How do intended parents truly bond with their child if they do not experience the pregnancy and birth themselves?
A. Just like a child that is adopted or fostered, children born through surrogacy are wanted and loved. They may not have “grew under their mother’s hearts… but they grew in it”. Children need to know that they are wanted and loved and in a nurturing environment they thrive. Children born through surrogacy have many people taking part in their creation with not only their parents, but a surrogate mother and her family, doctors, nurses, lawyers, and sometimes egg or sperm donors. It doesn’t get much more special than that!
