Surrogacy Support Group | Made in Boise
Sammie and other women in a Boise-based surrogacy support group meet to share stories of surrogacy, including the mixed feelings family members have about their choice to carry babies for intended parents. The group made a big difference in Sammie's life, who may not have become a surrogate if she didn't have someone to answer all the questions she had about it.
