After years of infertility treatments and heartache, for Lara and Lekan, the dream of starting a family seemed within reach when they decided to pursue surrogacy. They had received testimonials of friends and acquaintances having children through this process and were excited to embark on this journey; however, everything took an unexpected turn when one of their friends helped source a surrogate called Tolani.
Initially, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and all terms were agreed on. During one of the couple’s routine checkups with the surrogate, they found out that they would be having a set of twins. Tolani immediately expressed dissatisfaction with her living conditions and hoped to revisit the agreed terms, as the agreement was initially for one child. Despite their best efforts to address her concerns and provide support, Tolani became increasingly distant and eventually disappeared without a trace.
Lara and Lekan were in a state of panic and uncertainty. They frantically searched for Tolani, fearing for the safety of their unborn children and desperate for answers. Days passed with no sign of the surrogate, and the couple was worried. It was during this harrowing ordeal that Lara and Lekan realised the crucial role of surrogacy agencies.
Surrogacy agencies provide invaluable services, from matching intended parents with suitable surrogates, to navigating legal contracts and providing ongoing support throughout the surrogacy journey. In times of crisis, agencies serve as a lifeline, offering expertise, resources, and a sense of reassurance to intended parents like Lara and Lekan. Fortunately, with the help of their close friend, the couple were able to locate Tolani. Lara and Lekan’s story serves as a reminder of the intricacies and uncertainties inherent in the surrogacy journey.
While the road may be fraught with challenges, the support and guidance of surrogacy agencies can make all the difference for intended parents embarking on this life-changing journey.
