Defining the Maternal Role
Following on from our previous blog post, inspired by a recent BBC show which raised the debate about whether a surrogate is a mother, this blog explores that theme in more detail
At My Surrogacy Journey, our members come first. Since we launched in 2021, we’ve been on a mission to change the landscape of surrogacy and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
How are we doing it? Well through our founders own lived experience of surrogacy, we’ve developed an agency like no other, where we support intended parents from all destinations.
We know that choosing surrogacy to grow your family can be scary, that it may not be what you originally envisioned and after hours of research you still might not know where to start. That’s what we’re here for – to support you and your surrogate from the very beginning. We’ll walk or run with you, laugh or cry with you – it’s what we do.
At My Surrogacy Journey we have the most innovative membership for surrogates, specifically tailored to a surrogates health and well-being support needs.
You might be making that amazing first step to become a surrogate for intended parents that you don’t know yet, allowing us to match you. Or you might have offered to become a surrogate for a friend or family and want to find out more about it. Whichever path you’re on, we can support you.
MSJ was created following our founders’ own lived experience of surrogacy. They have two children born through surrogacy and throughout their journeys they witnessed first hand the lack of support available throughout.
They created a surrogacy agency like no other. Thinking of your needs at every step of the journey. At MSJ we provide all our members with a full concierge membership tailored to the journey you’re on. We have a dedicated membership team there to support you from day one. We’re unique in having our own Clinical and Governance Director, making sure every step of your journey is safe and considered and she’s there to answer your questions along the way.
We are My Surrogacy Journey®
It all starts with a conversation. So if you’re thinking about becoming a surrogate or you’re an intended parent considering surrogacy, book a time for a no obligation chat with one of our membership team.
We’ve been right where you are, right now. This is why our new intuitive app has been created to support you like no other surrogacy agency.
Our app provides personalised spaces to meet the needs of all our members. One place to educate yourself, to speak to other members and in private with our team. The same place where we’ll hold virtual events and organise in-person events.
We have created a network that ensures that communication with our members is at the heart of all we do. Why not download it now and take a look around. If you become a member of MSJ, a whole wealth of content will become available through our app.
