Breaking up is hard to do
But it's the right thing to do.
I just sent off my formal letter to let K&M know I am discontinuing the relationship and will not be attempting to carry their baby. Before you think I'm an awful person, many (many) variables went into the decision and it wasn't taken lightly.
I feel a sense or relief, but at the same time I'm so sad for them. Please keep them in your thoughts if you will. Thanks!

Re: Breaking up is hard to do
I'm relieved too! I hope you're not regretting one bit of this experience.
They are blessed to have crossed paths with you. I wish them so much success.
Looking at it from their point of view, they understood, but I can't imagine how they felt having their surrogate back away from the project. It was a tough call.
Thanks for being so kind.
ditto. you did what you could, which was far more than most others. not that you care, but i think you made the right decision.
I think you are being too hard on yourself. I am relieved for you to be able to make this decision for you and your family. I have appreciated being able to read your journey in this through your blog, and will continue to send good thoughts to K&M that they will get the child they desperately want. I think you have been an inspiration throughout (to me, as well as others I'm absolutely sure).
