Sherri Shepherd
Shepherd’s surrogacy experience should have been positive, but it didn’t end the best. She was open, publicly that is, about she and ex-husband Lamar Sally’s search for a surrogate. But when the whole process was underway, Sally filed for separation. She would divorce him, and Sally sought full legal and physical custody of their son, born via surrogate, allowing him to seek out child support from her and other money. She fought to not be considered the child’s mother, but was ruled in 2015 to be the other legal parent of their son, Lamar Sally, Jr., born in 2014.
