Good for Them!

Looks like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting via gestational carrier.
I thought the article was nice (not all of the comments are - so read those at your own risk).

The comments make me wonder about what I would think if things weren't the way they are. Would I be as understanding/open (I can't quite think of the word I want to use) to the ideas of donor gametes, donor embryos, gestational carriers if I wasn't faced with that as an option?
I know that even 6 months ago I had no idea of the ins and outs of adoption (and I still don't). Since then, I have a greater appreciation for how far from a "sure thing" it really is - and how long it can take.

I wouldn't wish some of my feelings and experiences with IF on my worst enemy, but I do wish there were a way that everyone could understand just a little bit better.
