Book Description

June 15, 2009
Delivering Hope tells the story about one woman's extraordinary (often challenging, sometimes awkward) journey as a surrogate Mom.

What kind of woman chooses to become a surrogate?

What is she thinking while pregnant with someone else's child?

What is she feeling when she delivers a baby to the arms of the parents?

Does she want it back?

In this honest and engaging story, tender moments and humorous anecdotes punctuate the evolution of surrogacy relationship from a tentative beginning, as the surrogate and intended parents come together in mutual respect to share the life-changing joy of creating a family.

From the Author:
Delivering Hope is an intimate memoir of my challenging, but fulfilling journey as a surrogate mother for a cousin devastated by infertility. After cancer treatment, Lauren is left unable to carry a baby, but with embryos frozen in storage, she and my cousin, Henry, find hope when I offer to be their surrogate. Delivering Hope reveals intimate details of struggle, courage, fear and personal sacrifice in my hopeful bid to become a surrogate mother, while my cousin and his wife wait anxiously for their child. It is an engaging story of the power of hope, triumph over adversity and the transcending joy of giving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delivering Hope, June 20, 2009
By 
This review is from: Delivering Hope: The Extraordinary Journey of a Surrogate Mom (Paperback)
This was a totally insightful look into surrogacy. Every question one would want to ask someone about surrogacy is answered in a humorous, REAL and inspiring way. The book takes you through the beginning of the thought process all the way to the end. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next; how would things turn out? would it take? would the baby be ok? would Pam want to keep the baby? And how would her husband and kids respond? It is all creatively written for you to understand her every thought. An Excellent read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delivering generosity, patience and hope, July 19, 2009
This review is from: Delivering Hope: The Extraordinary Journey of a Surrogate Mom (Paperback)
This book tells a delighful story but also takes away the mystery surrounding surrogacy. Pamela so honestly writes of her experience that her book reads like a conversation you could be having with her at her kitchen table. It's a wonderful story full of little lessons about generosity, patience and hope.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Story...Delivering Hope, July 19, 2009
By 
LL (Cardiff, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Delivering Hope: The Extraordinary Journey of a Surrogate Mom (Paperback)
I loved this book! It is a beautiful and inspiring story about surrogacy, and about the many emotions and shared decisions both couples had to make prior to and throughout the pregnancy. When I started the book, I thought..."I could do that. I could be a surrogate.", but after reading it, I realized that it is WAY more complicated than I had ever imagined and that really, only a small percentage of people could pull off an amazing miracle like the one described in this book by Pam MacPhee.
