[quote=Anonymous]I know one woman who was a surrogate and my daughter’s best friends were born via surrogate. The woman I know has always seemed really happy about that choice. The one who carried my daughter’s friends has delivered 5 children (two sets of twins and a singleton) for other families, is currently pregnant for a 4th family. Before that she had two kids of her own. She is in their lives (the twins we know have met her, have seen pictures of her pregnant with them, they exchange Christmas cards) and says it’s a nice way to have stayed home with her kids while also earning money (or so I hear via the mom).

The mom in this case was unable to carry the pregnancy, but frankly I don’t think it’s anyone’s business why someone uses a surrogate provided there’s no coercion.

My first pregnancy was delightful and I used to tease that if I were younger I’d want to be a surrogate. Then the birth was badly mishandled and I was super stressed about being pregnant again and could fully understand why people would turn to surrogates. (Luckily the birth of my second was handled really well.)[/quote]
