Wonderful words about surrogacy

Wonderful words about surrogacy

Today a client of mine sent this email to my office:


Can you please pass on to Stephen how immensely heartened and relieved I felt after speaking to him? I think until after the appointment I didn’t realise how much had dark and confusing for several months, and he helped me to see that with patience and flexibility we can work our way through this surrogacy thing, and most likely come away with a baby, which is what we want so deeply. I had been feeling this was really a long shot, but feel much more hopeful, in a realistic way, that we can get through this if we just take it one step at a time.
Wow!
