We went online to surrogacy agencies. We interviewed lots of people - and I have to say with all due respect some of them were freaks. I was very leery of the process the whole way through.

I'm finding as I get older that I'm not much of a believer in redemption. I mean I believe in redemption in real life - redemption does happen and it's cool when it does - but I find myself getting leery of my desire for it in stories (especially my own).
