Healthy female considering surrogacy...

Hi, Im not sure where to begin.
I have had several healthy, full term pregnancies. I feel that my own family is complete and am contemplating becoming a surrogate if a match can be found!!
My only interest in this is to help a family that desperately desires a child. How do I go about presenting such an offer to someone?

    Research your rear off.  There's a lot more to surrogacy than just having a healthy pregnancy.  Look around on some surrogacy message boards for a while (I would suggest a few months minimum before you even start looking).  Once you're ready to match with a couple you can look for an agency to match you or look independently.  How long ago did you deliver your twins?  How long did your OB say you needed to wait before becoming pregnant again?  If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them for you via PM, but "where to start" can be a very lengthy answer as a whole.

    I'm on the other end of things...but if you've researched for years, then you likely know your options in how to proceed. Seems you can go independently or through an agency and figuring that out is your next step. Good luck, its awesome you want to do this!
