Surrogacy - No, it is not Friday yet! But, I am taking a much needed holiday, so Friday updates are today.

The debate on a bill that would allow same sex couples to adopt children in New South Wales has started in Australia. There should be a vote of the Legislative Assembly sometime this week.

Delivering Hope: The Exraordinary Journey of a Surrogate Mom by Pamela MacPhee is truly inspiring. Although her story starts in 2000, little has changed within the surrogacy world especially for those carrying for their relatives. As Pam is telling her own story she is also sharing the very important steps needed to start and complete such a venture. She very candidly tells of her medical and psychological screenings, legal proceedings, the medications and embryo transfer as well as her relationship with her cousin and his wife plus other family and friends.

The music, ironically scored by the group Thieves and Liars, is dark and foreboding, reminiscent of a horror film. And the name of the documentary – Eggsploitation -- implies its intentions, which is to let the world know about the “trade” in human eggs and “older women with money targeting younger women.”

Your expert gynaecologist or fertility specialist has advised egg donation to get pregnant. It may take a while for recipients to be totally ready to take this important step in their lives - to conceive. Proceeding to consider South African egg donors may be a solution and the answer to a mircale.

There is an abundance of available South African egg donors to assist in a phenomenally special manner - to give, to give life, to make a difference and to respond to a deed that makes them feel that they are truely doing some thing so significant.
