‘This is so emotional to watch’ – Surrogate mum emotional as baby’s family take their newborn

An emotional video of a surrogate mother and her newborn baby has gone viral on the internet.

A surrogate mother is usually hired by a family or couple who are having difficulty having a baby.

Surrogate mothers are charged with carrying and birthing the biological baby of a couple. This is done when the bio mum is unable to carry her own child for various reasons.

But the mother in the viral video had trouble releasing the child due to her already forming an emotional attachment to the baby.
