Did you have any other, that's a pretty big one of not being able to give up the baby, but what were some other fears that may have crossed your mind, were you scared for your safety?
We were scared of what happens if something happens to the parents and we have this baby? For us, we were like we will gladly take care of the baby, but we were very adamant about knowing the grandparents and aunts and uncles, we just wanted to know that in case something happened to her parents, they had a plan of who would take the baby and we knew who that was. So we all had our emergency contact list in case anything happened. That was actually a big thing we worried about a lot. We were worried about what if something happens to me. Before we did the transfer, when we were in contracts, someone had mentioned well what happens if you get in a car accident and you end up brain dead, here you are pregnant with this baby, do you stay on life support? So you know, that was a big talk that all of us had together. I did not want to make my family suffer by having me on life support, but you know we also didn't want to take away their baby if that happened. So we made a plan that we all agreed upon, if we were in the third trimester and there was a car accident or something horrible happened that I would be on life support until the baby was born and that before that, we all agreed that it would not be fair to my family. So we talked about that. There is always the fear of money, what happens if my parents run out of money and I have $20,000 in medical bills. That is very scary. So that, and I say this to anyone who wants to do a surrogacy that they need to have a good contract, they need to have an escrow company. If you do an independent journey you need to know what you are doing and you need to make sure you have everything set up to protect yourself because that is very scary. The fear of your credit going bad and owing all this money...

And having a kid on top of it, that is not yours.
Yes, all of that is very scary. So just having those plans. I saw that one of your questions was what would you recommend? Doing the research and having a plan. That is definitely what we recommend. In our family at least, knowing what you are getting into and knowing how you would deal with any situation that could arise in advance, not just when it happens.
