Nollywood star Ini Edo has shared his motherhood journey through surrogacy.
She revealed that she bonded with the woman who carried her child.
She stated this while speaking at the recent Meet Surrogate Mothers IVF conference in Lagos.
“She wasn’t a vessel. I was involved every step of the way. Intended mothers are typically involved in parental care, prenatal care, medical decisions, and emotional bonding during pregnancy. And even though they are not physically carrying this child, they walk the journey together,” the actress said.
“Even though they are not physically carrying this child, they sort of walk the journey together. So when people reduce surrogacy to being just a baby factory, I think they erase these layers of humanity.
