Labour of Love: A Story of Generosity, Hope and Surrogacy

Author(s): Shannon Garner

Australian

Shannon Garner met and married the man of her dreams, had two gorgeous children and lived an idyllic life on the New South Wales coast. So why did she decide one day to pursue altruistic surrogacy? And what made her choose a gay male couple from Sydney? Labour of Love is Shannon's honest and engaging story, a rollercoaster of emotion set against the backdrop of a highly regulated industry'. This is no account of heartache and conflict but an uplifting story of a collective love' , one that involves a handful of people from very different walks of life who end up being so much more than family. As Shannon travels her journey of body, mind and soul, she lays bare the loving reality behind surrogacy, but also the trouble she found along the way , the internet trolls, the naysayers, and the critics keen to plant seeds of doubt, especially when international shock and controversy over Baby Gammy hit the media. Finding strength from unexpected places and dealing with her own painful childhood memories, Shannon pushed past the negativity of others to find the courage she needed to selflessly carry and birth a baby that will not be her own , and to bring the gift of a precious life and soul into the world, to be loved and cared for by her new parents.
