She Will Never Do It Again
Jessica said that she does not want to be a surrogate mom again. After this ordeal, we can’t blame her. Still, she does not have any regrets. “[My husband and I] weren’t planning to expand our family so soon, but we treasure Malachi with all our hearts. I don’t regret becoming a surrogate mom because that would mean regretting my son. I just hope other women considering surrogacy can learn from my story. And that a greater good will come out of this nightmare,” she explained to the New York Post.
The Real Victims In This Mess
When the story got out, there was a certain group of people who think that the real victims in this mess were the Chinese couple. A commenter said, “To comprehend this story, we must also see it from the parents’ side. I can say that virtually no one turns to surrogacy before suffering a tremendous amount of heartache — miscarriages, stillbirths, failed IVFs, failed adoptions, emergency hysterectomies, etc. And because it costs tens of thousands of dollars, no one approaches surrogacy lightly.”
