Imagine a world bubbling with love.
More love.
More kindness.
More joy.
What can I do? How can I make this be?
Your heart needs your rainbow baby.
My heart wants to help.
More love.
More kindness.
More joy.
My family is complete.
My heart bursts with red love, a field of poppies overflowing;
Orange thankfulness, an autumn tradition;
Yellow joy, the sun illuminating a darkened sky;
Green luck, a wheelbarrow full of four-leaf clovers because we found each other;
Blue compassion, the tears that fall as you grieve your losses;
Purple generosity, a ribbon on a gift meant just for you.
I am flawed. I am human.
But this, I can do for you.
My growing belly.
Our growing hearts.
A precious gift, safe in your arms after nine cozy months with me.
Your rainbow baby, bringing you sunshine at last.
More love.
More kindness.
More joy.

Signs
Present Day Another gust of wind whips through the trees, a kaleidoscope of autumn leaves scattering across the path ahead of me. The familiar crunch of the pine needles beneath my feet brings me comfort, along with the knowledge that I am almost there. I pull my lightweight cardigan, the rich color of rubies, tightly around me, fending off the brisk air. Soon I will burst through the trees and the sun will warm my goosebumps away.

Diaries to Nietzsche
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

We had been thinking about starting a family for a long time, and surrogacy in Ukraine was an eye-opener for us. It was very important for us to be able to participate in the selection process of the surrogate https://nccconline.org/directions/8-main/ukraine and to have contact with her throughout the pregnancy. We evaluated the transparency and clarity of the whole procedure, including the financial aspects. It was not easy to cope with emotional distress during the waiting period, especially when there were moments of uncertainty or delays. However, our baby came into the world and all the difficulties seemed petty compared to the joy we experienced. We are grateful to everyone who helped us realize this miracle.
Guys, has anyone ordered surrogacy in Ukraine? What are the reasons why people turn to surrogacy in Ukraine? What legislative and medical conditions govern the process of surrogacy in Ukraine? What ethnic, cultural or economic factors influence the demand for surrogacy in this country?
