    That sounds like something tabloids would say but has little relationship to the truth. If you got hard numbers I will look at them and you can prove me wrong.

      I’m not trying to sensationalize – if the pope meant to shame gay couples or couples with health concerns, then that’s ridiculous. But people do use surrogates for other reasons, too. Just Google search celebrities and surrogacy. I know some of the Kardashians have said they used surrogates, and I’m sure there are others.

      The heterosexual couple I know are not celebrities, but they are obscenely wealthy. They now have two children who were born like 8 months apart, haha, both borne by surrogates. There were no health issues for the woman in the couple – just convenience and the desire to avoid the normal health issues that pregnancy causes.
