With three years into our journey to parenthood, two surrogates, five transfers, and frustration; I should have learned that I can't control everything. But when the test came back positive, I wanted to have a plan. Silly me. Three weeks early, we got the news that the birth had sped up. We flew at midnight, but our baby girl had already been born, and I felt guilty. "Get used to it, is all about feeling guilty," a colleague told me.
