100 Women

The Surrogates Club

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News ChannelLatest broadcast: on BBC News Channel HD

This is the surrogate mothers' club: women that volunteer to give birth to a stranger's child and receive only expenses in exchange. 100 Women speaks to the founder of Canadian Fertility Consulting and follows three altruistic surrogate mothers in Canada, as they navigate the emotional challenges of giving life to a baby that they will say goodbye to after birth. In a forward-thinking country that's seen a dramatic increase in surrogacy of an estimated 400% over the last decade, the programme meets the women behind the statistics to find out why they do it.
