“I’m 27, and I feel devastated by the turn my life has taken. I’m lost and desperately searching for answers because I’m too emotionally overwhelmed to think clearly. That’s why I’m writing this letter, hoping that after I share my problem, someone might help guide me to the right path. I also want to warn other women who might find themselves in a similar situation— I wouldn’t wish my luck on anyone, not even my worst enemies…

Initially, my love life seemed perfect. I met David (30) when we were both in college. I had a crush on him from the moment I saw him, and to my surprise, he felt the same way. We’ve been together ever since. About six years ago, we mutually decided that we wanted to start a family.”
She learned the hard way she couldn’t have kids.

“When years of trying didn’t lead to a pregnancy, we decided to seek medical advice. We had tried for so long, but nothing happened. I felt so depressed and terrified. It was David who suggested we see a doctor, so we did.

The doctor ran some tests, and I was told that I couldn’t have children. My whole world came crashing down. I remember crying so often and at the most random times that I started to think I was losing my mind.”

“David tried to console me and distract me from my grief. He suggested adoption, but I wanted my own child. Then one day, it hit me: I’m infertile, but I’ve always wanted to be a mom, and surrogacy might be the best option for me. I discussed it with David, and he initially agreed. However, he started to hesitate when he realized how expensive the procedure was.

We were struggling financially at the time, and my mental health issues meant I couldn’t work properly. I talked about our situation with my parents and other close loved ones, including my cousin Amy. To my surprise, Amy offered to be our surrogate to help reduce the costs, and I couldn’t have been more grateful to her.”
