I understand some people can't have kids, and I feel bad for those. But there are other women out there willing to risk their life to help them, and there are children in adoption agencies waiting for a family.

This is true... I guess since my pregnancy was easy for the most part with basically no complications, this didn't really even cross my mind. I would hate for something to happen to my own family while trying to give someone else theirs...
I guess its because women rarely actually die from pregnancy related complications. But things like gestational diabetes, eclampsia and complications while delivering are very serious.
To everyone saying they'd consider adoption, I think thats wonderful! I agree there are so many babies that need wonderful families who want nothing more than a child of their own to love. But... if I were in the situation where I couldn't concieve, I will admit I'd try everything possible to have my own. There is just something about giving birth to your own child (or I guess in the case of surrogacy, someone else giving birth to your child) that I understand why a woman would try everything to experience it. I can't help but look at my son everyday and think WE created YOU, and I grew you for 9 whole months... felt your first kicks... ah I could go on forever hehe. I'll hush now
