For Bridget Romero, serving others has always been part of who she is.
As a veteran, Bridget brought the discipline, resilience, and sense of purpose she developed through military service into an entirely new chapter of her life: becoming a surrogate.
What started as a quiet feeling that she might be called to help another family eventually became a journey that would change her life and create a lasting friendship.
Finding Her Calling
Bridget describes surrogacy as something that started with a whisper. The idea stayed with her and continued to grow until she realized carrying a baby for another family was something she genuinely wanted to do.
Her military background had already taught her how to commit to something bigger than herself, follow a process, and stay focused even when things became challenging. Those skills became incredibly valuable throughout the IVF and surrogacy journey.
Balancing Surrogacy and Single Motherhood
Becoming a surrogate while raising a child came with its own set of challenges. Bridget had to balance appointments, IVF, pregnancy, and the everyday responsibilities of being a mom.
But she also found that her experience had prepared her for the structure and commitment required.
Surrogacy was not simply something she was doing. It became another opportunity to serve, this time by helping intended parents build the family they had been hoping for.
More Than a Surrogacy Journey
One of the most meaningful parts of Bridget’s story is the relationship she developed with her intended parents.
Their gratitude for what she was doing eventually grew into something more. The connection became a friendship that extended beyond the pregnancy and delivery.
For Bridget, that relationship was a reminder that surrogacy is about more than the medical process. It is about people, trust, connection, and the incredible relationships that can come from helping create a family.
A Message for Future Surrogates
Bridget hopes other women considering surrogacy will recognize the power of their own calling.
Her story shows that there is no single reason women become surrogates. For some, it is a desire to help another family. For others, it may feel like a calling that grows over time.
For Bridget, it was another way to serve.
