Emotional Health throughout Surrogacy

After the last un-matching I decided to take a month or 2 and focus on my life and not focus on surrogacy.
Just as in  relationships; in surrogacy  I needed to center and establish my heart in where I am, what I learned from the experience and how I will proceed in the future.  Now that I have done that.

I am now back to actively looking for a match.

Some things have changed for me.
#1 I gained 30 pounds from the IVF meds and birth control.. no bueno for me... I have gotten back on track and have already lost 9 pounds .. but it got me thinking. The medications are SO unnecessary.

#2 I really would like to do surrogacy naturally.. with traditional surrogacy.  In Utah it is not illegal to do traditional, just not legally recognized and cant get a PBO. I found how it is worked around. There is still a  surrogacy contract, however the only change is when the baby is born the father is put on the Birth Certificate and the mother will do step parent adoption. The surrogacy contract would clarify custody and agreement so that the IP's are protected.

It has never been an issue for me to think of doing traditional however I hadn't seriously considered it due to my perception of the laws here.

#3 I am excited to look and open up to new IP's :)
