Opinion: “Adoption is Beautiful, Surrogacy Isn’t”

Occasionally, we will link to media opinions on aspects of adoption and child welfare that you may never have thought about. This opinion piece discusses surrogacy.

This piece discusses surrogacy and the desires of the adults and not the children.

Some quotes:

“Acquiring children requires a technological workaround like IVF and surrogacy. In the process, a child is created and immediately robbed of either its mother or father or both.”

” A mom that relinquishes her right to raise a child is still a mom. Adoption recognizes the reality that she has done what is best for her child and, at some level, brings redemption to the brokenness. Surrogacy intentionally creates the brokenness. In the case of surrogacy, the mother-child relationship is created only to be knowingly and intentionally severed. “

“In our fallen world, families break, but we should never break them on purpose. ”
