THE SACRED THREAD:
THE SACRED THREAD:
A TRUE STORY OF BECOMING A MOTHER AND
FINDING A FAMILY—HALF A WORLD AWAY
BY ADRIENNE ARIEFF
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A touching and surprising memoir about one woman's journey to motherhood and family that illustrates the power of love and triumph of the human spirit.
Adrienne Arieff, married, 30-something, and childless in San Francisco, was eager to start a family. Three pregnancies, three miscarriages, and dozens of tests and disappointing diagnoses later, Adrienne and her husband Alex were forced to consider other options, and ended up choosing what many would consider the most unlikely and unexpected path: surrogacy. In India.
A timely, challenging, informative, and heartwarming story, THE SACRED THREAD offers one woman’s perspective on a trend that illuminates our global interconnectedness. Above all, it is the story of a unique friendship between two women from two entirely different worlds, who, with the help of a committed physician, are able to reach out to each other and cooperatively change one another’s lives.

This is new to me. I didn't know people were doing this. I would like to learn how they found out about it, and what happens.

I enjoyed the photos from India on the author's website.

not a fan of surrogacy but curious to read why someone would go to a third world country instead of the US.

I have heard of this before. It is one way of a very poor woman in India to earn money to feed her family. I would like to learn more about this as it is happening more often.
