Regardless of what we think, surrogate mothers are a reality and many couples are benefiting from the actions of women who choose to carry babies for them.

According to a conference presentation today, Surrogacy still stigmatized, though attitudes changing among younger women, “Although younger people are becoming more positive towards surrogate mothers, current day attitudes to surrogacy are still broadly negative.”

Will surrogacy become like adoption did? There was a time when there was a stigma to being adopted – maybe with time, surrogacy will begin to slip under the radar and become just another way of life?

Surrogacy still stigmatized, but attitudes changing

Celebrities who have used surrogates include:

Angela Bassett     Robert de Niro   Peri Gilpin   Kelsey Grammer

There is growing controversy, however, over the use of surrogate mothers. Newsweek’s cover story a few weeks ago was The Curious Lives of Surrogates, and it delved into who does surrogate mothering and why. It’s an interesting article.

While you’re at it, another article in the Wall Street Journal, Outsourcing Childbirth, is also worth reading.

So, what do you think?
