At 26, I entered marriage with hope, believing love would be enough, but by 31 I had endured six miscarriages, an empty marriage, and the silent fear of never becoming a mother. I lost myself trying to meet expectations that were never truly mine, and the pain nearly broke me, but it also gave me the courage to choose differently.
I chose surrogacy, not as an escape, but as an act of love and strength, and today my daughter is mine in every way that matters. Marriage is no longer my goal, I now choose peace, purpose, and the joy of being present for my child. People may talk, but they never carried my pain, I did, and I rose.
