How a day at white water world started turning my dream into a reality

Well next part to my journey started in September 2013 when I was sitting watching my children laugh and play at white water world.

Made me realize just how lucky I truly was to be given such a gift.

I honesty could not imagine my life without my children and this made me again think of all the couples who could not experience this.

So then and there I put the question out there on Springfield lake mummies fb page of if it was legal to become a surrogate and if so how do I go about it.

Within minutes I had a few responses, of people saying how amazing I was to want to offer this to someone but to me honestly I just feel I was meant to offer this gift to someone, deep down I know it’s amazing but it’s so natural for me to want to do this if that makes sense?

I then got given a reply with some great information and was told about the Surrogacy Australia page, I went and joined it and put my story out there saying I wanted to become a surrogate.

I looked over the page and read some truly amazing and sad stories, so much heartache but in between it you see the success stories from surrogacy and so much love and support from everyone on the page

I started to get excited that my dream was finally starting to take form and the first big step had happened with writing my first post.

I got emails from about 4 couples and to be honest the hardest part about this whole journey has been picking just one family to help, they all deserved to become parents and to raise a child,

I did however pick one lady that just felt right from the start and we talked for a bit via fb about everything and anything the conversation just seemed to flow, we didn't have to talk just about surrogacy which I liked.

After talking for a bit we then arranged to meet up with both our partners and it felt like we all knew each other for ages and was great as they were both into cycling one of the things my hubbies enjoys so gave them something to talk to him about 

We meet each other on 20 October 2013 and talked for 6 hours non stop over general things and thing that both of us wanted out of this journey like what we would and would not negotiate about, we were both on same page about so many things it seemed like a perfect match!

We both walked away from that afternoon feeling great but nothing was said about if we would take next step I wanted to see what hubby thought and I’m sure they also wanted to talk alone.

Once in car my hubby n I looked at each other and said yep they the ones and I messaged them and they replied the exact same.

we got the ball rolling start of November 2014.
