Surrogacy - Stories wanted UK

Steph • TTC for 10 years. 3 rounds of IVF. All failed. Hoping to conceive but looking at surrogacy.

Hey all. My SO and I have decided that surrogacy is the route we are going to persue. A friend of ours has offered to carry and now we are looking for clinics. I would love to hear from people who have been through the journey and if there is anything I need to look out for. I am in the UK so it is a different system to the US.
