That is heartbreaking no matter how many children she had- the thought of carrying that child and giving it to another family must have been devastating even if they were the Bio parents.

Wow I hadn't heard this story Deb. Really uplifting and inspiring. I wish more stories like this were headline news.

I first heard about this story when the Savages appeared on the Today Show. I was humbled by their grace and selflessness in the face of this horrible situation. My heart goes out to Carolyn Savage and her family. I pray that they had a few minutes with the baby to say hello and goodbye (as they indicated they hoped for). And I pray for their peace and serenity in the coming days, months and

It's a really complex situation for everyone involved ..both will grieve different things.
I cannot imagine it having been through infertility and IVF myself ... I don't know if I could do the selfless thing.

This is such a touching story. I was not aware of it. Thank you so much for sharing it. I think my heart got a little bit bigger.

I hadn't heard about this! I'm pretty much living in a cave in the library these days, though...

What an amazing woman. People like her make me feel better about the world.

I must live under a rock or something, because I had not heard of this story.

How touching, and what a selfless act Mrs. Savage did. I could not imagine.

2009-10-01T13:46:23.754-04:00

This is a local story for me as well. Apparently the DNA mom's maiden name is Savage and she hyphenates... so therein lies part of the answer to how this could happen, it wasn't just a random accident. I think it's amazing that she was so selfless and helped this other couple have their child. I only hope that she has some healing and realizes what an amazing thing she did when she

To answer the question in your blog title, I don't know. I like to think that I could. I may be able to but I'll never know. I can't even imagine that the clinic made a mistake of this size.

It was a wonderful and heartwarming story! hugs

It was a wonderful and heartwarming story!

Something to inspire us to keep our hearts open in this increasingly volatile world. Kudos to this Mom; I'd vote for her as Mother of the Year.

I never read the story in the news for fear it had a sad, custody fight ending. I'm so happy to have visited you and read this. For whatever reason, I feel like crying. That is so not hot at work.

2009-09-30T09:10:48.700-04:00

Wow, that's incredible. I hadn't heard of the story but it's quite moving and wonderful to hear in these crazy times. Unfortunately, it won't get as much attention as the less deserving.

The Savages are AWE-SOME! It's the kindest most loving thing a woman could do-- no matter how many children she already has. I take my hat off to her.

2009-09-29T15:31:54.150-04:00

It's amazing to hear this kind of stuff. I think a lot of women would do what she did. I know I would. I don't see any reason not to, I guess.

Am I over simplifying it? I dunno. It just couldn't be a happier ending in my opinion.

This is an amazing story. Mrs. Savage did a wonderful thing. First child or not, she did the right thing and she's a hero as far as I'm concerned.
