I hit record thinking I was just going to share a sweet message from our surrogate about her birthday gift. I was not prepared for what she wrote next. Stick with me for this one. It’s an unedited look at the real, human side of this process, beyond the logistics and the science. It’s about connection, gratitude, and the profound generosity of a woman who is giving us the greatest gift in the world. To our surrogate: thank you for trusting us, for letting us in, and for being on this journey with us. We are endlessly grateful for you. And to this community: thank you for creating a safe space where I can share these moments. Your support means more than you know. #surrogacyjourney #gratitude #ivfjourney #twodads #modernfamily #vulnerability
