Surrogate Mother

Baby & Mother Hands Pictures, Images and Photos

How many of you believe that Surrogacy is a way to bring the happiness of parenthood to a couple who would otherwise not have been able to enjoy it. What are your thoughts on Surrogate Mothers? Would you become one for a friend or stranger? Do you know of anyone who's done this...what was their experience like?

I just want to know this because a friend of mine is very heartbroken when her sister rejected her plea to become a surrogate mother for them. My friend cannot conceive due to her Medical condition. Her sister thinks they should adopt a baby instead.

Her sister is not comfortable with this - that's HER choice to make. Yes, the lady is heartbroken, but she cannot ask someone to do what they in their heart feel they cannot.

Imagine if the sister agreed, and then found she could not "hand over" the child after it was born?

i go for adoption. it is a win-win situation for both the adoptee and the adopted. the adoptee will give his total devotion because they are in "permanent" relationship and the adopted will surely acknowledge it.

i am extremely uncomfortable with this entire concept.i mean...a woman's womb is not just a reaction cell,for God's sake!a place that can be bought or rented!

adoption is always better.like brit said,u're gifting a helpless child a life!

A close friend of mine did it for her sister.

Her sister and her husband had been trying to concieve for 10 years..... and, she too, had a terminal condition though (cancer). Its like one of those Grey's Anatomy kinda things.... she was terminal (obviously found out later) but desperately wanted a baby with her husband and they wanted it as their own (genetics, etc.).

My friend bore the child for them.... it wasn't money, it was sheer generosity on her part.

It took about 3 tries and also one miscarriage but it worked. 5 Years after their son was born, her sister died (2 years ago).

Obviously, this in itself brings up all kinds of issues to discuss but the time they had as a family was wonderful, the father was well aware of what he was getting himself into and has his son.

Support it or no (which I do if thats the way a couple chooses to go), its a choice.

Lastly, genetics also plays a part.... you know both sides of the childs genetic makeup and although it doesn't guarantee anything, you can address issues such as strong family history (for a medical background) that sometimes isn't always an option with adoption.

I would opt for adoption. Surrogacy always has the danger of the "surrogate mother" becoming attached to the baby and not wishing to let go.

In addition, adoption means that a child "already in this world" is being given a loving home..

I'm not a father, so i cant say how i'd feel, but if my wife couldnt concieve a child and i were to opt for a surrogate mother, i dont think i'd have any emotional attachment to that woman but a deep sense of gratitude is that the same?

FS its quite natural to feel a emotional attachment to a baby growing inside you for 9 months, however if you keep in mind that the child is for someone else and your only helping bring it into this world, i dont think it will be too hard to do when u see the joy on the face of the other couple? I could be wrong but then what emotional attachment to the biological father should u be worried about hmmm?

I think no matter how you look at it there's going to be a special bond between the surrogate and the mother and father.

Is there a possibility for that Man to have a special Feeling for the women who carried his child? isnt it a natural bonding? even if they don’t have any physical relation?

Actually if a woman already has enough kids as per her family plan i dont see what is inhuman about it? Infact the child will have love from two mothers, one that brougt it into the world and one that will take care of it. Unless u dont want the child to know the real mother then thats a different thing but if its like between two sisters then it shouldnt be a problem.

I think it would be very very very difficult, which is probably why it's important to know and love the people you're doing it for....

I agree with smoke...

I would surrogate..for someone close to me......but then again... I am skeptical about having an emotional attachment with the child and the biological father...so I don’t think I can do it! My friend is in India… so anyway I cannot do it in this situation…

Well, my friend is engaged to someone so it's not like it would be a stranger and it's not being a experiment. You go to the doctor and they take you through everything, but basically they will take an egg from the woman and sperm from a man and put them in a little dish so that the sperm can fertilise the egg. Then they are injected into the womb to start growing into a baby. Then when the baby is born, the baby goes to it's parents as it is their baby.

adoption is better method....

Emotional link will continue to stay between mother and child...difficult to break/keep away the natural relationship....and it is inhuman.

I vote for surrogate mothers. This way you get to choose who the mother is. I would never be able to go to an adoption center its like shopping for kids and thats just wrong as every child deserves a home and love of parents and when u go there looking for certain preferences like skin color, hair, nose, whatever its like your shopping for a product and not a child. Imagine what the child goes through when parents dont pick them. I could never do that.

I don't think I could personally be a surrogate mother..However I do see the benefits of the system. I have to disagree with t-coffee about the number of abandoned children in the world, In the West adoption wait lists are 10 or more years long, and for many it's cheaper to surrogate then to fly to China or India to adopt a child.

Already so many abbonded babies who are in need of a good home

You get to choose the sex of the baby
