The Little Couple - don't read if u didn't watch yet..

I just watched it this morning, and I was crying for them. But in a way I'm so glad that this reality is out there to share, money cannot always guarantee a baby. How much do you think they are paying that surrogate? I really love the Little Couple and so thankful they are showing their struggles on TV, while not the same, it's interesting to see the IVF.

    Surrogates receive anywhere between $20,000 - $40,000, depending on a number of factors. I'm sure theirs is no different.

    I know, I cried for them too.  Their lives have been filled with so many struggles from day one, I truly hope they get their baby soon.  I really respect the fact that they have shown how many hurdles there are in the IVF process.  We also live in Houston, I told my husband that I wish we could hang out with them :)

    I feel so bad for them.   However, I love how honestly they are portraying IVF.  It is great to have couples like this (and Guliana and Bill) really portray the pain and heartache of IF.
