Ireland doesn’t have many provisions in law for surrogacy. So if a woman gives birth to a baby she is legally it’s mother, and if she is married her husband is legally the father. This means parents often have to “adopt” their child from the surrogate to have legal rights over their own child. It could get messy if surrogate won’t stick to the agreement, so some people would choose to use a surrogate in another country where there are proper laws protecting everyone.
This is changing thank goodness
 
I think a bit of transparency on the surrogacy would be appreciated.

I personally don't think she needs to tell anyone unless she wants to. She doesn't owe anyone anything. You don't expect a woman who has given birth to tell you their whole pregnancy journey from conception to birth so why should those who have experienced surrogacy have to tell their journey.

She's happy enough to peddle her goods and fake tan though. She's a GP as well as a mother. I think it would be possibly helpful to explain even a little to people who may find themselves in the same boat.
 
I don’t think it’s this black and white.
Exactly! In some countries it could feel like exploitation (I am not anti surrogacy) but I think in the US especially it is very regulated and actually can be seen as a way to help both parties. The surrogate, who can even be married with their own families might want to do it for either financial reasons or just actually enjoy being pregnant but not in a position raise another child

And a bit like lots of other things it’s a woman’s choice what she wants to do with her body!
 
It’s just classic Doireann though isn’t it? Waiting for the Chanel nappies to appear. Has the stool of flowers moved to the nursery?
Give the child a year or so when he's climbing on things and pulling things down and getting fingerprints everywhere like small children do and then we'll see the human side. And then he discovers crayons :D
