Rant

I have to rant for a minute, I looked up surrogacy to see what type of stories are out there about surrogacy. I was sorely disappointed in what I found! I watched an abc news video that just made me so angry. One part had a women who was conceived via surrogacy and she felt like her birth mother just sold her off that her main motivation must have been the money. Another felt as though she sold her baby after delivery. In both cases they were traditional surrogates where the surrogate used her own eggs and that is not what I did but it is offensive to hear this being brought down that way. There is a woman who totally disagrees with everything that it stands for. I am upset and hurt by the way it is being portrayed. I know not every experience is the same but mine was wonderful! Things like this being put out there is exactly why some people that want to do it won't because they only hear about the bad and don't want that to happen to them, which is understandable. However they may be missing out on the best experience of their lives. Also I did not get paid any more than I would have if I would have worked a full time job. The payment really just helped for me to stay home while I was pregnant with the babies. It did help us to do some things in our home that might not have been done otherwise but if I started working we would have eventually made it happen. I stand by my decision to do surrogacy and am excited to be blessed in doing it again. END RANT!
