The Baby Nobody Wants -- Who Has Responsibility for It? A year ago The View co-host Sherri Shepherd announced she and her husband Lamar Sally were going to have a baby using a surrogate.... In the meantime, her marriage broke up and Shepherd has announced she doesn’t want to have anything to do with the unborn baby. Shepherd has no biological connection to the unborn child. It was not her egg that was used, nor her uterus. Shepherd has filed for divorce in New Jersey, which does not recognize surrogacy agreements, so it would seem she is free and clear and can walk away from the child that she ordered up from a fertility clinic. She has said, “It is not my child. I’m not paying child support.” Who is the baby’s mother? Is it Shepherd who has no biological connection to the unborn baby whatsoever? Is it the egg donor, who is likely anonymous? What about the woman who rented her womb? It’s not her baby.... Surrogacy is the deliberate creation of a race of children with no mother or father and perhaps neither. The children are considered property, and when this is done, it becomes easy for the people who ordered the children, like Shepherd, to turn their backs.
