Resources for Surrogates

Social media is one of the most common ways to share life milestones, from engagements to new jobs — and for surrogates, it can also be a platform to share the surrogacy journey. Deciding to announce your surrogacy on Facebook, Instagram, or other platforms can feel both exciting and intimidating.

At Grace Surrogacy, we want every woman to feel empowered, respected, and supported in how she chooses to share her story. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you introduce your surrogacy decision on social media with confidence.

1. Determine Your Comfort Level

Before you post, decide how much of your journey you want to share. Remember, once something is online, it’s hard to take back. Create boundaries: make a list of what you’re comfortable discussing publicly and what you’d like to keep private.

2. Choose the Right Platform

Different platforms reach different audiences.

• Facebook is more family- and community-oriented.
• Instagram highlights visuals and stories.
• Private groups or even a separate account can allow you to control who sees your updates.

Choose the one that best aligns with your goals and audience.

3. Respect the Privacy of the Intended Parents

Always keep in mind that your journey is also part of theirs. Unless you’ve discussed it with the intended parents, avoid sharing their names, pictures, or private details.

4. Craft a Thoughtful Post

Your first post sets the tone. Consider including:

• A short explanation of what surrogacy is, for those unfamiliar.
• Personal reflections on why you chose this journey.
• Gratitude for the support you’re receiving from the intended parents or Grace Surrogacy.

Keep the tone positive, authentic, and personal.
