My bad. I've seen "bio mom" used synonymously with "birth mom", even when the surrogate is implanted with an egg fertilized by others. I think that's why Crystal went to Michigan to be recognized by law as the mother, and that the genetic dad (not the genetic mom) had to legally give up parental rights. But, then I've also seen "bio mom" used synonymously with "genetic mom" (who would be the donor).
I should have just used "birth" or "surrogate" or "genetic" mom when referring to Crystal.
To clarify, I think that Crystal, the surrogate mom, seems flaky. I think the genetic parents had the right to ask for an abortion since it's their genetic child. But, I don't think that a forced abortion, even in the case of where the woman is implanted with a fertilized egg, is right.
