Video file

Gestational surrogacy is where a woman carries a baby for an individual or couple who provide the eggs and sperm – the baby is not the biological child of the surrogate. In this clip from a 2007 television documentary Sherilee Randle talks about how she decided to become a surrogate mother for Karen and Jeff Hill.
