Important facts about surrogacy and its legalities
The practice of surrogacy is still surrounded by stigma and disinformation, and one of the primary reasons for this is the long-standing absence of legislative frameworks.
Desi girl Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas made one of the biggest announcements of the year. The couple welcomed their first child via surrogacy.
The duo took to social media on Friday, January 21, to share that they have welcomed their first baby via surrogacy. “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family,” Priyanka and Nick said in an identical post on Instagram.
While fans have been eagerly waiting to know if it is a girl or baby boy for the couple, reporters suggest that Nick and Priyanka have been blessed with a baby girl.
