Good article about surrogacy in India

Not familiar with this news source here in India, but the few articles I perused were done quite well. The article they have on surrogacy is here: http://gulfnews.com/life-style/general/india-s-rent-a-womb-industry-is-booming-1.1073056. Though I don't particularly care for the first picture they have in the slides, the article is a positive one none-the-less. Worth the read.

Note: the article is a bit confusing when it is referring to clinics . Even as a person who knows a ton about my clinic, I had some confusion when they flip between some details about clinics. For example, on page  1, the author writes "Parvati works for – Akanksha Infertility Clinic" and noting earlier that is is located in Ahmedabad. Then they flip to "Dr Kamini Patel, the director of Vani IVF Centre, in Ahmedabad". Even though these two clinic are in Gujarat and both have a Dr. Patel, they are two completely different clinics. The article flips back and forth between quotes from Parvati and quotes from Dr. Kamini, that it sounds like they are the same clinic. I actually wonder if they just misprinted which clinic Parvati was with. 

Also, while the Vani IVF Center they refer to frequently and write as having 48 surrogate babies born, I do want to note that Dr. Nayna Patel at the Akanksha Infertility Clinic has had over 500 surrogates born as of June of this year. I know this because I was here for the HUGE celebration, flanked with media from all over. I include this information because I can see that the most people would confuse the two clinics when reading the article

    1. Yea, overall I really liked it. I have a google alert set to notify me of these things and sometime I get a little nervous before I read them. And I try NEVER to read the comment section (usually filled with ppl that have thought about surrogacy for all of 2 seconds.)

    1. Content removed due to:
      1.) This blog is about my personal experience and I do not wish to indirectly be an advertisement for clinics I have no experience with (bloggers that I follow are free to leave comments about their clinics)
      2.) There is a recent bad experience from an IP blogger about this facility. Since I can neither verify the validity of the blogger nor the clinic, I have chosen to remove what was a non-solicited advertisement.
