You know what else can fill four pages? Realizing you have line spacing on 1.15 instead of 2... lol... You know I love you, but I couldn't resist... Easiest stretching I've ever done... yeah yeah yeah

I've had instructors be specific about margin and line spacing that they'll accept.

There is a whole message board dedicated to surrogacy - check our surrogatemomsonline. The biggest topics are:
legality - varies by state - some states only recognize the birth mother as Mom regardless of genetics - my opinion law needs to catch up with science.
Compensation - huge controversy if it should be allowed and how much should be allowed.
Prenatal care - big trust issue here not just "don't drink don't smoke", but ho much ex resize is OK, do you eat tuna, etc.
it has been several years, but if you have any specific questions feel free to pm me

Doogie houser and his male partner did it. So did that wedding planner guy. Both had twins. Wedding planner guy and his partner split up and they each took a child. Wow, huh? All about them and not their kids it seems. Just like some hetero couples that split up. Sounds like a fabulous Parent Trap remake!

It's a huge money maker for those who can handle being pregnant and just want to stay home with their kids. Think 30-50k for carrying. I know a lady who did it for ten different people. Good for her and for them. I dunno... that sounds a bit too much like a human "puppy mill", if you ask me.

Eh, just do what any good journalist does. Surf the web and find a good human interest story to comment on.

I've had instructors be specific about margin and line spacing that they'll accept. Me too, but if you turn it in on paper and only change it in the slightest ways they won't notice. I suppose maybe if they took out a ruler and believed that over the word processor? And I really meant only slightly - like 0.9" instead of 1". Not enough to notice by the naked eye, but enough to help a little.

Sorry, I don't have any real life info (from me) but the dentist I used to go to years ago did it. I think she did the first one and something went wrong, not sure what, but the last I heard she was actually paying two different women (overseas) to carry her children. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the first try. I'm thinking their was an issue with the surrogate, not the pregnancy, but she wanted a child so badly she was willing (and could) pay two women at the same time. I stopped going to her before either was born, so I don't know how it ended.
I personally had HORRIBLE pregnancies. When I started having trouble with DS, I told the ex that we were coming out of that pregnancy with one child or two (we already had DD) but that I was done. I was able to keep him and he's a healthy 6'1" healthy 21 yo! I'm very glad there are women that can do that for another couple, because it's heartbreaking when you want a child and can't have one. M
My biggest concern has always been when the surrogate tries to back out and keep the child, as with Baby M. Reading the earlier posts makes me think that things have gotten better and more legally binding for the parents since that case.
Interesting paper!

A very interesting topic. I'd love to read your paper when it's done.

I don't think I put my 100% into it at all, more like 50%, and if it wasn't for Oped, it would probably be like 1% - she did an AWESOME job editing for me. but if you still want it, pm me your email

Lena, I think this is a fascinating topic, and I'm sure you did a fabulous job, and I'm glad that Oped made it longer LOL. But I'm really curious now, aren't you getting an accounting degree? If so, why are you doing a paper on Surrogacy? Or have you changed degrees?

She still has to take English, Science and Social Studies type classes. Actually, I don't. This is a Master's program, so classes are only in my major. I would probably shoot myself if I ever had to take Social Studies type classes ever again. I almost got into a fist fight with another student my first time around
