Dawn Wickhorst, 33, first decided to become a surrogate in 2019 after discovering how many couples struggle to conceive naturally, but warned the process can be challenging. Dawn, from Alberta, Canada, said: 'As a surrogate, you're such an important part of the process, as you're the vessel that brings this child into the world. Dawn decided to become a surrogate after interviewing an author for a magazine about infertility. 'I decided to become a surrogate after my eyes were opened to how many people struggle to conceive,' she said. She said she found the experience incredibly rewarding – and didn't struggle with giving the baby up after giving birth.
