Maybe that was part of the reason I thought I'd be "tossed aside". A lot of people didn't know they had a surrogate. Because of their culture, I was a secret to some. They thanked me again for everything I had done and were so grateful because without me they would not have their daughter. What really touched me was the Christmas card I got about a year and a half after she was born. It's been 3 1/2 years now and I still get e-mails, pictures, Christmas cards, etc. But when she was born, I thought it would be, "Thank you very much, have a nice life.". I didn't need the contact, I just hoped for it. It would be nice, but it's not mandatory. Towards the end however I felt I would be tossed aside. Now, there's nothing saying that either side has to keep in contact. With my first surrogacy I had a pretty good experience.
If you're lucky, you get a great set of intended parents who keep in touch. All I have to do is think about it and I smile.
When you are sincerely appreciated and thanked because you were the key to opening that door, it's an overwhelingly awesome feeling! Your heart becomes so full. When you get to see a couple become a family, it's a wonderful sight. For now I want to say what a blessing it is for me as a surrogate to be a part of something so amazing. I will talk about what I can in other posts.
I know many of you are curious about my adventures in surrogacy and have many questions.
