We are a US couple that used a surrogate to become parents. These our the thoughts and experiences written by the new Father. We have just started another Surrogacy Adventure and will be sharing our story. Jon@SurrogacyTogether.com.

Since we are talking about other blogs that inspire a post I will point to Xbox4NappyRash: The seventh sense in which he talks about developing a 7th sense - the ability to see infertile people. I got it a little different - I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children. When I was a small child I would go to the beach and see other small children. Others like me to play with in the sand. Then as I got a little bit older I became interested in the basketball court near the beach and was aware of the other basketball players that where on the court. As a got still older, I became aware of the girls in the bikini's at the beach. All of a sudden they were everywhere - and they were the only ones on the beach. Recently, when I go to the beach I see Pregnant Women....And Small Children all over the place. I constantly have to work hard not to step on them as they play in the surf. These young families are new to the beach. They have never been there before now - yet now they are all of the...
When the Intended parent and Surrogate get involved in the process they normally hear two entirely different comments from friends, family, and strangers. The Surrogates hear: Your going to build a family for someone. Your going to give the gift of life. You are so special for doing that for someone. And you get paid - what a bonus. The Intended Parents hear: Isn't that expensive? How are you coming up with the money? It seems so unnatural does it really work? Do you really need more children? Why don't you adopt? What is so important about your DNA? Is she going to keep the baby? The baby is not really yours. Aren't you playing God? Some people just aren't supposed to have children. Aren't you worried about the surrogate doing drugs? Aren't you just using some poor women? Aren't you being selfish? Maybe, you should just get a puppy. That will cure everything. I am sure that I have missed a bunch. Please add your thoughts in the comment section.
Check it out! Someone thinks that I am inspiring. Really! go to Our Surrogacy Adventure and read how I inspired her post, but notice that I didn't inspire her enough to be added to her blogroll. This is what I am talking about when I say that we meet new friends on our adventure. This would be a prime example. Take note, if you women that are reading my blog want me to post more that is how you get it done - stroke my ego. Men really are that simple. Now here is my response to the heart of her post - why do I blog? This is the point when almost everyone says "so that friends and family can follow our journey". That's not me. I want my family to be able to enjoy the excitement of our new addition and don't want to take them on the rollercoaster ride with us. They are really supportive, but we have to go through enough already without taking our entourage with us every step of the way. We just want to give them the happy days. So then, who is the audience that I wa...
