For Jill Wolfe's kids, surrogacy seems completely natural. That, the 42-year-old Minneapolis mom says, is because she and her husband began explaining things early.","There was a significant difference between family types for number of siblings, v 2 (6) = 28.84, p < .001, reflecting a lower proportion of surrogacy, egg donation, and donor insemination children than natural conception children with siblings. The SDQ discriminates well between psychiatric and nonpsychiatric samples, and evidence for concurrent validity comes from the high correlations between the total score of the SDQ and other assessments of child psychiatric disorder .
