Researchers have found that when you don’t feel a sense of control, you’re less likely to form positive expectations of others, a key feature of trust.

And what is surrogacy? The very definition of lack of control. You are literally handing your embryo to another person to carry. And while you can stipulate all kinds of things in the contract, the reality is that this is the essence of lack of control.

There is so much trust in surrogacy and sometimes it does not come naturally. So many variables, so much out of your control. It’s only natural to feel hesitant to fully “trust the process”!
