    accepting the fact that Maggie is so distraught over having a child she doesn’t know about.  Realistically, it was only one cell removed from her body and given (or taken by) to someone else.  How can you have any feelings invested in something so insignificant?  It’s not like she carried it for nine months and then lost it. 

    If that makes me cold and unfeeling, well, I guess I am, but I just can’t see getting so emotional over losing an egg.  Cripes, women lose one (or more) every month.  Would a man have the same feelings if his sperm had been frozen and then used by someone else?

    story and her reaction has been way over the top for me.  Let’s cut the hysterics and start thinking in investigation mode to see exactly what happened.

    a “child.” Isn’t this kid supposed to be like 20?

     I imagine that Maggie’s reaction is because she always wanted another child and then finds out she has one that she doesn’t know about.

    However, they refer to  a child that is certainly a grown up so that term is wrong. Also since he/she is a grown up there is no telling if there can be a relationship with said person.

    She is reacting that way because she said she always wanted another child and that is why she held on to the eggs hoping she could use them some day.  Now there is another child out there.  So I can see why she is acting like she is.

    20 years ago is when Alice found out that one of Maggie’s eggs had produced a child, and then the payments or savings or whatever began.  It was never stated for sure exactly how many years  went by before it was discovered.  The age of the child would depend on how many years the egg was implanted producing a pregnancy, which could be many years prior to Alice finding out through her investigation that a child was in fact conceived.  That child could well be in their late 30-s, early 40’s by the time Alice found out about it.

    a fairly wide window of age possibility here? Exactly when did Maggie have this procedure?

    I thought I heard Maggie say they harvested the eggs but the procedure was still so controversial.  Then they had Sarah and saw her as a blessing.  So, I’m figuring it was before she was the surrogate and gave birth to Sarah.
