This may be said over the phone, in the parking lot, before the surrogate immerses, etc.
יְבָרֶכְךָ ה', וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ
יָאֵר ה' פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ
יִשָּׂא ה' פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם
Y’var-ekcha Adonai v'yeesh'm reka –
Ya’eir Adonai panav elecha v’chunei’cha –
Y’say Adonai panav elecha v’yasem l’cha shalom –
May G-d bless you and guard you –
May G-d make His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you –
May G-d lift up His face unto you and give you peace –
Praying to G-d to help prepare your body to do what G-d intended it to do as a female/mother. (Take a moment to share gratitude for your own previous successful births, reflect on your own fertility journey.)
בָּרוּךְ שֶׁהַכֹּל בָּרָא לִכְבוֹדוֹ
Baruch she’ha’kol barah l’kvodo
Blessed is the One Who has created everything for Your glory.
Ariele Mortkowitz, Executive Director of SVIVAH, created this collaborative immersion ceremony. In this beautiful moment of shared prayerfulness, if desired, the immersion of the surrogate can be done in cooperation with or with the participation of the intended parent.
(To be recited together, after surrogate has emerged from the water. Either by phone, when surrogate is in her robe or dressed, or after she returns from her preparation room.)
May it be Your will, G‑d, our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, that You should lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace, and guide us in peace, and support us in peace, and cause us to reach our destination in life, joy, and peace. Save us from every enemy and ambush, from robbers and wild beasts on the way, and from all kinds of punishments that rage and come to the world. May You confer blessing upon the work of our hands and grant us grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us, and bestow upon us abundant kindness and hearken to the voice of our prayer, for You hear the prayers of all. Blessed are You G‑d, who listens to prayer.
A prayer for the awesomeness of this moment – and its novelty.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לזְּמַן הַזֶּה.
Baruch ata Ha’Shem Eloheinu melekh ha’olam, shehecheyanu, v’kiyimanu, v’higiyanu la’z’man hazeh
Blessed are You, Ha-shem, our G-d, Ruler of the universe, who has given us life, sustained us, and helped us to reach this moment.
Praise G-d for the miraculousness and wonder of creation – and pray for that miracle to occur for this surrogacy.
בָּרוּךְ יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם
Baruch yotzeir ha’adam
Blessed be the Creator of Human Beings.
