The Baby Chase: How Surrogacy Is Transforming the American Family

Leslie Morgan Steiner (Get this book)
Even though Steiner notes that babies conceived through assisted reproductive technologies represent only an estimated one percent of all U.S. births, it is still important for the public to understand the processes. A traditional surrogate uses her own egg to conceive and carry a baby she won't raise, whereas a gestational surrogate is not biologically related to the fetus inside of her. Steiner covers all the psychological and medical complications and changing attitudes pertaining to surrogacy and shares her belief that everyone who wants a baby deserves a baby.--Booklist
