37 year old surrogate, Tara Sawyer, is so addicted to pregnancy that she
won’t stop until her 'womb falls out'. And despite surrogacy laws
stating that she is entitled to £15,000 in expenses, Tara is content
purely with the 'thrill' and refuses to take any payment.
Tara has given birth to seven children, four of whom are her own, the
other three she handed over to two couples in a space of 2 years.
She's at her happiest when she's with a bulging baby bump and has no
plans to stop having babies for other people.
According to Tara:
'Surrogacy is very addictive. It’s a huge rush from the moment the test
comes back positive. It’s an amazing feeling to hand over a child to
someone who desperately wants it, and I feel at my best whilst pregnant.'
Shockingly, the first surrogate baby that she gave birth to two years
ago was biologically her daughter, but Tara didn’t feel any maternal
love for the infant.

Tara said:
'I don’t feel like I’m giving up a baby, I feel like I’m giving it back.
I don’t feel sad handing over a child that was never mine to keep.'
Tara’s husband, Matt Sawyer, 37, a truck driver, was supportive of
her decision to carry strangers’ children, so with his support, Tara
logged onto Facebook and started scouring surrogacy pages. Within a few
weeks she met a gay couple that were desperate for help having a child.
Tara donated her own egg to the couple and artificially inseminated
herself at her home in Wimblington, Cambridgeshire, using a plastic
pipette.
Tara said:
'From the moment I found out I was pregnant I was totally hooked - it
was such a rush. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. When
the baby was born there was no rush of love like when I had my other
children. But handing her over to her dads was a feeling like no other.'
Within days of giving birth to the baby girl, Tara was missing being
pregnant. Again she logged onto Facebook and met a couple who were
unable to carry children full term. On January 4 this year, she gave
birth to twin boys for the couple, but she has no plans to stop yet
Tara told DM:
I've been talking to another gay couple and I hope to be pregnant for them by the end of the year.
I know that when they are older the children will want answers,
especially my biological daughter. We’ve all decided that being open is
the best approach and I’ll answer any questions they might have - but
I’ll be clear that I’m not their mum.
When I’m not pregnant I feel empty and only a baby can fill that void.
I’m addicted to the buzz of pregnancy and if I can help childless
couples at the same time it would be insane not to. I won’t stop until
my womb falls out.'

Tara isn’t worried about the effects of pregnancy on her body, and says she is in better shape now than she was in her twenties.
'I feel at my best physically when I’m pregnant,” said Tara. “I take
vitamins, go swimming, do yoga and eat healthily. I hadn’t made as much
effort with my own pregnancies but the responsibility was bigger with
someone else’s child. I love having a bump and people cooing over the
precious little gift inside. I don’t even get stretch marks - it’s like I
was made to have babies.
