Do I invite my Surrogate to my Baby Shower?
At Private Label Surrogacy, we often receive questions from intended parents about including their surrogates in pregnancy celebrations, particularly baby showers.
As an agency primarily staffed by former surrogates, we bring a unique perspective to this topic that comes from firsthand experience.
Baby showers are more than just gift-giving occasions; they're celebrations of the incredible journey you're on together. Our team members who have served as surrogates fondly remember being included in these special moments. The joy of seeing the excitement in the intended parents' eyes, sharing in the anticipation with family and friends, and feeling truly appreciated as an integral part of this miraculous journey is unforgettable.
Including your surrogate in your baby shower acknowledges the profound connection that develops during a surrogacy journey.
It's a beautiful gesture that shows recognition of the significant role they play in helping create your family. Many surrogates describe these moments as highlights of their surrogacy experience, reinforcing their sense of purpose and the meaningful impact they're making.
While every surrogacy relationship is unique, and comfort levels may vary, we've consistently seen that including surrogates in these celebrations strengthens the bond between intended parents and surrogates. It creates lasting memories and adds another layer of warmth to an already extraordinary relationship.
Remember, there's no obligation either way – it's entirely up to what feels right for your specific situation. However, in our experience, when intended parents extend this invitation, it often becomes a cherished memory for everyone involved.
If you have delicate questions about your journey as an IP or as a Surrogate, drop them into our Surrogate Hotline, and you will get personalized answers back from our CEO Nancy Block and Dr. Mark Silverberg.
