Imagine being in a relationship where you both agree not to have kids, only for your partner to discover you were once a surrogate for your sister. That’s what happened to a 28-year-old woman who has been dating her 29-year-old boyfriend for over two and a half years. She never thought it was necessary to disclose her past surrogacy, but a family visit and some old photos brought the truth to light. Now, her boyfriend feels betrayed and wonders why she won’t consider having a child with him. Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster.
