As Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West consider a surrogate pregnancy, a woman who has been a surrogate twice over says the journey to match any parent or parents with a woman who will carry a child and then give it up to them is filled with emotion on both sides.
“I hoped for everything I got,” two-time surrogate Dayna tells People, which is withholding her last name. “I didn’t want it to be a business transaction. I didn’t want it to feel like that.”
“It was never about money,” says the 37-year-old stay-at-home Pennsylvania mom. “I wanted it to be personal.

London -- Miles and Jimi. Jimi and Miles. Fans of the late trumpet and guitar masters have long known that Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix had been making plans to record together in the year before Hendrix's sudden death in 1970.
But less attention has been paid to the bass player they were trying to recruit: Paul McCartney, who was busy with another band at the time.
This tantalizing detail about the super group that never was – jazz standout Tony Williams would have been on drums – is contained in an oft-overlooked telegram that Hendrix sent to McCartney at The Beatles' Apple Records in London on Oct. 21, 1969.
"We are recording and LP together this weekend in NewYork," it says, complete with typographical errors. "How about coming in to play bass stop call Alvan Douglas 212-5812212. Peace Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Tony Williams."

London -- Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney is engaged to girlfriend Nancy Shevell, his publicist said Friday.
McCartney, 68, started dating the 51-year-old New York socialite and businesswoman nearly four years ago following his bitter split from second wife Heather Mills.
McCartney publicist Stuart Bell confirmed recent media speculation over a proposal as true, but declined to give further details on when and how the former Beatle asked Shevell to marry him, saying only "we're all thrilled for him."
The marriage will be McCartney's third; his first wife, Linda, died of cancer in 1998. His 2002 marriage to Mills ended in divorce in 2008.
Shevell was married for more than 20 years to attorney Bruce Blakeman, a close friend of former New York Gov. George Pataki, who appointed her to the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
She also is the vice president for administration of New England Motor Freight Inc., a New Jersey-based trucking company owned by her father.

The Beatles legend, Sir Paul McCartney, 68, began dating American heiress Nancy Shevell, 51, in 2007, a year after ending his marriage to former model-turned-activist Heather Mills.
They have kept their relationship relatively low-key, although they stepped out together on Monday, May 2, to attend the annual Met Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A report on People.com early on Friday suggested the couple is ready to exchange vows and now Sir Paul McCartney's publicist has confirmed the happy news.
Representative Stuart Bell tells the Associated Press, "We're all thrilled for him."
It will be McCartney's third trip to the altar. He lost his beloved first wife, Linda, to breast cancer in 1998 and was married to Mills for four years before their bitter split in 2006, which saw the star hand over $38.9 million (GBP24.3 million) to settle the divorce.
Shevell has been married once before.
