Our Surrogacy: Featured on BlogHer and Elsewhere!

I am soooo late in posting about this. Some fun things have happened in the last several days!  A week or so ago, Tracy from Liberating Working Moms and writer for BabyZone asked her tweeps for pictures of what they looked like after giving birth because she wanted to dispel the myth that the perfect pictures we see of celebrities after birth is what every woman looks like after giving birth.  I sent her the link to the post I wrote on BlogHer a couple of years ago about our surrogacy experience because I wanted to make sure less traditional birth stories were highlighted too.

Last week, she published the post and pictures on BabyZone.  Then a few other friends mentioned that they saw me on Yahoo Shine because the article had been cross-posted there (the comments are interesting – maybe the title could have been different, but I think overall they missed the point. And thanks to the people who said I shouldn’t have been included since I didn’t give birth.).

Then, on Tuesday I received an email from BlogHer saying they were going to feature “It Takes a Village,” the post I wrote on the site 2 years ago and the post linked in Tracy’s picture of me in her post!  Did all of that makes sense?  Unfortunately, I have been stuck in meetings, so I’m only now able to post about it.  I appreciate every opportunity to present a positive, non-sensational perspective on surrogacy, so a huge thank you to Tracy and to BlogHer for including me!
