Beautiful People

I watched the season finale of Sister Wives last night.  This show has caught so much flack and called vile and disgusting but to me it kinda seems normal (for them NOT me) and functional.  Last night was the much anticipated delivery of Robyn and Kody's first baby together, Solomon.  Robyn wasn't the only wife nesting in anticipation, Meri, a sister wife, was also eager.  The birth was lovely but the heart stirring moment came moments after when Robyn offered to be a surrogate for Meri.  "Using yours and Kody's stuff" Robyn said.  I forget, because I am around surrogacy all day everyday, just how beautiful it truly is.  A woman sees the longing in the eyes of a parent to be and steps up and says "I want to do this...wholeheartedly...for you!"  Some critics of this process may say that we (surro's) are not entirely genuine as we receive compensation, but I assure you no amount of money can ever prompt a selfish heart to be so generous.  YES..this is a pat on the back to me and the many like me but hey I am after all a "Proud Surrogate".  Here is to all who are on the road of infertility or struggle to realize a family without assistance.  You are heroes!  You stop at nothing to see your dream a reality.  What a perfect team we make!!
