In this beautifully written and insightful book, Elly Teman shows how surrogates and intended mothers carefully negotiate their cooperative endeavor. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork among Jewish Israeli women, interspersed with cross-cultural perspectives of surrogacy in the global context, Teman traces the processes by which surrogates relinquish any maternal claim to the baby even as intended mothers accomplish a complicated transition to motherhood. Teman's groundbreaking analysis reveals that as surrogates psychologically and emotionally disengage from the fetus they carry, they develop a profound and lasting bond with the intended mother. 517 3 $aSurrogate body and the pregnant self 606 $aSurrogate mothers$zIsrael 606 $aMothers$zIsrael 606 $aPregnancy$zIsrael 606 $aJudaism 615 0$aSurrogate mothers 615 0$aMothers 615 0$aPregnancy 615 0$aJudaism. 676 $a306.874/3 700 $aTeman$b Elly$0792110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969346203321 996 $aBirthing a mother$91771149 997 $aUNINA
