MOTHER-of-two Samantha Mathews loved being pregnant so much and enjoyed labour, but did not want any more children. With this desire to go through pregnancy, the 30-year-old researched surrogacy and shared the idea with her husband, Dan. At first he was surprised but then got on board and the couple, along with their two kids, documented the surrogacy journey. While they received a lot of support, they also got a lot of judgement online from people questioning their motivations or that the process went -against God-. Samantha said: -We always say -always choose adventure- and I think this was one of our biggest adventures we-ve ever embarked on

She loves being pregnant? What? Ok. Pregnancy is physically exhausting and you are constantly sick in one form or another. It's also very difficult if you have other children to take care of. It never mentions money compensation. Hmmm. Also wait until she's older and all these prior pregnancies take it's toll on her. For every pregnancy a woman experiences it causes havoc on your body which results in consequences as you get older. It's obvious her and her- wonderful- husband are being paid to do this. Who is paying for the birth and medical expenses? I am a firm believer in God. But this is not a gift from God they are offering as most of you are saying in your comments. This is a way to make thousands of dollars.

aloT of people may not know this but the planet is running out of resources from overpopulation & having more than one child means you care nothing about the Earth, I live nyc and we have so much pollution from so many people and most people here having eight children without giving a damn what impact this having on the planet, animals all over world are running out of habitats are coming closer than ever before to mankind there's famine and lack of water. and people keep having multiple children it's so damn privileged primitive selfish and disgusting mindset. think of something other than yourself. the planet is dying because of mankind.

Your kids feel that there is something off, when you change the topic to the puppy. You can discuss, with a therapist, how to approach the topic in a healthy way. Don't teach your kids to avoid a topic that may be sensitive. They will confront you about it, when they are adult, and you can lose them then. They have feelings for the baby, and a dog cannot do anything about them. Now their feelings are avoided, but they must be confronted, so they can grow in a healthy way. It is good for their future relationships/marriages.

Personally I hated pregnancy. The sickness, the general uncomfortableness, just not having my body be my own. The anxiety over the baby. The wait that seemed to never end. I hated it. The ONLY thing I loved was the bond with my babies, and knowing I was in fact getting a baby at the end. I could not imagine going threw pregnancy for someone else. I can understand the desire to help other couples have a family. But not the enjoying pregnancy part. Good on her though. She's doing a good thing for other families

I can-t believe how callus people can be. How could you possibly see surrogacy as a negative thing? I absolutely loved being pregnant, but don-t want any more of my own. I would LOVE to have the chance to be a surrogate, but where I live there are laws that prohibit me from doing so. I think this is such a wonderful thing this family is doing and it takes an incredible amount of strength to carry and birth someone else-s baby and to let them take their baby at the end of it all. Absolutely selfless -

What a positive message. Even if they did it for monetary reasons, it would still be amazing that they decided to do this and teach others about surrogacy. She gave her body so that another person could have a baby. that is such a big deal and you know it means the world to the other couple. It's awful that people just have to throw in their negative opinions, even though it isn't affecting them and this couple is doing a good deed for other families. I think it's amazing.
reply

I'm only ok with surrogacy if it's 100% done by a volunteer. There is just too much exploitation done in this field in other countries. This lady seems to know what she is doing and hey maybe she is actually just doing it for the money but at least it doesn't seem like she is doing it against her will or like she had no other choice but to do this to make money.

I was an egg donor 10 times, I did to help other families because I know how amazing it is to have children and I wanted that for woman that can-t have children on their own. I was going to be a Surrogate I could not carry a baby and then have to give it away and I really commend her for doing that for another family, it-s the best gift anybody can ask for
reply

yeah this guys are not trying to help people, she is a very sick woman, you and your husband are done having children, but for some reason you feel like you want to get pregnant again, just so you can release dopamine every nine months.
You are ruining in your own body for dopamine, by the time you are 40 you are going to look 50

reply

Those people who put her down for doing it are probably the type that either cannot afford to do it themself or with they could do it but cannot. I think its fantastic that they are helping other couples become parents. As long as they are good people. If I could have more babies I would do it for my friends or family.
reply

Nah nah. People need to say the truth about pregnancy. It-s not easy, she is a acting it-s all fun and game. No it-s not. Let-s not forget about complications. I gotta say this. And I don-t understand this, so she is the mom but the father is the other man that is with the other woman, I don-t get it.
reply

I don't see how this is weird or controversial. Especially if she's having easy pregnancies and enjoying certain aspects of it. Some women can't have kids or don't enjoy everything that comes with pregnancy and delivery so it works out! Getting that dog after was genius! Good job!
reply

Don't let the haters tell you that you are doing something wrong cause what you did for someone else that's an amazing story for that family don't let them tell you that cause your Christian you can't give life to someone else child it's not playing God it's giving them a miracle.
reply

I LOVE Canyon and Ember. I'm all for giving your kids unique names, but some of these people are getting out of hand with naming their kids. Incredible Hulk, Fruit Cocktail, Ham & Cheese Sandwich. But mom name is Kelly and dad's name is Christopher SMH!
reply

She does the greatest gift for other women and couples and so proud of her and unbelievable and person and woman inspiring and amazing and such a blessing angel and for being devoted to community other women most precious gift for a parent -

I was adopted and I hated on surrogacy for the longest time, because I thought it was selfish when there are already people out there who already exist, but I am getting better with it, and this video helped. I hope they are happy-
reply

Even though my pregnancy went well, you can't pay me enough to carry another pregnancy. Because I don't want to risk my life now that I am already a mother. All the money in the world cannot replace me in the eyes of my child.
reply

bless you and your family for letting another family use your womb. I loved being pregnant and I really think you are so lovely for blessing a family with a baby. Your womb holds a lot of happiness for other families too.
reply

Love this family so much. Watched their journey on fb. Made me wish I could be surrogate. Having my twins was one of the best things I-ve experienced. I would love to give that to another family.
reply

I wish I could afford surrogacy, it's crazy expensive. I'm going through the foster system to hopefully adopt but been a year nothing panned out so far. it really sucks when you can't produce kids.
reply

I would absolutely do surrogacy. I think it's great that one woman can help another woman out in such a significant way. It's beautiful.
-Just my opinion. Do not attack me please.

reply

Mmm yeah, you risk your life every time you carry a pregnancy. So, it's not just a matter of whether it was fun or not. You seem well off you can stop playing the surrogate now.
reply

Would you be doing this if you weren't being paid thousands of dollars? It's ok to be honest and say you're doing it both because you like helping people while getting PAID to do it.
reply

Thats awesome. Ive been trying for years. Almost convinced it wont happen for me. Im single and could never afford surrogacy. They are giving people an amazing gift. Thats cool.
reply

my SIL cannot have kids. She would give anything for a couple like this couple to bless them. I dont see anything wrong with this. its insane for people to think otherwise.
reply

The fact that u carried that child in u for a stranger, doesn't mean that it's still not apart of u! The umbilical card that attached to the baby is attached to a piece of u
reply

It's so funny that some -christians- will say surrogacy is wrong and that those people aren't meant to have children yet they'll line up at the pharmacy for their meds.
reply

Is Canyon a relatively common name in the US? I've never heard of it being used a person's name. I think he'd face a lot of judgement with a name like that, where I live.
reply

Why is everybody naming their dog scout. That's my daughter's name and now everybody's name and their daughter scout and alllllll kind of people name in their dog scout.
reply

I think it is amazing because not everyone can have kids and most people they love kids and it is a wonderful way to give life to others that can't
