Fact or Fiction: Common Myths About Becoming a Surrogate

Surrogacy is a life-changing journey, not just for intended parents but also for the incredible women who choose to become surrogates. However, despite its growing acceptance, many myths and misconceptions still surround the process. At Road to Baby, we’re here to set the record straight and help you understand what being a surrogate truly entails.

Myth 1: Surrogates Have No Say in the Process

One of the most common myths is that surrogates have little control over the surrogacy journey. In reality, surrogates are active participants in every step of the process. From choosing the intended parents to making decisions about your care, your voice matters. Road to Baby ensures that you are comfortable and informed throughout the entire journey, honoring your preferences and boundaries.

Myth 2: Surrogates Only Do It for the Money

While there are financial benefits to surrogacy, the decision to become a surrogate mother goes far beyond monetary compensation. Many surrogates are motivated by the desire to help others experience the joy of parenthood. At Road to Baby, we know that the emotional fulfillment and the deep connections formed during this journey are what truly drive our surrogates.

Myth 3: Surrogacy Is Risky for the Surrogate’s Health

Surrogacy involves careful medical oversight to ensure the health and safety of the surrogate. Before becoming a surrogate, you will undergo comprehensive health screenings to ensure you’re a good candidate for the process. Our team at Road to Baby works with experienced medical professionals to monitor your health closely throughout the pregnancy, prioritizing your well-being every step of the way.

Myth 4: Surrogates Become Emotionally Attached to the Baby

While it’s natural to develop feelings during pregnancy, surrogates understand from the beginning that the child they are carrying is not theirs. Surrogates at Road to Baby often describe a profound sense of fulfillment, knowing they’re helping someone else’s dream come true. Our support team is always available to help navigate any emotions that may arise during the process.
