“I was a surrogate and the delivery was at home. Her mama and I cross nursed for a couple days (so yeah the nursing photo is me nursing a baby that isn’t mine) and I now pump and donate (albeit not for my surrobaby).” ~Kristina

Bio Parents meeting their precious baby…

Wow, what a gift you gave this baby and the family!

I love the last picture. “I’m just sitting here completely naked pumping milk.” I love that she wouldn’t mind a picture of that 🙂
Kristina
We were at a hotel, and I had just gotten out of the shower. I didn’t really see the point of clothes 😛
Grace
Yeah, you’ve got a pretty awesome openness about your body, going for the bottom-in-the-air birth shot and the naked pumping shot. More of us (women) should be as relaxed about our bodies.

Lovely.
I talked to my husband about being a surrogate. He is convinced I would not be able to handle it emotionally. I cannot imagine how challenge it would be. Good for you, and congratulations to the family that you birthed.
Samantha
I have given serious thought to being a surro-mom one day. And I would only do it if the parents would be okay with a home birth. 🙂 You are a strong woman and gave an amazing gift!

I wanted to be a surrogate, but was told that I was overweight and that made me a bad candidate… 🙁 Broke my heart. Congrats to you for giving the gift of life! I admire you!! Congrats to the new parents <3
