[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand why you NEED to get them, any more than I would understand why you would feel the need to tell them in what position they were conceived. They are genetically yours and DH's. What gestational carrier did is a blip on the radar of their lives. Are you afraid someone will tell them "your mommy was never pregnant by you"?[/quote] As long as people feel like they need to "hide" the process by which they became a family, those of us that are dealing with infertility issues will always feel a huge amount of stigma. There is no reason to hide it, and no reason to be ashamed. People used this same "logic" to argue that adopted children should never be told they are adopted. There is nothing wrong with sharing how different people get to their families.[/quote]
