Hi! My name is Zara and my husband is Mike. I had a hysterectomy in 1994 (I was 23 years old) due to ovarian cancer, therefore we always knew our road to parenthood would not be "typical". Although I have always known surrogacy existed, I truly never thought to pursue this route as our means to parenthood. In March, 2002, a friend of mine suggested surrogacy after someone she knew was a surrogate and the experience was successful for everyone involved. When I heard this story and began researching, I soon realized that this was the route we should go. About 6 weeks after beginning the journey we found our wonderful GS, Alicia, and my friend, Julieta, offered to be our ED. This journal documents the details of our journey.....and beyond!

Where does the time go?
I honestly cannot believe it's been this long since I posted last... Wow.

Noah and Bella turned 4 on June 2. This is absolutely mind boggling to me. They are in pre-school now and they love it! It's so cute. It's so funny to me that when I envisioned becoming a mom I always envisioned the newborn stage, but really not much beyond that (I know, very strange) but I find myself loving each stage more and more, as they get older. They bring so much joy to our lives!! We're planning to get together with Alicia and family in October -- it seems we end up always planning our get-togethers in the fall time of year, ironic considering that is when these 2 were conceived... Still talk to Julieta frequently (as much as possible given we are both so busy!) She moved to TX and is doing great. We're hoping to plan a visit in November actually.

Everything else is going great -- the agency is doing very well and I feel extremely blessed to have a career that I find so fulfilling. I love being able to tell the kids that "mommy's business helps people have babies..." It's something I'm very proud of.

Happy Fall... and best wishes to All :)
