Westword's 1995 "Best of Denver"

Best Surrogate Mothers

It used to be that when you had a baby your mother- or someone like your mother- would almost assuredly come to help out during the first few sleepless weeks of learning to live with it. And in those pre-HMO days, hospital maternity wards weren't so darned anxious to boot you and your newborn out the door to make room for the next paying customer. But things aren't so simple or nuclear anymore. MotherCare of America's Joan Goode offers a doula service (a Greek term that means something like "mother for the mother"), which dispatches a crew of highly maternal helpers into homes for a few hours a day (or more if needed) during those first weeks of parental adjustment to help with the little things- like breast feeding, making lunch, or bathing the babe. But hurry; Goode is already taking reservations for the popular service.
