| User ReviewMEC rInteresting documentary.. I'm not sure I would have made the same choices they did.. but.. I'm glad it all went well... even with the problems.. |
| User ReviewD GInteresting documentary. Honestly I expected more drama but I'm glad it didnt come. Saw WAY too much of the surrogate but in the end, I enjoyed the journet Mark and Eric take to be parents. |
