How To Support A Friend Or Family Going Through Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is an amazing way to build a family, but it can also be a lot to go through. If someone you know is on this journey, here's how you can be a super supportive friend or family member. If you know anyone who is planning to take on the journey, why not recommend us to them?
Learn About Surrogacy
Learn about surrogacy so you can be a good friend. Check out the different types, the rules, and how it might feel for them. This shows you care and want to understand what they're going through.
Create A Space For Open Communication
Let them know you're there for them to talk about anything – good or bad, happy or scared. Just listen, be understanding, and let them know it's okay to feel whatever they're feeling.
Respect Boundaries
Some people like to keep things private, and others are happy to share. If someone's going through surrogacy, let them decide how much they want to talk about it. It's best not to ask lots of questions unless they seem open to it, and only offer advice if they ask for it.
Be Emotionally Present
Surrogacy can be a bumpy ride with lots of ups and downs. Be there for your friend through thick and thin, whether they're feeling unsure, sad, or super happy. Celebrate the good times together, like when the embryo transfer goes well or they hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time!
Keep Informed
Keep in the loop on how things are going! Learn about the different steps in the surrogacy process, from doctor's visits to important paperwork. This way, you'll know how to best support your friend and be prepared for any bumps in the road.
Be Their Cheerleader
Celebrate all the exciting moments along the way! Throw a party or get-together to show how much you care. It takes a lot of strength and bravery to go through surrogacy, so let them know how amazing they are!
Respect Their Choices
Remember, it's their journey, and they get to make the choices. Even if you have different ideas, the most important thing is to be there for them and support them all the way.
