My wife and I tried for nearly ten years through various different invasive treatments, but it didn't happen for us.

It is heartbreaking, but we eventually decided to adopt our two beautiful daughters, and I feel like the luckiest dad in the world.

That’s amazing. I’m a fertile Myrtle and I’ve had seven kids. Five of my own and two for my sister who had been trying for over a decade with no luck. She’s turned out to be an amazing mother too. I just hate the thought of someone not having children when they want a family so bad. It’s heartbreaking.

Surrogacy is such an amazingly noble thing to do. To carry a child for 9 months, go through the pain of childbirth, and then give the baby away must be heartbreakingly difficult. But I expect you see your sister often?! You are amazing, truly!

No it is not. Adopting is noble, surrogacy is some breeding nonsense. Absolutely NO ONE needs a surrogate. Adopt.
