    Hi Linda, While looking at commercial surrogacy in India for a university course, I noticed that most other sources give the contribution of surrogacy to the indian economy as $445 million not billion. Interestingly the academic articles that quoted this figure got it from an unreferenced article in Marie Claire magazine. Cheers
