Thinking about what 2025 may hold for you?

It’s that time of year, as the New Year approaches, when many of us reflect on the past and look ahead. While common goals include getting fit, some amazing women decide they will change someone else’s life– by becoming a surrogate.

Surrogacy is a serious undertaking and not something to be done lightly, but when it’s done with care and good support, it can transform the lives of would-be parents and their wider families, and at the same time bring immense fulfilment to surrogates and their families too.

If you are thinking of being a surrogate, we can help you from the very start to the very end. Our exclusive pre-match programme, managed by our surrogate manager Tracey, is designed to make confident, informed decisions about whether surrogacy is right for you and about the kind of journey you want to have. We give you all the time and care you need, with personalised guidance to answer all your questions across as many calls or meetings as you need. We will happily involve your partner and wider family too, and we will draw on input from the best professionals, including BICA-approved fertility counsellors, our in-house clinical psychologist, and our medical screening consultant.

From there we will match you with exquisite care with intended parents who are not only aligned on key issues, but selected as a match on the basis of your wishes, personality and values too.  Find out more about the unique way we match at Brilliant Beginnings. We want you to form a strong relationship, and we want to get the tricky conversations out of the way for you, so that you can focus on the positives, and the journey you are sharing together.  We will also make sure they can afford whatever you need financially to make it possible for you and your family to go through a surrogacy journey.

Our support doesn’t end at match either. Our client managers will be there for you through every step of getting to know each other, working through your agreement, having fertility treatment and the pregnancy and birth, managing practicalities for you and being an endless source of steady emotional support to help you keep things on track. Find out more about the support we offer, which gives you more time and care than any other UK surrogacy organisation.

At Brilliant Beginnings, we think surrogates deserve exceptional support, and our pioneering UK Surrogacy Pathway has always been designed to deliver it. Surrogates often have a history of giving back to their communities, whether through volunteering, mentoring, or other acts of kindness, and may see surrogacy as a natural extension of their commitment to helping others. But surrogacy is a complicated and emotional process, and surrogates don’t need to do it alone. Experienced professional support can help make their surrogacy journey as smooth as possible.

 The impact of surrogacy extends far beyond the birth of a child. It creates a ripple effect of positivity and gratitude that lasts a lifetime. For many intended parents, surrogacy is their last or only hope of having a biological child. The joy and gratitude they feel when their dream is realised are immeasurable. The bond between the surrogate and the intended parents often continues long after the birth. It highlights the power of selflessness, and the profound impact one person can have on the lives of others. Surrogates often describe their experience as one of the most rewarding of their lives. The sense of accomplishment and pride in helping create a family is unparalleled.

So if you are thinking about the possibility of becoming a surrogate in 2025, know that it’s a decision that requires careful consideration and preparation, but the rewards are immense. Reflect on your motivations and readiness for this journey. Consider the emotional, physical, and time commitment involved. Talk to your family and friends about your decision as their support will be invaluable throughout the process. And reach out to us – we will be happy to guide you through the process, with no commitment if you just want to explore the idea.

Here’s to a New Year filled with hope, joy, and the incredible power of giving back.
