Surrogacy is illegal in my country.
So once I found out about it, I went down the loophole of surrogacy posts and websites. And I discovered something: A surrogate isn't allowed to keep the baby, and signs a contract stating so beforehand.
Why am I disturbed, you ask? I learned that (in most cases) when parents give up their child for adoption, they can still take the child back within a certain period of time if they were to change their minds. Sure, it's not nice for the parents who were planning on adopting, but it's human.
While I understand that it's not always really the biological surrogate's child whom she carries, but some languages define a mother as the one who gives birth.
My point is: If someone driven to surrogacy, carries the child of another, and it's legal in a lot of places (also how tf is commercial surogacy legal???), shoudn't the woman at least have the right to keep the baby? The 'original' parent(s) aren't as attached, bt the one affected most will be the surrogate.
If this is even ethical is a whole different debate, but shoudn't the mother at least be able to keep her child?
