January 18, 2011 - Nicole Kidman, 44 years old, and husband Keith Urban have surprised celebrity fans by announcing they have become parents again!

The couple, who already have two-year-old daughter Sunday Rose, used a surrogate to have a second baby, reports the Daily Mail.

The baby girl, named Faith Margaret, was born last month in Nashville.

The couple did not reveal they were expecting during the pregnancy, and have not commented on their reasons for using a surrogate.

Sunday Rose was born to Nicole two years ago without the use of a gestational carrier (Nicole's term for the surrogate mum), but Nicole and Keith have confirmed they are the biological parents of the new arrival.

Surrogate Motherhood and the Politics of Reproduction
by Susan Markens

-- Susan Markens takes on one of the hottest issues on the fertility front--surrogate motherhood--in a book that illuminates the culture wars that have erupted over new reproductive technologies in the United States.

In an innovative analysis of legislative responses to surrogacy in the bellwether states of New York and California, Markens explores how discourses about gender, family, race, genetics, rights, and choice have shaped policies aimed at this issue.

She examines the views of key players, including legislators, women's organizations, religious groups, the media, and others.

In a study that finds surprising ideological agreement among those with opposing views of surrogate motherhood, Markens challenges common assumptions about our responses to reproductive technologies and at the same time offers a fascinating picture of how reproductive politics shape social policy.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost our precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted there will be no more babies in our house.
