I spent 8 years suffering from infertility, now a group of women I bonded with watched the show as a form of entertainment and release. It was not meant as a informational piece but as a Friday night drama. I find it criminal that murder and rape of children is considered more suitable entertainment. I was a beautifully written and acted drama and I hope Lifetime or Bravo see the value and pick it up! I appreciated the doctors positive comments. The show brought back a lot of sad and happy memories, just like life. I find it very sad that some people use there own unhappiness to spread anger and more sadness! I bought Tivo for just this show... what a waste of money!
... View MoreAs a person who is still in the throes of infertility, this show smacks of every misconception (pardon the pun) that exists about infertility. There have already been several story lines about irresponsible surrogates, and frankly, surrogates already get enough crap dumped on them; what they are doing is a wonderful gift for an infertile couple, and very rarely do these crazy situations arise such as those recently aired on Inconceivable and ER. But hey - it's all about drama, right? And ratings? Then by all means, perpetuate the myth.In reference to another commenter, who said "People wanting a baby need to visualize and understand the risks and rewards involved. As do the surrogates, both male and female". First, there are no male surrogates. Perhaps you mean sperm donors? You clearly have not suffered infertility, especially if you can actually say "adoption agencies screens and counsels would-be parents, but still in 2005 - infertility clinics do not. They just ask for the check, and in socialized countries, not even that." Are you suggesting that just because a person has a medical problem preventing pregnancy, that they should be required to go through screening in order to be a parent? As opposed to the crack mothers, who as far as I know, aren't required to fill out so much as one paper in order to get pregnant? Wow, you must live in a red state.This show is a slap in the face to people who deal with infertility, and it only furthers the myths and lies that surround those of us who struggle for the simple joy of becoming a parent. I am glad to see this trash being taken off the air.

I just wanted to get pregnant at all cost. I found this show interesting and heart warming... Yes, they have taken some parts and made them unscrupulous. Gotta keep up with the market if you want to get watched. I think they did this to trying to keep up with today's way of thinking. Let's face it that is the way life is now. People will stop at nothing to get what they want. For anyone, man or woman who has ever wanted a baby more that anything in life... this show makes sense...I agree that there is some material in it that I am not certain to it's validly. Do they really do this? ... But even when taking that into consideration --- I do not care... It is interesting. And I will watch it for as long as it is on.... In case, you are wondering, my husband also agrees with me. No, we did not like the fact that a couple got a black baby when the labels were changed... but we are living in a time where people do this sort of thing, out of pure spite or jealously... I am surprised that Angie Harmon took the part paying some one who plays God... Decided what eggs need to get a boost for those in the bank and which do not....All in all, we love this show and will watch it every week...D. Ross Michigan
... View MoreI never watch network TV anymore. Usually watch movies but stumbled upon this as I was looking for info on Hurricane Rita.It got my attention and kept it the whole hour. I actually didn't want it to end. A big part is because I'm a fan of Ming Na.. I recognized her face and voice but didn't place her until looking here tonight. Thanks IMDb!The issues they are tackling are either a minefield or a goldmine, time will tell. But I'm glad someone is addressing them. Oh, I'm from the Bible Belt, it didn't bother me. I'll be watching again to see how it pans out.
