Stork's Journey: A Guide for Intended Parents considering Gestational Surrogacy sans Agency (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523343638)

This inspiring guide encourages couples who are looking beyond traditional fertility methods by detailing the ins and outs of the gestational surrogacy process-as experienced by a couple who decided to forgo agencies and do it all on their own.

Author M.L. Sejour and her husband wanted to start a family, but due to medical reasons, they were forced to look at alternatives to traditional pregnancy. After contacting a few surrogacy disillusioned with the long wait times and high cost; and with the one-year anniversary of freezing her embryos approaching, M.L. and her husband were unsure how much longer they could wait.

M.L. found herself researching more independent means of surrogacy-mainly, placing ads on a specialized website in an attempt to find qualified carriers.

For those interested in learning more about the process, M.L. has created Stork's Journey, a thorough rundown of her experience searching for, vetting, and ultimately using a surrogate-one who delivered a healthy and happy daughter.

While surrogacy agencies work for many, there are countless other couples who cannot afford-or who don't have the time-to take advantage of such services. For those couples, M.L. offers a ray of hope.
