Bey, Jay, Blue, and........... the Surrogate?

At first, I didn't really believe it... I mean why would Beyonce lie about something like this? And why would people insist she's lying? I've seen all the videos that question whether or not she was really pregnant—like the infamous Australia video where her stomach kind of collapsed, but the latest video taken just 49 hours before she supposedly had her baby show her practically jumping into an SUV to avoid paparazzi. That's when I was like wait a minute.... anyone whose pregnant, and more importantly—about to give birth—cannot just jump into an SUV like that.

Then I started to put all the pieces together—before this pregnancy, Beyonce was notoriously private. I was amazed at the way she revealed her pregnancy at the BET Hip Hop Awards. I know the royal hip hop couple probably don't get to spend as much time together than your average couple, but you cannot tell me that a private couple like Jay and Bey would actually pull such a publicity stunt, but it all makes perfect sense. Maybe Beyonce can't have children, maybe she's been trying for all this time since she's been married to Jay and maybe Solange's giving birth before her bothered her, her being the older sibling and all, which is not all that uncommon btw. There's no shame in not being able to have kids or using a surrogate (or IVF) to build your family. It is a shame if you feel the need to be dishonest about it. 
I feel where she's coming from though, I really do. I have the same fear of not being able to have children, or waiting to late to have them. Hell I'll be turning 40 in almost two months to the day, I'm still not married, but would like my own kids. The problem is I have to be married to have them—It's a personal choice for me, but I refuse to have children out of wedlock. 

I won't blame her, but it's nothing to be ashamed of if you can't have children of your own. Yes, we all want to see an image of ourselves in our own children, but for some of us this isn't an option. The bright side is there are soooo many children who need a good home, so all is never lost.
