This time of year is very exciting for New Surrogate Lindsay and her family who live on a 2,500 acre farm in rural Illinois.

“The kids are picking pumpkins and riding in tractors being our little helpers in the harvest season,” she said.

Other daily activities on the farm include feeding and playing with the animals. They have goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, an alpaca and several dogs and cats!

“Life on the farm is a great joy to teach the kids about nature and caring for animals.”

“Just last week we were able to show them the hatching of a baby chick and watch as it pecked its way out in to the world.”

Lindsay has been raising animals her entire life and says that, along with the experience of having her own children, is a central part in her wanting to become a surrogate.

“I want to help out a family who wants the same love and amazing memories that my children give to me.”

“To be able to give that gift of happiness to someone else is the greatest feeling in the world and I am looking forward to making their dream become a reality.”
