Summary: Standard Information, Lacking Emotion
Review: As a surrogate mother myself, I found The Guide to Gestational Surrogacy to be nothing more than a compiled mishmash of information available on the Internet. There was very little emotion in this book which is ironic as surrogacy is a very, very emotional journey. This book is also really geared more towards couples seeking a surrogate and not women looking to be surrogate's. I was disappointed at the 'barely touching the surface' information contained in this book.

Summary: Out of Date
Review: This book is horribly out of date, vague and poorly edited. I found a few pieces of information helpful but not much. I will certainly look for a more current book this time around. Many of the examples refer to California and are, therefore, very misleading. You'd be better off with internet research.
