Jessica (the mom of Odette) is literally BEAMING in the "after" clips. She is so absolutely happy and I think it's beautiful that Marylee was able to be a gestational carrier for her.

[@Green-rp6br]

Can I ask why the term has changed?

[@ShaunCheah]

@@Green-rp6br I just looked it up and a gestational carrier uses eggs and sperm from the couple and the womb of the third party, whereas a surrogate uses sperm from the couple and the eggs and womb of the third party. So with a surrogate, the surrogate would be the biological mother. With a gestational carrier, there'd be no genetic link between the carrier and the child. After learning this, I'd say gestational carrier sounds way more preferable if the option is available.

The one that had a baby for someone else I could never bc I fell that I would be very sad to give a baby that I had for 9 more months go so she is very brave

[@amaradejo]

The surrogate mom must be one of the most generous, selfless person I've ever heard of. Pregnancy and especially childbirth can bring all sorts of health issues, some of them long term. And not many mothers dare comment about this because there's stigma and shame that society puts onto motherhood. The friend of the surrogate mother... Well, the two of them love each other, but I don't understand ever asking a friend to carry a baby, especially when adoption is a thing. Sure, adoption can be bureaucratic, expensive and it's not a trivial decision. But I think all types of couple should consider adopting as a first option, not as plan B or as a lesser alternative. Some folks apend thousands trying to conceive when they could instead welcome a child who already exists and is looking for a home.

[@peanutbutter9619]

how do you know that adoption was never a topic? I don’t know how it is in the states but in Germany there are many many hard criteria for adopting a child, one of them being that you can’t be older than a certain age, 41 definitely being above. It also sounded more like the friend offered to be a surrogate and wasn’t asked to. professional surrogates are extremely expensive. you do not know what the couple went through before they decided on this option

[@amaradejo]

@@peanutbutter9619 You are correct. Like in most Cut videos, people try to reach to conclusions and assumptions based on a few minutes. And that's what I did here. So it's probably just a lot of projection of my own. That said, in general terms I hope adoption was more widespread and considered like a first option by most couples; and I also maintain that the friend is incredibly generous and brave.

[@vloggetts]

I'm not from the US but I've heard you can spend thousands on legal fees trying to adopt there and that adoption brokers can be pretty unethical. Also adopting is a very different thing to raising a child that is biologically yours. I've seen a lot of discourse from adopted people being like it shouldn't be about your desire to raise a child if you can't biologically have them but instead about providing a loving home to a child that needs one. Adoptive parents have a responsibility to mediate children's relationships to their biological family, keep them in touch with their birth culture if that is different to their own culture and take trauma-informed parenting classes because even if the children haven't experienced abuse, they will have sustained trauma from the act of adoption alone. I definitely think adoption can be intended as an act of love and that all these children deserve a loving home but it should probably be done in a way that centres the needs of the child rather than those of the parents and takes into account the experiences of adopted people, and it shouldn't be considered as a default for people who can't have kids but want kids

[@Ambi1021]

I 100% agree with you.

[@ESWilliams09]

The surrogate said she offered it. Also, pregnancy/birth experiences are wildly different. Some women are very sick throughout a pregnancy and some women actually go through a "reset" and health issues they had before are resolved. Some women enjoy being pregnant and parents but may feel they don't have the resources to properly care for another child. Doing this for someone else you care about is a gift. You also don't know about the other avenues the couple considered beforehand so overall your comment is presumptuous and ignorant.

🥺 I recently had a baby boy but I had actually chosen the name Odette for a girl before I knew I was having a boy. I'm 34 and he'll likely be my only child but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want to also have a girl. I've always wanted a boy and a girl.
