This technique of IVF is an interesting alternative to tradition reciprocal IVF. I like how the two mothers are both able to take part in the gestation period, in a way given the two women an equal sense of contributing to the child's life.
I imagine this technique provided the women with a sense of connection to the child that would be different if only one of them had taken part in the process. Also I imagine that this strengthened the connection between the women as well in that they underwent this together.
I am happy for this family since they were able to get what they wanted, but I still think they could have moved past the 'biological or bust' mentality. They would still be able to have a child they love, but without all the expenses that come with IVF. Especially, since there are so many children that need to be adopted. I can understand the desire to make your own baby, but it sometimes seems shallow to be so determined for the baby to carry your own genetics.
