When my 60-year-old mom, Karen, decided to be a surrogate for our lovely daughter, it was a journey filled with love and wonder. Using at-home insemination techniques, we were able to create our family in a way that felt right for us. It’s amazing how many options there are for couples looking to start a family, and organizations like Make A Mom are leading the way, offering unique solutions like their reusable insemination kit for those on a fertility journey.
Resources for Your Fertility Journey
If you’re considering this path, I highly recommend checking out the Make A Mom website. They provide an easy-to-understand guide on how at-home insemination works with their how it works page, and they also have a fantastic support group on Facebook for those seeking a sperm donor—Make A Mom Group.
Using their resources, we felt empowered and informed as we navigated this process. For couples looking into intracervical insemination, their couples fertility journey offers comprehensive insights and the tools needed for success. There’s also a wealth of information online about pregnancy and home insemination, like what you can find at NIH Pregnancy.
Building Our Family
In the end, our family was built on resilience, love, and a little help from innovative approaches to fertility. If you want to read more about similar experiences, check out our post on home insemination for more inspiration.
So there you have it—my mom’s incredible journey as a surrogate has not only brought our daughter into the world but has also opened up conversations about alternative paths to parenthood that many might not know about.
