    4. Do you think you should have the right to claim the child you bring to term as your own? -Anonymous - Top

    Dear Anonymous,

    Do I think I should have the right to claim a child that I helped bring to term?

    NO! Under no circumstances should a surrogate be
    aloud to keep the baby she has given birth too! I
    think that is disgusting and just outrageous. I
    appauls me to hear about and think that because of
    hormones, or a change or heart someone can rip child from it's family. And I was genetically related to the surrogate baby. And I firmly believe that the surrogate should have no legal recourse.
