Surrogacy in all its horror

Surrogacy: rejected by her "sponsors", she is adopted 6 years later



Bridget is 6 years old. Born in Ukraine, she has just been welcomed into an American family. Disabled, this little girl was born by surrogacy. Early in the pregnancy, her Ukrainian surrogate mother was expecting triplets. One was aborted, another died at birth. Bridget, born prematurely, suffers from several disabilities, and the sponsoring parents no longer wanted her [1]. They authorized a cessation of treatment, to let her die, but Bridget survived. The surrogate mother then remained five months in the hospital with this little girl, offering her care and baptism. She was then transferred to an orphanage, where the head nurse, Marina Boyko, watched over her until her adoption. It was in April 2022 that an American family asked to adopt her: Philip and Kristie Graves, parents of four children. Having overcome the administrative obstacles [2] , they have just returned from Ukraine with Bridget.

[1] They paid 29,900 euros to the company BioTexCom for an “All Inclusive Standard” package.

[2] The Ukrainian authorities refused in particular to recognize the renunciation of the sponsoring couple, and did not recognize Bridget as an American citizen.

Poor little girl.

The world can be a cruel place but I am happy to hear she has been adopted into a loving and caring home.

This pisses me off on so many levels, this for one:

Early in the pregnancy, her Ukrainian surrogate mother was expecting triplets. One was aborted, another died at birth. Bridget, born prematurely, suffers from several disabilities, and the sponsoring parents no longer wanted her.

Using living people as incubators as for the other.

When you don't wanna have kids, don't have them. And don't fucking sell them when you do.

Renting a womb is abhorrent. Absolutely vile commodification and dehumanization of the woman and her child.

What about artificial wombs? I think it is something that future has for us.

What about artificial wombs? I think it is something that future holds for us. Japanese scientists have already managed to grow sharks in an artificial uterus.

It is OK if you want to help your family member, relative or friend who can't get pregnant. But renting for money isn't OK, IMO.

The couple who paid for the surrogate pregnancy should be in prison. A baby is not a toy to buy and then return. I'm glad the girl was finally adopted.

I find this branch of research disgusting. That's it.
