While I was pregnant with the twins I thought, I could do this again. Tracy and Ken had wanted more children. They still had embryos they could use. The issue with this union was that they had hoped to have another set of twins. They were enjoying the babies so much that they couldn't imagine having a baby that was a singleton I on the other hand wanted to carry another baby but did not want the high risk restrictions that multiples brought with them.
I had a wonderful conversation with Ken and Tracy, (Tom included) and decided to leave it open but for the time being I wanted to help another couple. I also knew that I wanted it to be a gay couple. Tracy was a supportive intended mother but I felt her sorrow about not being able to conceive through out my pregnancy. I knew with a gay couple that I would be helping to create a family without the added sadness. Infertility wasn't an issue with a gay male couple. They just didn't have the goods. I contacted Growing Generations a primarily gay surrogacy agency located in Beverly Hills LA.
Trevor was his name. He was a single gay man who wanted to have a baby. I received three profiles from the agency to pick from, the other two were male couples. I saw Trevor's profile and knew he was the one. He was tall, dark hair, with beautiful eyes. I joked with my husband it's a good thing he's gay and I'm married. Did I mention he was an actor? We flew out to LA to meet Trevor. The twins were only a few months old at this time. I was still flying high from the experience with Tracy and Ken. I was certain this was my next step. Tom and I instantly loved him. He introduced us to his family, it was as if we were all on a first date. The sparks flew, we all went through the medical procedures to get clearance to move forward. We got the seal of approval and planned to fly back out to LA for the transfer. I had privately decided that I would be a gestational surrogate but wanted to some day be a traditional surrogate. I felt like that would be the biggest gift I could give.
