Ms Jennifer Armstrong:

From a professional perspective the surrogacy agencies could be better regulated. There really is not that much regulation of surrogacy agencies and what is supposed to happen. I have seen different agencies work differently and support the surrogate differently. I personally chose my agency because of how well they support surrogates but I know in my experience that is not necessarily the case for all agencies. Better regulation from the agency perspective would be an improvement.

As for me being put on a birth certificate, if I was going to be told that I had to be the parent of the child I was carrying, I probably would not have been a surrogate. I have no desire to have any other children. For me the idea of being listed on a birth certificate is crazy. That would make me not do it because I do not want to be responsible for another child. If I wanted to be responsible for another child, I would have had another child.
