It is like a blood donor when you think of it? Yet it is a twisted branch on the family tree this time.

What a wonderful story. I have the chills! Not only was this a selfless act, but it proves that religious leaders do not have all the answers. What is wrong with helping to bring a child into this world? God bless this family.

Fabulous news.
What a selfless lady who has also helped herself and extended family. I don't understand how 'religious' people can be against this as surrogacy dates from Biblical times. Remember Hagar in the OT?
It is a very good hospital, too.

Nothing can be wrong when the morality behind surrogacy was ultimately good and a giver of happiness and life. Unlike most abortion's which is an ultimately selfish act and the destruction of life.

Congratulations! Wonderful news indeed. I too faced years of treatment without a positive outcome. My Mother also said she would carry a baby for me but alas the technology was not there. So very glad that this baby was brought into the world by this Irish Grandmother.
