I'm a gestational surrogate (the baby is of no genetic relation to me), and this is even a huge issue for me. It has been a priority that I have not matched with couples who intended to keep the surrogacy a secret from their child.

I believe I'd do it the same way for any adopted kid in my life.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437738911794797906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581205101506685603.post-81017934202598914332008-10-02T19:13:00.000-04:002008-10-02T19:13:00.000-04:00That's it exactly!

To me secrets fall into 2 categories: things we hide from people because we are afraid of the secret or things we hide from people for a short time until we can surprise them with it (like a party or a present). And a secret in adoption can only fall into the first category.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918826364837237450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581205101506685603.post-21533778570624309282008-10-02T16:44:00.000-04:002008-10-02T16:44:00.000-04:00I can't imagine how earth-shattering it would be t...I can't imagine how earth-shattering it would be to find out as a teen or young adult that what you thought was true about you was not. And that the people you had always trusted had not been forthcoming with you.<BR/><BR/>Then there would be the asking why. Why the shame?
