Someone Else's Child: A Surrogate's Story by Sue Phillips

ISBN: 9780702237751 PUBLISHER: University of Queensland Press FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 288 PUBLICATION DATE: 3.05.2010 DIMENSIONS: 230mmX152mm

DESCRIPTION: In her late thirties, with three children of her own, Sue Phillips chose to carry a baby for a couple who were unable to conceive. She didn't do it for money, or because they asked her to, or because she wanted the baby herself. She did it because she couldn't bear being in a position to help them and doing nothing. Sue charts her unique journey - from the initial decision with her husband and children, to leaping through bureaucratic hoops, grappling with legal complexities and ethical considerations, facing the challenges of becoming pregnant, and managing the conflict with her school employer. In this memoir, Sue faces up to the emotional truth of what it is to become a surrogate - the joy of giving, the personal repercussions, the legal minefield of deciding whose child this was. With a thought-provoking mix of the political and the personal, this book is illuminating, challenging and incredibly moving.
