She believed she could so she did

I am so excited that we will be reviewing our contracts this weekend so hopefully by next week we can all sign them which will move us into the next step.

I think one of the top 3 questions I get asked is how will I explain this to our children and I usually respond that I will keep it honest and simple once we past the first trimester. I also plan on getting them this book so we have something floating around the house as they have interest to talk about it or ask questions. 

The Kangaroo Pouch introduces young children, ages 2-to-8, to the concept of surrogacy. The story is narrated by a young kangaroo named Oliver whose mother has decided to help another family have a baby. The Kangaroo Pouchgently guides the reader on the surrogacy journey and answers questions they may have such as, why would someone choose to be a surrogate? What will family life be like during the pregnancy?  And most importantly, what happens when the surro-baby is born and given back to their biological parents?

The Kangaroo Pouch is designed to act not only as a conversation starter, but also as a "how-to" manual for children to refer to throughout the surrogacy journey. The book has been reviewed by child specialists to ensure that it conveys age-appropriate messages.

The reason I entered into this journey is because we as a family are complete and our life is settled enough to now help someone else start a family of their own. Just the thought that I can help someone else have this priceless gift of parenthood makes my heart warm over with happiness.
