A Surrogate’s Thanksgiving: Gratitude That Grows a Family

A Surrogate’s Thanksgiving: Gratitude That Grows a Family Blog Post from Conceptual Options

This Thanksgiving, while most of us gather around turkey and pumpkin pie, Surrogates at Conceptual Options are cradling something even more precious: someone else’s miracle. You’re not just growing a baby—you’re growing love, hope, and an entire family’s future.

Every kick you feel is a reminder of the extraordinary gift you’re giving. And every Intended Parent who texts “How are you feeling today?” is whispering thank you in the only way they know how until they can say it while holding their child.

We see you showing up to Thanksgiving dinner with stretchy-waist leggings and a heart twice its normal size. We see you smiling through the “When are you due?” questions while protecting the beautiful secret that this baby already has parents waiting with nursery walls painted and lullabies practiced. We see you choosing cranberry sauce over wine, extra naps over late-night pie, because every decision honors the promise you made.

This year, gratitude feels different. It’s in the ultrasound photo tucked in your purse. It’s in the group chat lighting up with Intended Parents sending early “Happy Thanksgiving” messages and gift cards for maternity jeans. It’s in your own children learning that family isn’t only about blood—it’s about choosing to love fiercely.

At Conceptual Options, we’re thankful for every surrogate who says yes to this journey. So light the candles, pass the mashed potatoes, and know this: somewhere across the table—or across the country—a family is already giving thanks for you. You are the answer to their deepest prayer.

From our family to yours, thank you for making Thanksgiving mean more than one day. Thank you for making it mean forever.

With endless gratitude,
The Conceptual Options Team
