TRUTH: There are many factors that contribute to a couple seeking a surrogate. Typically, there is some sort of medical factor like failed attempts to become pregnant or the inability to carry a baby.
Couples choose surrogacy most often when they cannot get pregnant naturally. That always has been the main reason. It’s their last chance to have a child of their own, after all other medical avenues have been explored.
Increasingly, surrogacy and other processes are also chosen by same-sex couples. As parenting in the gay community becomes mainstream, surrogacy will empower more parents. Here, too, it is a means to have a child of their own when there are no other choices.
❌ It’s not about keeping one’s figure.
❌ It is not about the money.
It’s about the baby ❤️
