Being More Social on Becoming a Surrogate
Becoming a surrogate mother is not an easy decision to make, but social media can help you navigate the surrogacy waters.
Whether you have questions about finding the right family or general concerns about the process itself, social networking can get you the answers you’re looking for from people who have been through the surrogacy process.
Here are just a few ways social media is a great resource when it comes to becoming a surrogate:
Firsthand Advice
The surrogacy process can be an overwhelming one, which is why firsthand advice on the matter is always helpful.
Social media is a great way to gather advice on being a surrogate mother, including what to expect throughout the process and whether surrogacy is the right thing for you.
There are a number of social pages on Facebook that are devoted to helping soon-to-be surrogates figure out the process.
Many of these pages include past surrogate mothers who have first-hand accounts and advice on what surrogacy is like. By joining surrogacy pages, you’ll have an open forum to the entire process.
Surrogacy Resources
Information is the key to deciding whether surrogacy is right for you.
Sure, a simple Google search on surrogacy will get you loads of information, but social media gives you an opportunity to find specific information from women who have been through the process.
By following surrogacy Facebook pages and Twitter feeds, you can get the most pertinent information on the surrogacy process.
In addition, posting questions to surrogacy social pages will result in helpful resources and responses from women who have experience with surrogate motherhood.
Surrogacy Questions
Speaking of posting questions, social sites like Facebook are a great place to pose questions to a community of helpful, experienced individuals.
As the following article shows, whether you want to know the 7 qualifications you need to become a surrogate mother such as the appropriate age and health status or you want to know the best way to find a surrogate family, social media is a great place to ask.
Surrogacy Stories
Hearing actual accounts of surrogacy can be very helpful during the decision-making process. Social media is the perfect place to read firsthand stories about conception, pregnancy, and the birth process on both a factual and emotional level.
In addition, families who have chosen surrogates also share their stories on social sites.
Reading about how helpful surrogate mothers are to families in need can really help you decide whether surrogacy is the right choice for you.
Social Support
Above all else, social media can provide you with much-needed emotional support during the decision-making process.
Whether it’s support from your friends and family or the surrogacy community, users on social sites like Facebook can offer endless support.
Surrogacy is an emotionally charged process, which is why it’s so important to have a support system from the day you choose a family to the day you give birth.
Social media and its surrogate followers can provide that emotional support regardless of where you are in the surrogacy process.
If you’re considering becoming a surrogate mother, let social media help you start the journey off right.
