[quote=Anonymous]Surrogates aren't necessarily low-income women. My GC, whom I found through an agency, was a middle-class college-educated professional married to another middle-class college-educated professional. They owned a home, had stable jobs plus had turned their hobbies into side hustles, etc. Good agencies have both GCs and intended parents write profiles, and the GCs are the ones who pick which IPs they want to work with. My GC had enjoyed being pregnant, didn't want to have more kids, and wanted to help out another couple. (I think she was originally hoping to choose.a pair of gay men, but ended up picking us instead.) We had a lovely relationship through the pregnancy and have remained in touch and friendly years later. (She lives in another part of the country but we meet up when they take the occasional DC vacation or when we're passing through their state on a vacation.)

Just a gentle reminder that the GC relationship is not as simple as rent-a-womb. Our relationship with our GC (and between our families) made us feel like we shared more of the pregnancy and birthing experience, and the memory books she kept for us are very much treasured.[/quote]
