@LauraoftheLakes @Hythacg @greenpottery These are gorgeous. I love the style.

@LauraoftheLakes He and his wife were blessed with children when one of their best friends offered to be a surrogate. I'm not sure what I think of that entirely, but it's not the commodification of my own initial reaction.

@LauraoftheLakes That's an interesting point with a lot to reflect on. I tend to agree with you -- my initial reaction to surrogacy is that it's, in part, a commodification of children. But I've also seen another angle to it. One of my coworkers has tried to have children for many years. . .
