I was thinking that, too...that clinic is going to be in TROUBLE--that is a big mistake to make.

Re: What would YOU do?
Oh my, that would be devastating to give my baby up after carrying it for 9 months, biological or not! What a heart wrenching decision to make!

Re: What would YOU do?
Do the couple even have a choice other than to give the baby over? I wonder how this would play out in court if it went there...
The irony is, the couple (if they were not Christian) could say, "OK you sign the agreement to let us have this baby or we will just legally KILL IT!"

I think they were in Canada but I am pretty sure that would be a case of first impression here in the US of A. The child is technically the biological parents, but what a terrible choice.
What a huge sacrifice. Have some friends that are going through this right now and she is about 3 months along, they would be devastated.

They are in Ohio.
If they were forced to give the kid up, I still think some would abort at this stage in the game.

Why did I think they were in Canada?
Well, It doesn't sound like they are going to court. I would hate to be a judge in that custody battle. One could argue that their is a presumption that a child born to a woman belongs to the husband. But I am not sure that would carry the day in this case. Fathers have been denied parental rights in cases where the mother was married to someone else though.

...could use Solomon's "let me have a sword and we'll divide the living child in half" mentality. It wouldn't hold up in a US court, but if you are willing to kill the child, are you really a parent?
On the other hand, pro-choice is all about the woman having rights to her body. She could use that slant. Would be really funny if she weren't so far along and told the biological mother that she could have the baby, but she would have to carry it the rest of the term!
Can you imagine them trying to explain this to their other three kids? Yes, mommy is having a baby, but it isn't ours. We bought the clothes and the furniture, we told you that you'd have a little brother or sister, but these other people provided the genetic material... we just gave our time and my body. I provided the nutrition, I took off work, its my body this child has lived in, but it isn't our child.

This is the article that was in today's Toledo Blade.........
http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll...WS16/309249997
It is very moving and very interesting. I can't even imagine being in the position these people find themselves in. And it sounds to me like they can't imagine being there either. Sad.......

Re: What would YOU do?
"Because Mrs. Savage had experienced miscarriages, she wanted to get through the first trimester to ensure that the pregnancy appeared viable before sharing the news — or meeting the Morells."
That is just horrible. You have a hard time getting pregnant, finally you do conceive, just to find out it's not really yours. I also read in the first article this will be her last possible pregnancy. Now they will have to get a surrogate mother if they want any more kids.
This hospital would be paying off my house, cars and sending all my kids to college.
