Does Baby M belong to her birth mother, or to the parents who commissioned the pregnancy?

Appellate courts willing, Baby M has finally found a permanent home.

Baby M (born 1986), subject of noted custody case between the egg donor/surrogate mother and the child's biological father.

"I always hope people will forget there's a Baby M, and she can be normal like other children," he said.

And let us not forget Baby M herself - she has come into the world because of surrogacy.

It is what, finally, seems most surprising to me about the Baby M case.

To the world, the infant known as Baby M is the central figure in a landmark custody fight.

As the case of Baby M shows all too clearly, such criteria are sorely needed.

The one thing that would be clearly tough is for Baby M to be shared.
