Because surrogacy is still a fairly new process, those who have not been directly involved in the process will likely not understand what you, as a surrogate, will go through. No matter how supportive your friends and family are of your decision, it’s not quite the same as receiving support from someone who has actually been through the process. Fortunately, there is a growing community of surrogates around the world. If you’re interested in connecting with a fellow surrogate, all you need to do today is go online. There are plenty of surrogacy support groups for you to join and learn from, no matter where you are in your surrogacy journey. However, it’s important to remember to contact a surrogacy professional in addition to these online support groups. While these groups will be helpful for connecting with other surrogates, not all of the information posted online may be completely accurate or apply to your own surrogacy situation.
