Abstract
The chapter describes intending parents (IPs) narrative accounts of their experiences of egg donation and surrogacy in India. IPs describe non-technological selection in their narratives of family formation, referred to in this chapter as selective moments. IPs emotional investments in these moments are highlighted in the narratives of selecting gamete donors and surrogate mothers. Drawing on data from two different groups of participants, the chapter examines how selective moments differ for gay men and heterosexual couples. The thread that connects all the instances discussed is the emotion embedded in the selective processes involved in commercial surrogacy as conveyed by Australian IPs.
