How to congratulate a surrogate mother

Unfortunately, not all women who choose to be a surrogate receive support or approval from their friends or family.

If you know someone who has recently decided to be a surrogate, one of the kindest things you can do for her is show her your love and support for her decision. There are some things to keep in mind as you congratulate her:

Make it obvious that you respect her decision
Show her and tell her you’re proud of her
Express how much of a blessing she is for the intended family
Offer your assistance if there’s anything she may need help with

How to thank a surrogate mother

Finding the right words or gesture can seem impossible to do when it comes to thanking a surrogate mother. She has given you the greatest gift that anyone can ever give, and there’s simply no words to show your grattitude.

Here are a few thoughtful ways you can thank a surrogate mother for carrying your child:

Write a heartfelt letter: take the time to write a beautiful letter with your own handwriting expressing your gratitude.
Give her a thoughtful, surprise gift: include things that mean a lot for her, this will show that you paid attention to the small things that make her happy.
Support her in every step of the pregnancy journey: your help and support should be your go-to for showing your surrogate mother how grateful you are for what she is doing for you. Be there for her every step of the way so she doesn’t feel alone.
