A Surrogate Dries Her Tears

Interesting article on yesterday's NYT. It's titled "A surrogate dries her tears" . But anybody who knows what surrogacy is would quickly figure out that what this woman did is not traditional surrogacy.
What she did is she got impregnated using donor sperm and HER OWN EGGS and subsequently gave the baby to a couple (they happened to be 2 gay men). So she basically GAVE HER OWN GENETIC BABY UP FOR ADOPTION.
No kidding she felt attachment to the baby! Everybody knows that the way to do this is to use donor eggs to create the embryos so that the surrogate is not carrying her own genetic child.
In any case the article is interesting and it points to a very good reference website called surromomsonline.com.
