4 Amazing Benefits of Becoming a Surrogate
Imagine being out with your best friend, drinking a mochaccino at your favorite coffee shop. It is a time-old tradition for the two of you to meet there and share what is new in each other’s life. Suddenly, she tells you how she and her husband have been trying to conceive for a good amount of time but have been unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. She turns to you and asks you if you would consider becoming a surrogate (also known as a gestational carrier) for her. What should you do?
Consider that there are many benefits to becoming a gestational carrier. Overall, many gestational carriers experience a deep sense of personal satisfaction in knowing that they were able to help another fulfill their dream of becoming a parent. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others reach this goal, imagine being able to help your best friend, brother, or even a same-sex couple who are unable to carry a child of their own.

It takes someone special to carry a child for another, and the bond that is formed between you and your loved one would be life-changing.
