I acted as a gestational surrogate for another family who couldn't carry for themselves. Baby boy arrived safe and healthy on January 9th. Pictured is my husband holding my hand, plus baby's mom, dad, and big sister.
Edit: this has been the most interesting and rewarding thing I've done in my life. Whether you choose to do it altruistically or by compensation, I hope more people become open to gestational surrogacy. There are many people waiting for the right match.
To the commentors nitpicking at a possible payday:
Nurses, Doctors, Soldiers and Police Officers are all compensated for their time and effort and yet we think of them as nothing less than heroes when they do what is asked of them.
A skeptical eye is a treasure but your life will become sad and cynical if you can't appreciate beautiful moments.

Some heroes wear gowns.
