Right when I first came to know about my infertility issues, I thought of pursuing surrogacy to achieve parenthood. Yet, I had my concerns in mind and this is where I connected with a reputed surrogacy agency. On the other side, I knew that navigating the path to parenthood through surrogacy can be both exhilarating and daunting. My journey was no exception, and it almost took a turn for the worse when I unknowingly came close to engaging with an illegal surrogacy agency. Moreover, this experience taught me the importance of vigilance, research, and due diligence in such a sensitive process. Here’s how I almost saved myself from dealing with an illegal surrogacy agency during my surrogacy journey. Also, it’s not just about saving myself from a malicious entity, it’s also connecting with a more reputed and recognized surrogacy agency with due research later on.
