The Stars & Their Surrogacy Journey

The advancement of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has caused gestational surrogacy to become a sought-after solution for partners going through the discomforts of infertility. Although surrogacy is a source of political and social debate, there’s no stopping those partners who have made a decision to go forward with the surrogacy process.

Surrogacy opens a fresh window of chance, letting partners with fertility concerns have a child of their own. Let’s take a look at some celebrities who have solicited surrogacy services and who are pleased with the results.

In 2009, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick decided to work with a surrogate. After Parker’s first pregnancy, she found that getting pregnant again had become a challenge. In an interview with Billy Bush, she said that she wouldn’t have opted for surrogacy if she could have gotten pregnant herself. Now they have twins, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.

In 2010, Chris Daughtry and wife Deanna had twins, Adalynn and Noah, through a surrogate. They opted for gestational surrogacy because Daughtry’s wife had a partial hysterectomy in 2006 and was unable to bear a child.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got lucky in 2008 when Nicole became pregnant with their daughter, Sunday. In 2011, they went through a series of misfortunes while trying to have a second child. Kidman had an ectopic pregnancy, experienced miscarriages, and went through fertility treatments. Both Kidman and Urban wanted to have a second baby, so when everything else failed they saw hope in surrogacy. Now they have Faith Margaret and are happy with their decision.

These are just a few of the famous people who chose surrogacy to have children of their own. In spite of the continuous debate about surrogacy on legal and moral grounds, there is no denying the fact that surrogacy has helped many parents find satisfaction that money alone can’t buy.
