Surrogate Spotlight – Katrina

Curious About the Journey to Becoming a Surrogate Mother?

We're thrilled to share the story of Katrina, a remarkable woman whose experience was defined by feeling safe, finding an incredible support system, and forming a lifelong bond with her Intended Parents (IPs). Read her answers to some of the most common questions below!

Why did you choose to be a Surrogate?

I chose to be a Surrogate because I had seen a family member struggle with their own fertility and I wanted to help families that were unable to have children on their own.

Why did you choose Creative Conception, Inc?

I chose Creative Conception, Inc. because I felt very comfortable and safe. I never once felt pressured into becoming a surrogate, and I appreciated their transparency with everything from who qualifies to how the journey would be.

Did your family support your choice to become a Surrogate?

My husband's support was absolutely essential; I couldn't have done this journey without him! My friends and family were all on board as well, which made all the difference.

What has surprised you most about being a Surrogate?

I think there have been a couple of things that have surprised me.

First would be the amazing support groups of women and families going through both sides of the journey. Because surrogacy isn’t extremely common, I thought I was going to feel more alone, but I didn’t. There are so many women out there to just support others through this process.
The second thing that surprised me is how incredible my friendship with my IPs became. I knew I wanted to stay connected, but I didn’t realize how close we would become, and I am so blessed to have them.

What has been the highlight(s) of being a Surrogate?

Definitely being able to give someone a family or grow their family. Also, being able to call my IPs friends and knowing that I wanted to do everything to make it to the end goal. And now, being updated weekly with beautiful photos of my surro babies and seeing them grow is a highlight that continues.

How has your relationship been with your Intendeds or Intended Parent?

I was blessed with AMAZING Intended Parents, and Creative Conception, Inc. did an incredible job matching me with the perfect family. I talk to them frequently and get updates often. We are even planning trips together. It really feels like an extended part of my family that I didn’t know I was missing.

What advice would you give someone interested in becoming a Surrogate?

I would definitely recommend doing as much research as possible before beginning and fully understanding what the surrogacy process entails. Make sure that you advocate for yourself and ask lots of questions. And, of course, going through Creative Conception, Inc. would be the best first step! :)

Would you become a Surrogate again?

Absolutely, 100%. I would do it again without question.
