anyone interested in surrogacy to take the leap—but only for the right reasons.
“You need to be responsible, patient, and committed. This isn’t just about financial gain. You’re helping create a family, and that’s a beautiful thing.”
