Newsweek | Letter to the editor

On April 2, 2008, I wrote a blog entry regarding the Newsweek cover story, “The Curious Lives of Surrogates.” After reading the article I felt compelled to write a letter to the editor explaining my thoughts about the article and surrogacy in general. I was thrilled to see that it was published in the April 21 issue, on newsstands now.

Surrogacy can be a controversial topic. Many of the comments posted in response to the Newsweek article were heated. I feel education about the process and the relationship that is built between the intended parents and their surrogate mother is vital to understanding and respecting surrogacy. I am happy that I was given the opportunity to share my view about the field that I am most passionate.
