I based my comments on the article in the link, and I must admit my thoughts were “well she has a 6 year old son so she can obviously have children, so why resort to surrogacy” – I’ll slap my own wrists for forming a judgement on insufficient facts there (and I usually take everything in the media with such a huge bag of salt!). However, whilst it doesn’t appear to be the case here, I do think it’s only a matter of time until a “celebrity” does pay a surrogate simply for the convenience.
Which leads me on to another question….there are so many children waiting to be adopted around the world, if they can’t have children of their own, why not adopt? At least they’d be adopting for the right reasons of wanting to extend their family and being unable to do so naturally.
