Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 After my book came out, I began to receive comments about why I didn’t go the surrogacy route. I felt like I was being asked to accept my body’s failures. I had been diagnosed with adenomyosis one year before, with the gag being that I’d had it since my early twenties.
#2 I had come off the pill in my early twenties, and had been prescribed birth control to regulate my period. But it caused the absence of a period, which many people mistake for their regulated period. I was never correctly diagnosed or treated for my endometriosis.
#3 I was not ready to do surrogacy, so I continued to try and conceive on my own. I wanted the experience of being pregnant, and I wanted my heart to be in sync with the baby’s. I envied how pregnant people were revered and loved upon.
#4 I was fighting with my husband about what was best for my body, when he told me that he wanted me, but that we had lost too much in our relationship for him to be okay with encouraging me to do one more thing to my body and soul.

#1

After my book came out, I began to receive comments about why I didn’t go the surrogacy route. I felt like I was being asked to accept my body’s failures. I had been diagnosed with adenomyosis one year before, with the gag being that I’d had it since my early twenties.

#2

I had come off the pill in my early twenties, and had been prescribed birth control to regulate my period. But it caused the absence of a period, which many people mistake for their regulated period. I was never correctly diagnosed or treated for my endometriosis.

#3

I was not ready to do surrogacy, so I continued to try and conceive on my own. I wanted the experience of being pregnant, and I wanted my heart to be in sync with the baby’s. I envied how pregnant people were revered and loved upon.

#4

I was fighting with my husband about what was best for my body, when he told me that he wanted me, but that we had lost too much in our relationship for him to be okay with encouraging me to do one more thing to my body and soul.

#5

I had to walk away from home plate, dragging my bat behind me. I had three healthy embryos left, and I chose the embryo to transfer, a girl. Now I needed someone to carry her.

#6

Surrogacy is a feel-good industry, but even here, racism shows up. For example, white American families-to-be are more comfortable with brown people as surrogates, because they believe that if they are married, they have a built-in support system.

#7

I was extremely careful when selecting a surrogate, taking into account the fact that she might run away with a Black baby. I chose a white surrogate because I felt that people would be more inclined to ask questions if a Black woman gave birth to a white baby.

#8

I met my surrogate, Natalie, a reader, and her husband, Dwyane. I was very aware that we only had three embryos. If I was going to trust one of those to someone, I felt like I could trust a reader.

#9

I was pregnant with Dwyane’s baby. I had begun filming the pilot for L. A. ’s Finest, a series I would star in and executive produce, around the idea that with proper planning and communication, a boss can prioritize parenting for employees and employers.
