The 39-year-old, legal secretary closely followed her
ambition to become a surrogate mom after Britain's first
surrogate mother Kim Cotton hit the headlines.
It was not easy for Jill to acquire the membership of
COTS or Childlessness Overcome Through Surrogacy, an
agency set up by Cotton as they took only those women
with their own babies.
"They couldn't understand why a single, childless
woman would want to be a surrogate. They could see all
kinds of problems, the main one being that I'd never be
able to hand over any baby when the time came. They
refused to believe that keeping a baby was the very last
thing on my mind," Jill was quoted, by The Sun, as
saying.
Desperate to get pregnant, Jill finally convinced
Cotton about her sincerity towards her ambition.
"Finally, she understood that I was serious and
recommended that I be put on their list. I was over the
moon. At last I was going to get the chance to get
pregnant and fulfil my desire" Jill adds.
Jill, who has already given birth to five babies over
the past 13 years and is now expecting her sixth, admits
that getting pregnant gives her a high and makes her
really happy.
"Even though carrying the baby and feeling it kick
was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced, the
baby never felt like mine. I didn't speak to it, or give
it a name and I felt no love for it," Jill says of her
pregnancy experiences.
"I've never had a problem getting pregnant and I
can't imagine what it would be like to desperately want
a child and then discover you can't have one. What could
be so wrong about helping someone reverse that
situation? Having said that, I don't want anyone to see
me as some kind of saint. I've got something out of it
too. I've experienced the most amazing thing that anyone
can experience - being pregnant and giving birth," a
gushing Jill admits.
