Sylvie Greenberg recently wrote a good post on college egg donors, and some legal implications that people might often be not aware of. (For example, she mentions the case of a woman who was a surrogate for a woman that suffered from paranoid-shizophrenia). She has not been informed about this prior to the surrogacy agreement, and was already pregnant when she discovered this fact and now was apprehensive to give the children to the custody of a woman that is not mentally well.

There is an interesting success story of a mixed-ethnicity couple (African wife and Caucasian husband) who underwent an egg donor treatment in India. They are living in the UK (United Kingdom), but since they found the process of finding a donor there very difficult, they also looked abroad.
The problem with egg donation in the UK is that there is a lack of egg donors, specially ethnic egg donors, and they probably would have to wait for many years to find one in the UK. So they decided to get a treatment in India. You can read more about it here…

Jennifer A. Smith wrote an interesting piece about surrogacy. She starts out by talking about surrogacy for gay couples, talking about a couple from New York that chose an egg donation agency from Madison that is gay-friendly.
She goes on to talk more about surrogacy, and how it has changed since the “Baby M” case back then.

"I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found your book! [...] After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in your book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy."
