The Stars & Their Surrogacy Journey
These days, a number of couples are choosing surrogacy as the way they have their families. With the initiation of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), gestational surrogacy has become a solution for many couples going through the hardships of infertility. Even though surrogacy is a source of significant political and social controversy, there’s no preventing these parents from going through with it. Ninety percent of them are happy with the outcomes. The other 10 percent had either not researched the approach or had questions about the surrogate they considered.
Surrogacy has become a unique window of hope, for it allows couples with fertility difficulties to have children of their own. Same-sex partners, married in legal and binding laws, now have the capacity to create their own families. Women who are not able to get pregnant can now become moms. Also, some women above the age of 42 can have babies of their own.
Surrogacy is admittedly expensive and not the easiest procedure to go through, but those who are determined to have their own child still opt for it. Let’s take a look at some celebrities who have participated in surrogacy services and who were and are content with the results.
In 2002, Michael Jackson had Prince Michael “Blanket” Jackson II by personally choosing a nurse to carry his son. Jackson had donated his sperm and carefully selected a donor egg to match the qualities he had chosen.
In 2009, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick decided to work with a surrogate. After Parker’s first pregnancy, she found that getting pregnant again had become a challenge. In an interview with Billy Bush, she said that she wouldn’t have opted for surrogacy if she could have gotten pregnant herself. Now they have twins, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.
In 2010, Chris Daughtry and wife Deanna had twins, Adalynn and Noah, through a surrogate. They opted for gestational surrogacy because Daughtry’s wife had a partial hysterectomy in 2006 and was unable to bear a child.
These are just a few of the celebrities who have chosen surrogacy. Despite the ongoing debate over surrogacy on moral and legal grounds, there is no denying that it has accommodated many parents and given them the happiness and fulfillment that money alone can’t provide.
