		<description>Being a birthmother I truely thought about becoming a surrogate. I didn&#039;t do it only for the reason of not really connecting with the intended parents and why they didn&#039;t adopt a set of twins in Russia that they went to adopt. I feel a need to help other families, however, I could not place my biological child for adoption again. Yes I believe the emotions would be high and I would go through some of the same emotions as when I placed my daughter. While chosing weather to be their surrogate or not I asked them if they would keep me updated and they said that it would be wonderful for me to be an auntie. I thought that was great and I think I could deal with it. I don&#039;t know why I have this feeling of needing to help people that are unable to have children but I do. I guess I look at my wonderful children and feel so blessed but then at the same time I wonder, if people were meant to be parents then God would have a way for them through either adoption or biologically. I guess I really have some mixed emotions about this subject. </description>

		<description>As a birth mother, choosing to be a surrogate mother makes me extremely uncomfortable.  I sympathize with women who desperately want a baby, but for another woman to carry in your place, on purpose, is just too sticky. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking of surrogate mothers, did you know that there is a movie coming out at the end of this month about this very subject?  It’s a comedy! &lt;br /&gt;
