Egg Donation & Surrogacy Consulting : Conceptual Options : Theresa Erickson : Embryo Donation, In-Vitro Fertilization

A judge in the state of Ohio took an encouraging step in the right direction for Assisted Reproduction Law. The judge ruled in favor of a single father, who used IVF and surrogacy to conceive his twins. However, he was not listed on the birth certificate; instead the surrogate was listed as the only known parent because Ohio state law did not recognize surrogacy. The judge in this case rule that the father’s name could be put on the birth certificate as the children’s biological parent. This is a huge step for surrogacy in the state of Ohio.

Today is Easter Sunday which typically is a day spent with family.  We usually have a quiet morning and then family starts to arrive for brunch and an afternoon together.  While everyone is at our house, the house is loud and the kids are running from one end of the house to the other.  By the evening everyone is ready to relax and sit quietly.

As a surrogate the holidays have an extra special benefit.  All four (4) families I have helped to have children call me on holidays.  All our lives get busy and the surrogate children, just like my own, grow bigger and have busier schedules.  Through out our day to day lives we don't always make the time to call each other.  So when we do get an opportunity to talk for 10 or 15 minutes it is always appreciated. 

Today when I was on the phone it was amazing to me that all but one of the children could wish me a Happy Easter on their own.  This was extra special.  I was able to talk with five (5) of the six (6) kids I had a hand in bringing into the world.  The sixth is too young, but I did get some baby talk out of her as well.  This makes my heart grow. 

It is moments like today that truly make me appreciate all I have.

Thank you for taking the time to review my blog.  My name is Tracy.  I am a Case Manager for Conceptual Options and have been a surrogate for four families. 

It is my intent to provide readers with positive aspects of assisted reproduction.  I plan to cover a wide spectrum of information and reference material that will assist people in understanding the process. 

I will also spend time sharing my experiences as a surrogate to educate people on the emotional side and aspects that make surrogacy so rewarding for the surrogate. 

I welcome comments and suggestions.  I would be happy to provide you with the information you want to see.
