Quote From: flthomcatEveryone has a disease these days. Nobody wants to take responsiblity for themselves. They make life hard for those who truly suffer from disease and who don't have control over their actions!
I am tired of children being victimized. The moment a woman agrees to be a serrogate and accepts payment, her rights have ended. Once the children are born and placed in a home with parents (biological or adoptive), the birth mother should have no rights to interfere in the lives of the innocent children.
God bless all the women who agree to put babies into the arms of caring, responsible, loving couples who could not have a child otherwise. As for those who change their minds after the baby is born, SHAME ON YOU for wreaking havoc on innocent children and their parents.
Allison was NOT a surrogate! She went through IVF to concieve her much wanted children for 2 years! Due to Hyperemesis and all it does to the body and mind she was forcibly pressured to sign over her children. This story is about a women who suffered from a disease during pregnancy (which lasts into the post partum period) and was barely able to care for herself effectlivly and overwhelmed with trying to care for 2 newborn babies, when she was still in very poor health. Instead of her boyfriend supporting her and helping, he pressured her into giving the babies up for adoption, which is something she did NOT want to do. She was physically and emotionally depleated. Not even close to the frame of mind you need to be to make any type of life altering desiscion.
By the way, your right, these days everyone has a disease. Would you make that comment to a cancer patient? Read up and educate yourself on what hyperemesis is, and how it effects the body before you make inaccurate statements. This is NOT a new disease. Although not publiciized, its been around for centuries. Hyperemesis IS a life threatening disease, one that I would of died from had I lived 100 years ago. Thankfully, modern medicine allowed me to live, and bring forth my 2 children to this world.
I too would of liked to heard the adoptive parents side, but THEY chose to not participate.
