Nollywood sweetheart Ini Edo has opened up about motherhood, pain, healing, and the quiet power of a woman\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Speaking recently at the <\/span>Meet Surrogate Mothers<\/span><\/em> free IVF conference, the movie actress bared her soul as she walked attendees through her deeply personal journey to motherhood via surrogacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Ini Edo, the choice wasn\u2019t born out of luxury or convenience. It came after enduring multiple heartbreaking miscarriages.<\/a> She said;<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI wanted to be a mother, married or not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But while many may assume surrogacy is all about paperwork and payment, Ini shut down that narrative real quick. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t transactional. It was intimate,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the 43 year old, the woman who carried her child wasn\u2019t just a name on a document. She had her own life, values, and dreams, and together, they bonded over the miracle they were creating. Ini Edo stressed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cShe wasn\u2019t just a vessel. I was involved in everything \u2014 emotionally, medically, personally. We walked the journey together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The <\/span>Shanty Town actress also <\/span><\/a>used the platform to call for a change in how society views surrogacy, especially in Nigeria, where stigma still lingers. She commended the Nigerian House of Representatives for proposing a bill that bans commercial surrogacy while allowing for strictly altruistic arrangements. She added:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was happy when I saw the proposed ban on commercial surrogacy\u2026 but more importantly, the bill also seeks to protect both the surrogate and the intended parents.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"

Ini emphasised the need for legal backing, informed consent, and protection against coercion in all surrogacy arrangements. In the mother of one\u2019s words:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSurrogacy is not a baby factory. It\u2019s a bridge between despair and joy, between strangers who become family, between the impossible and the miraculous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
