Rich women turning poor women's wombs into baby hotels? Smacks of all kinds of wrong... Ladies, what do you think? Am I way out of line or what? "many women were willing to use black surrogates because there was a lesser chance of the host becoming attached to a child of a different colorThis is an interesting finding. As a mother, I can't say it would matter what the baby looked like; giving a baby up is hard. @ratilfar: Rich women turning poor women's wombs into baby hotels?I don't think we should create a victim here.
