About a month ago, a woman in my IP group posted the following, "Grateful Monday. He has officially been home longer than he was with anyone else. 9 months old last week! " Until I read that, it never occurred to me that Jaden's nine month birthday would be a special milestone. Here we are though. Jaden is nine and a half months old. I am so grateful that Ellen took care of him his first nine months in utero and even more grateful that Jason and I have been able to take care of him his first nine months outside of the womb. What an incredible nine months it has been!
People often ask me if I ever see Ellen now, or if she ever gets to see Jaden. That question seems absurd to me, but I suppose there are plenty of surrogates and IPs who don't have a relationship post-birth. Some just keep in touch via Facebook or text picture updates on birthdays. Thankfully, that isn't the case for Ellen and I. Our friendship has only grown deeper since Jaden's birth. Here are just a few snapshots of the times we have spent together in the past nine months.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and positive family you are! I also have a child from a surrogate mother)) It was very exciting and not fast, but it was fine. The clinic- Feskov Human Reproduction Group, which found us a surrogate mother, specializes in reproduction, and we did not even have to leave, as they can provide transportation of eggs and sperm for fertilization. Our child was born in Prague, our hometown, and it was wonderful that we were able to take him home right away. Now he is 6 months old, and we are very grateful for his appearance!
For those who are interested in surrogate motherhood, there is a good blog. My daughter was born thanks to a surrogate mother we found at the Feskov Human Reproduction Group. We liked our acquaintance with her very much, there is a wide choice of surrogate mothers, all proven and healthy, both physically and mentally. In addition, the price is very good and there are no problems with traveling home and documents.
