Once Upon a Surrogate by Jill Hancock Reeder

And I felt that the book over glorified surrogacy in India. I didn't care for how the book made surrogacy (surrogates even) in America to be all about the money. I love how the Wiles really embraced India and it's culture. I did feel a connection to the story in a way, because I carried for a couple from India (living in the states) at one time and it was a good experience. However, I am glad that this situation seemed positive for everyone and I came to have respect for the Drs and everyone involved. I don't necessarily agree with how their surrogates are viewed and treated. I am not a huge fan of surrogacy in India, from other things I've read. They come to be the first American couple to hire a surrogate through Surrogacy India. The book tells the story of Gerry and Rhonda Wile and their struggle with infertility. (I can somewhat relate as a surrogate myself, and going through things secondhand with different couples.

I definitely felt for the couple's struggle with infertility. I think the fact that it was, made it more interesting and enjoyable. I didn't even realize at first that the story was a true story. A few added to the story, but some subtracted and I just wanted to get back to THE STORY.

And it seemed to me that these facts were randomly placed throughout the book. The story itself, the couple's story, was interesting. My hangup? I didn't care for how it was written. There are books that I haven't been able to finish. It kept my attention and I wanted to keep reading, which is good. I have mentioned the book before in a giveaway here.
