The pain women who are trying to conceive go through is indescribable. They go through strings of uncertainty and insecurity and also suffer from low self-esteem arising from unsolicited glances and sadness.
Thankfully, science has made it less harrowing for childless women to bring forth children through surrogacy.
Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, where a woman is usually paid and agrees to become pregnant, carry the pregnancy to due term, and give birth to a child, all of this for another person or persons, who are or will ultimately become the parent of the newborn child.
In recent times, celebrities who have been open about their experiences with surrogacy are playing a great role in helping to douse the stigmatization of infertility, a medical condition that affects nearly 40 percent of couples all over the world.
Here are a few celebrities who have brought forth children through surrogacy.
