The past two years have been difficult on everyone, but if we are lucky, we have become stronger mothers (parents), more resilient and grateful for what we do have, which is family. Imagine if you were unable to have a child or start the family you always dreamed of? Sadly, this is a reality for many parents and the need for gestational surrogates now is higher than ever. Surrogates are generously compensated and becoming a surrogate is a great opportunity to provide for your family to give the gift of having a child to a deserving family. I would call that a win-win! Surrogacy is a gift, an act of kindness and a service where you can also earn up to $80,000 plus a $2,500 Vacation Bonus. Surrogates are compensated financially for their labor, literally! The gift of surrogacy is impossible to monetize. Surrogates are growing more than a life, they are growing a family and fulfilling a dream for hopeful intended parents who are yearning to raise a child. Whether you have been a surrogate before, considered becoming a surrogate in the past or know absolutely nothing about what surrogacy entails and are interested in learning more about the process, we invite you to join us on Thursday, Oct. 21st at 11:30 AM for a special Facebook Live interview with Dawn Galbo the Founder and President of USA Surrogacy International. This will be an open forum an authentic and FUN Facebook Live opportunity where you can learn more about all things surrogacy. During the FB Live we will cover the following: (but not limited to) – What is gestational surrogacy? – What is involved in the application process for a surrogate? – Intended Parents – who are they? – USA Surrogacy International’s Individualized Matching Approach Surrogate Qualifications – what are they? (One of the qualifications for becoming a surrogate is that you must have given birth to a child of your own that you have raised or are currently raising, in order to become a surrogate). Want to send in a question ahead of time? Email NikI@sandiegomoms.com. We will also be answering any questions during the Facebook Live, in real time.
