Let me share a rather hilarious but stressful Surrogate's transaction I had.
I run a surrogacy agency. I am mainly based in Abuja and Lagos. Earlier this year I got a message from a lady let's call her Victoria. She was Abuja based and wanted to be a Surrogate. I began communicating with her. Some days later I see a text on my phone from her number which I had not saved. It sounded romantic. I didn't realise it was her number so I thought "who is this again?"

Then she called with the number and I blasted her her telling her how unprofessional and weird that text was and I do not think I should work with her anymore. She begged and apologised. I then went further to tell her that I had no Abuja vacancies either. She said she will come to Lagos. I told her I neither had accommodation nor assurance of Lagos, she said no problem. I said No. I was really getting bad feelings about her.

A month later I was in Lagos and I get a call from her saying she was in Lagos and wanted to come to my office and I was like seriously?
Well she did appear. She met another Surrogate applicant the day she came in. After a regular briefing, I take them both to the diagnostic center for pre tests as part of their application process. She obviously gets the other lady's contact. Her pre tests were OK. I put her in transport to go to her place and I will get back to her. She began making entreaties requests with her eyes like a lover for transport fare home. I cleared her or thought I did.
Victoria, you knew what you requested for when you insisted on doing this etc. She was really embarrassing me. An hour later, she calls me to tell me how she was stranded returning home and a stranger had to borrow her money.

At that point I really should have cut off things despite cost of tests I had spent. Nonetheless I continued. Maybe out of sympathy for the sacrifice she has put to get to Lagos.
After she had passed our other accessement tests and she started treatment in the fertility clinic she began writing complaining about her accommodation and her host that she was being almost killed that I should find place for her to stay. Mam what is this? You are not pregnant yet, be grateful for your host, put your head down and manage the place.
Then she calls the other Surrogate she met, tries to use her mum in Uyo to guilt trip her to beg her to move in with her.
She writes and complains and I eventually had to restrict her number.

One day I offer her a single room telling her she will pay for it indirectly but when or if she is pregnant she will get a real accommodation. Aunty say no except its flat and in her area that she wants to find a job that do I know how she has been feeding? I say wow.
Then one day at the hospital still on pre transfer medication, she says she saw vacancy for cleaner in same hospital and applied and got the job etc.

Victoria are you reasoning well at all? How can you be a Surrogate and a cleaner? Where is the rest? Didn't we discuss this? And even where you want to do ivf? She starts with the complain of I don't know how she is feeding. I threaten to change her at the center. The process continues. I had to send her money for anti malaria one day as directed by the clinic, she didn't buy it for days and I had to force her to buy it by insisting on pictures.

Transfer was around the corner, she was given last dose of drugs, then she starts another round of complains about how they told her to eat well, how will I solve it? How the drugs make her eat too much, how will I solve it?

Then one day she says "the matron said I am cancelled, that they saw blood". Victoria, what happened really? She cannot explain.

Well, the matron saw her as irrational as I would in her shoes(she mentioned the cleaner job to her and blames the matron till today for not letting her take the job saying she reported her to union that she is a Surrogate for a person there etc), yes she saw blood but that could be worked on as has been done in similar cases in the past and all things put together with the IP decided to change the Surrogate yes even without informing me so I lost money.

I lost a client, money and wasted time but I don't regret her being cancelled. The stress was already this much at this stage, imagine if pregnancy occurred!

Oh she writes me everyday now with forwarded daily greetings, she once asked me if I will see another IP to link her up to. I am like seriously? When I am not on ment.

Beautiful day to you.
