Actress Ini Edo has spoken candidly about her emotional and deep bond she formed with the woman who birthed her child.
At the Meet Surrogate Mothers IVF Conference in Lagos, Ini Edo emphasized the importance of empathy in surrogacy, stating that the experience was a deeply personal and collaborative process.
She noted that her surrogate was more than just a carrier – a woman with her own family, values, and dreams who played a vital role in bringing her daughter into the world. Ini Edo stressed her active involvement in every step of the journey, from prenatal care to emotional support, underscoring that surrogacy is about shared humanity, not just a transaction.
By choosing surrogacy, Ini Edo aimed to ensure her daughter’s peace and protection.
She shared: “The surrogate who carried my child was not a stranger… she was a woman with her own family, her values, and her dreams,”
“Even though they are not physically carrying this child, they sort of walk the journey together. So when people reduce surrogacy to being just a baby factory, I think they erase these layers of humanity.”
