Krimmel states that every woman who wants to be a surrogate has some sort of reason for wanting to do so. Surrogates are motivated by money, the opportunity to address some past emotional trauma, the pleasure of being pregnant, altruism, or a combination of these.

Therefore, the child has a price. (Krimmel,
