Assumptions about surrogacy

When Americans may think of surrogacy they assume the long process is performed by single, low-income women when in fact there has been a relatively new trend taking place--military wives. The rise of surrogates in military wives has risen since the start of the Iraq war in 2003. We thought it was interesting that these women turn to such measures to help supplement income. This allows women to feel a sense of fulfillment while subsequently spending time with their children that may not be possible if they were working.
