I'm loving this! As a Denver Gestational Surrogate 18 weeks pregnant with twins for gay men from Brooklyn, I fully support the idea of a well done documentary about surrogacy! I've shared on Facebook and on my blog http://www.lovemakesafamily2011.blogspot.com/ and will be keeping my fingers crossed that the goal is met!!

As a 2x Gestational Surrogate for gay men (one couple interracial) I am so excited about your documentary being made.

Best of luck!!!
