Surrogacy

I became really good friends with a co-worker of mine. When we first me we it was like we had known each other forever. She was working in a office for a Cardiologist. I had gone in to apply for a receptionist position, I remember walking in and and she asked me right off, are you applying for the receptionist position "yes I am I". She said don't bother I am the one that will determine if I want you to be sitting next to me the doctor always ask me what my opinion is. I got hired on the spot.
As time passed we became very good friends. She told that she had married her high school sweetheart, and had been married for 10 years. I thought that was awesome. We were 26 years old. I mentioned to her that I just had a baby and had a 4 year old. This is when she came out and told me that was unable to have children. She suffered with Edometriosis, and had a hard time getting pregnant and staying pregnant. She also had to suffer with the miscarriage which she did a couple of times with in two to three months into her pregnancy. She also informed me that Invetro fertilization was another option but expensive. Me being "fertile myrtle" or just drinking the waters as people say I could get pregnant easily. Prior to me having my second child I had a miscarriage, I was three months pregnant. So in a sense I new her sadness and frustration of having a miscarriage, being so difficult for her to get pregnant. I asked her if they ever thought of adopting they said that wanted one of their own, but that was the last alternative if it came to not ever being able to carry. Then I asked her what she thought about surrogate mothers, she said that if they had never considered it, but maybe. I put myself out there and I let her know that I would become a surrogate mother for them. She was surprised that I would have said that. I told her that I meant it, and I would do that for them, its not that I wanted the money or even thought about them paying me for it. I wanted them to complete their life and wanted them to have a child of their own. I wanted to give them the gift of life. All three of us had several conversations and they new that I was very willing and serious of being there surrogate mother. They decided that they were going to wait, that maybe it was not time for them to be parents. I let them know that when and if they ever needed me I would be at their side.
Years have passed I got married and moved to Indianapolis. We still kept in contact. She informed she had stopped the medications and she had two Invetro's done, and was unsuccessful. They stopped trying a couple of years later they finally got pregnant and were blessed with a baby girl of their own.
I think that it is a blessing for couples to meet women that are willing to be a surrogate mother.
We all have a purpose in life and we are here for a reason, why not share your life,and gifts with other people, isn't that why we are here?
