O knihe

A POWERFUL, CHILLING, TRUE STORY as featured in People Magazine, Surrogacy Nightmare Whose Babies Are They? March 14, 2016 and The Dr. Oz Show 2016 -O, The Oprah Magazine 2003, and Oprah's choice as one of the most talked about stories in O's Top 10 Anniversary Special in 2010.
Inside the life of a surrogate mother Susan Ring, a single mother of two who learns upon her second journey, with the same intended parents, she is pregnant with triplets. The parents demand a reduction to twins.
The surrogacy agency informs Susan of the unbelievable, the parents no longer want the twins she is pregnant with. The parents breach the contract, divorce, and abandon Susan and the twins at the hospital, ultimately insisting their children go to social services.
Susan refuses to comply and boldly prepares to fight for parentage in a California court with no biological ties. It is a story of hope, love and letting go. This astonishingly honest memoir raises challenging ethical questions, redefines motherhood, and what it means to be a mother in today's complex world of infertility. It recognizes how far advanced science has become, and how the law is lagging far behind. Above all, it is a story for our times.
