Hail Gabriel! Advice Gabriel! (Story of my transformation)

I consider myself a confident and open minded person, although I have always suffered from depression since the age of 15.

Long story short, I wasn’t satisfied with my natural state.

By the way, let me introduce myself. I am Gabriel, but someone may mistakenly call me Sofia. And here is my story.

For a long time, I wasn’t able to understand what was happening to me. I began to ponder a question: Who was staring at me in the mirror? It took more than 2 years to identify myself. It was hard 2 years of the agony and self-destruction. But in the end I was confident: it was a man locked in the woman`s body. I had quite conservative parents so I had to sleep out. And I am very grateful to that few, who helped me up in those days. Most of my “friends” stopped to hang around with me. I started earning for a living and became financially independent early.

Now I am trying to build a career of fashion designer these days. And I have my little victories in this field by now.

At the age of 18 I have already been grimly determined for SRS. I started a course of hormonal tablets and met a man who helped me to cope with the operation. We are still together. He loves me as I am, and I am grateful to him a lot. I love him to pieces.

To be honest, the operation was a nightmare for me, I experienced a difficult year of rehabilitation, but I’m confident that the operation was the best decision in my life.

Finally, Sofia is dead! Hail Gabriel!

I'm already 25. And I do not communicate with family at all. They pretended I am dead for them. I simply followed suit. This life challenge was a good lesson for me. And I'm glad that I had such an experience.

Now, when me and my wedded husband have been together for more than five years we are determined to have a child. I know that he will be an excellent father, coz he is attentive and supportive, I can feel that.

We have already discussed an adoption. And it seems to me that he is for it. I do partially support this option. But maybe I'm too selfish for it, but I really love this man and I do want to raise with him a common child.

I understand that you may consider my story odd, but this is what I have been thinking about for the last six months.

And now I see the only way for our couple, which is surrogacy.

Please suggest any ideas on this matter.

Thank you for your understanding.

Just seen this. Surrogacy is definitely an option worth considering as a way to achieve your dreams. Best wishes.

Surrogacy would be an option. Contact a few clinics 4 advice
