The author, a mother of two girls born via surrogacy, shares her perspective on the public reaction to Lily Collins' announcement of welcoming a baby via surrogacy. She addresses the common misconceptions and assumptions surrounding surrogacy, highlighting the financial and emotional toll it takes.
My interest in the news Lily Collins just welcomed her first baby via surrogacy was just as piqued as the next person, but perhaps with a different perspective. An ‘unexpected’ baby after a ‘non-pregnancy’? Welcome to my club. I am a hugely proud mother of two girls, born via surrogacy, so I am best placed to understand and sympathise with the gargantuan effort it requires to make a family this way.
Surrogacy is unquestionably a practice reserved for a privileged minority – and I count myself among them. It is expensive. Extortionately so if, like ours, it doesn’t go to plan. Medically, the process is straight IVF, and as such it might take several tries – each round of treatment is several thousand pounds in this country, and tens of thousands in America. I was exceptionally lucky that I was in a position to afford it – but I use the term loosely. We had a home we could remortgage - twice.
