I’ve been to Portland twice. When I was getting pregnant with my surrogate son, we did the embryo transfer in Portland. The first trip was for a couple of days, and I was alone. I had a hotel room, rental car, and days to myself. I went out to Canon Beach, drove around Portland, went shopping in the Alphabet District, got lost amongst the humanity.
The second trip was 10 days. My surroson’s father and I had lunch on Mt. Hood, went out to the coast, drove alone the Columbia River Gorge, went to a bunch of different restaraunts, went down to the waterside, to the zoo, to the Japanese Gardens, to the Rose Gardens….
I love it there. The air is cleaner, the political climate is to my liking, it’s beautiful and perfect. I’d love to raise my son there.
