In fertility issues: Adoption or Surrogacy

Since before the arrival of the Royal Baby Prince George of Cambridge, The economy of the British Government have been predicted to shoot higher because the baby boom. So, many people have reconsidered their priorities and I am sure baby making rituals have increased in performance too. This brings me to the order of the day. What about couples who have tried for so many years to have babies and still haven't been able to. Some have abandoned all hope while others have resulted to other options of adoption and surrogacy. 
Most celebrities I know have used more of surrogacy than adoption in these recent years since they have come to terms with their fertility issues. I for one think that surrogacy is much better since the baby should still have the genetic code of the parents although I still like adoption as it is a way for families to feel complete after many children or after so many trials have failed. The thing is that the Child Services and Social Services system is not perfect. Some children have been the the victims of the most horrible child abuse cases. Others are just kept around for the monthly cheque. I believe others find good homes and are cared for. Another problem of adoption is that some mothers find it difficult to connect with the child and the worst  case I have seen was when a birth mother changed her mind at day 56 since the adoption clause of that state says the birth mother still had till day 60 to change her mind. Some couples find it so devasting that to try again is beyond what their hearts can take and so just might give up.
The other option is surrogacy. I'm sure it is way better an option for couples although it is quite expensive. The surrogate  mother has to be taken car of from the beginning of the pregnancy to the end and after. Also you have to spend money on research to find the best person as your carrier, pay them and also make sure they are not crazy as to decide to keep the baby afterwards. And you also need a lawyer to make sure you are protected in this deal. I'm sure some Nigerian girls wouldn't think this is such a bad offer as it is say better than the awful things some have to do for money. 
But then again, "What do I know?".
Happy week ahead.
