Most doctors want to keep their success rates high, so they'd rather deal with someone who is younger, who has healthier eggs and more of them.

Surrogacy used to be difficult, because the woman that was carrying the child was biologically related to the child. And sometimes you can still do it that way, but you do not have to do it that way anymore.
We chose to use a surrogate as the way we wanted to start our family, particularly as I was traveling across the globe on a stressful schedule to get stores open.
My wife and I had been trying a while to have a baby. We tried a bunch of things - so we had a surrogate.
