Historically, surrogacy has been perceived as a solution for heterosexual couples experiencing difficulties in conceiving. Advocates for surrogacy would often narrate the poignant stories of couple's struggles with infertility, painting a picture of surrogacy as an exclusive route for heterosexual couples. However, the reality floats far from this stigma. Data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information paints a different picture, showing a sharp increase in the number of same-sex couples and single parents choosing surrogacy.

A review of the 2014-2016 data from surrogacy agencies Family Source and Circle Spotlight revealed that 35% of their clients were in fact, same-sex couples. This bracing slice of information illuminates the need to rectify preconceived notions. On the other hand, a report from Boston IVF quoted that during the same time span, 50% of their gestational surrogacies were for gay men.

These real-life narratives and statistics underline the inclusivity that surrogacy embodies. Rather than being tied down to antiquated ideas, it has embraced changing societal norms. Our understanding of 'family' is expanding and the surrogacy industry is responding to this positive shift.

In the words of Dr. Kim Bergman, a licensed psychologist specializing in third-party reproduction, "Using surrogates allows gay men the unique opportunity to have a 100% genetic connection to their babies." The need to forge this biological connection transcends sexual orientation, underscoring that the instinct to parent is universal.

Painting surrogacy as a reserve for heterosexual couples also dismisses the experience of single individuals for whom this path opens doors to parenthood. Single parents, by choice, increasingly seek surrogacy to expand their families. Whether due to personal preferences or circumstantial necessities, they find it as an empowering journey towards parenthood.

Moulding and scratching the painted murals of conventional wisdom indeed becomes a necessity when facts tell a different story. It introduces us to a broader world, where love for a child isn't confined to heterosexual couples alone. It is indeed a universal emotion echoing in the hearts of individuals across diverse orientations.

What is the implication of piercing through these misconceptions? It underscores the capacity of societies to adapt and transform, in this case, towards a more inclusive world. It emboldens individuals who yearn to explore parenthood outside the established norms. It ensures surrogacy services, which are expanding themselves to enrich the lives of diverse clientele.

In conclusion, it is quintessential to remember that the essence of surrogacy shines on a love for family, a love that is roared by different voices, in different tonalities, resonating through heterosexual couples, same-sex couples, and single parents alike. Let's uplift these voices instead of muffling them behind the veils of misconception.
