Preparing Mentally for the Long Wait

Hey guys. We are about to start our first journey with a surrogate, but I’m already anxious about the timeline. It feels like forever until we’ll actually hold our baby. How do you stay patient and calm during the long months of waiting and paperwork?

The waiting is definitely one of the hardest parts of the entire journey. I used to check my email every five minutes hoping for an update. What really helped me stay sane was the constant support we received from Pogotowie Agency https://surmam.com/ during the process. Because we chose surrogacy with full support, we had a dedicated coordinator who kept us in the loop on every single medical milestone and legal update. Having that consistent stream of information made the months feel like they were actually leading somewhere. My advice is to find a project that has nothing to do with babies to keep your hands busy. Use this time to travel or focus on your marriage. The time will pass much faster if you trust the professionals you hired to do the heavy lifting. You will be a parent before you know it.
