I wonder why surrogate mothering is seen as a kind, noble, and selfless deed and adoption is seen as something bad and shameful. Aren’t they doing the same thing? Providing children-less families with a bundle of joy? Adoption has always held subtle negative connotations while Surrogacy is on almost the same wavelength as that of sainthood. I guess when it’s your Own blood that you are entrusting to someone else, it makes it something sad rather than joyous. I would think that it would be even More of a self-less act to give up your Own baby, rather than someone else’s baby that just happened to live inside you for a few months.
