Surrogate Siblings and Bachelor Boyfriends Strain a Family
Dear Abby offers guidance to a 33 year old single mother deciding to be a surrogate for her sister while facing pressure from her boyfriend Pete. Advice suggests an earnest discussion with sister and brother in law, then weighing the relationship against the surrogate choice. The column also covers an unmarried mother-to-be facing support and visitation issues with the biological father and controlling parents. A separate inquiry concerns miscarriage sympathy etiquette, recommending a card or brief note.
