At Road to Baby, we’re here to guide you through every step of the surrogate mother process.

Initial Excitement and Commitment

When you first decide to become a surrogate, excitement is natural. The thought of helping another family grow fills you with a sense of purpose. During this phase, you may feel an overwhelming sense of pride as you begin the application process. The Road to Baby team is here to help you channel that excitement into a fulfilling journey, offering the emotional support and guidance you need from the start.

Building Relationships with Intended Parents

Once you’re matched with intended parents, emotions can intensify as you form a relationship with them. This connection often brings feelings of joy and responsibility, knowing that you are helping make their dreams come true. At Road to Baby, we believe in fostering healthy, open communication between surrogates and intended parents to strengthen this bond.

As your pregnancy progresses, emotions may shift. While you’ll likely experience happiness and fulfillment, it’s normal to have moments of doubt or anxiety. Our team is here to support you emotionally through every stage of pregnancy, offering counseling and peer support to ensure you feel understood and cared for.

Experiencing the Birth

The birth is a culmination of the surrogate mother process and can bring about mixed emotions. Along with joy, you may feel a sense of loss. At Road to Baby, we help you prepare emotionally for this moment, providing support and counseling as you transition from pregnancy to post-birth.
