Bay Area Surrogates - Active Surrogacy Experiences

Any surrogates in the Bay Area / NorCal willing to share their experience? Hey everyone - I'm a student journalist at Stanford researching surrogacy and I'd love to hear from people who are actively going through the process right now. Bay Area folks would be especially wonderful to connect with, but I'm interested in anyone across the Northern California region. Just looking for honest accounts of what it's actually like. What's been harder than expected? What's been rewarding? What do you wish more people knew? Feel free to comment or DM me. Happy to answer any questions about the story beforehand. Thanks!
