surrogate mother

Yes but that is not all that is involved. there is ususally a close bond between surrogates and the parents. And usually you get some sort of contact whether it is pics every year or a lot more. You get to know in your heart you helped create a baby, a life. Its not as cold and cut dry as you have put it! I am a surrogate!

Wow, that is a good point!! I never thought of it that way, but I think that you are exactly right. It does look like someone hiring a womb for their child.
