[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the finale was okay, and liked that Elena actually seemed to learn something, but don't understand why Pearl wanted to see the grandparents who rejected her and her mother instead of the father who had desperately wanted her. [b]Not that I'm totally sympathetic to the latter, given the whole issue of a rich family's "buying" a young poor black girl's body and eggs with little regard for her well being. [/b]

Find it totally implausible the adoptive parents wouldn't have had a security system installed ffs. And heartless of them not to let the bio mother at least have limited visitation rights. [/quote]

I wouldn't describe Mia the college student and the family she came from as poor.  And that's literally what a surrogate is - the purchase of a body for the purposes of growing a child.   They knew it, Mia knew it. I don't see how the couple could be characterized as having "little regard" for Mia's well being although Mia certainly had little regard for the rights of the biological father.[/quote]

She was a girl cut off from her family and desperate for money who clearly wouldn't have done it but for the financial exigency. And, yes, my point is precisely that surrogacy exploits people of low socioeconomic status. If they didn't need the money, and had other options, the vast majority wouldn't do it.[/quote]

She cut herself off from the family.  Her parents didn't reject her, so much as they needed time to grieve their son and accept their daughter's choices. She didn't give them a chance to accept her.[/quote]

Her mother told her not to come to the brother’s funeral. That’s a rejection.[/quote]
