For years, my partner and I dreamed of starting a family. Unfortunately, in Canada, adoption options for same-sex couples are quite limited compared to the U.S. Instead of enduring a long and uncertain wait, we found a wonderful woman willing to be our surrogate.
In our search for a more effective way to conceive, we learned about various traditional fertilization kits that are inexpensive but often yield disappointing results. We were tired of leaving our family plans to chance and wanted a solution that would enhance our chances of success. While exploring options online, we stumbled upon a video from MakeAmom that showcased their unique approach. It reassured us that it was okay to feel overwhelmed by the process. We decided to give them a shot, especially after having already invested significantly in medical procedures and legalities.
When our kit arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the straightforward instructions and user-friendly design. Our surrogate felt at ease using the product, and the light-hearted instructions helped alleviate some of the stress we were feeling. It took a few attempts, so I recommend purchasing several kits to reduce anxiety and ensure you have what you need.
The moment we saw that little plus sign on the pregnancy test was surreal! We visited the clinic the next day—still trying to keep our excitement under wraps as it had only been a month, and we knew that many things could still go awry. But this journey would not have been possible without the support of the MakeAmom community. With cautious optimism, we recognize how far we’ve come thanks to their resources and encouragement.
