Hi i was wondering what do you thing about becoming a seregent mother. How do you know if you can do it? I have a good friend who cant have babies so i was wondering if it would be a good idea to help her out and carie her child for nine months. Do you think it would be that easy. My son is 6 months old. So i have done pregnancy and birth before. But would it be easy to realize that the child that i would be caring inside of me is not mine. ↓

I think that's a great idea of yours to try and be a surrogate mother! ! When I first found out I was pregnant, I felt guilty because I'm so young and unprepared and there are so many other people out there that are more suitable for parenthood that can't have children.
All I can say is try doing some research on the internet and see if there are any laws, or regulations surrounding it. I don't know much about it personally, but I think you can do it in private with your friend. Just run the idea past her and if she thinks it's a good idea decide on a sperm donor or a suitable male partner together and go for it! ! ↑ |

| me and my best friend have actually been researching being seragent motherhood. i am 21 and she is 20. it has been our opinion that it would be easier knowing that the baby would go to a good home and the person really wants children. plus for me already being a mother would help ↑ |

| shannon- oh yes the lady that i have been talking to is a good friend. and has been wanting a child of her own. And she will most defiantly be a good mom and her husband will great also. My friend cant carried any babies. Cuz she had a bad hart. So i know that i will be doing a good thing. She just god married and truly wants to start a family. She asked my mom if she would. But my mom is a diabetic so there isa chance of her passing that on. and my mom doesnt want to do that. But im young have great helth. and by doin this would really make me happy. But i just dont know is i can pass on the baby that i had carried inside of me. Do you think that you would be able to do it? ↑ |

| I have actually been thinking about this alot here lately. The women is not really a friend of mine she is someone i met through a friend and they have spent all kinds of money and time on all the treatments and they would be wonderful parents. I think it would be easy to give up the baby because it is not at all yours. I mean i know you would be carrying it but it is her egg and his sperm so it is not yours at all. you just share blood with it for 9 months. I think my situation would be easier than yours because i will not see the couple that often after i have the baby and they live an hour and a half away. anyways i hope i have helped you and if you need someone to talk to let me know. ↑ |

| Thanks Erica, my friend and i live like almost 3 hours away. so we wouldn't get to see each other much either. I just really want to help her out. she has really been through a lot. She holes inside of her. A hart the once belonged to a lil girl who died. So if she cant have babies she is just grateful that she is alive. I just truly hope that once i have the baby i can go home oh with out the baby. Go in all full to the top. and come out empty handed. ↑ |

| Well first of all you cant just wake up one day and think that you can handel it to reall need to do some reserch on the topic and if you have had kids before then you know all about the hormone changes that happen yes in the end it will be hard to give up somthing the you kept a live for so long but you have to tell your self that its not my baby and you are doing it for a very good cause to let someone elce feel the joy in there lives that your own kids brought to you ↑ |

Hello.. I'm actually on the road to becoming a first time surrogate mother. I have been thinking about surrogacy for about a year. And through much thought and prayer, I have decided that this is something I would like to do.
I have been talking with a wonderful couple for a couple of weeks now, and we are talking about meeting in the next few weeks.
I'm a single mother with a beautiful 2 year old son (he will be 3 in OCT), and I can't express in words the love and joy that he given me. And it would be an honor for me to help another family experince the same joy.
By no means is this going to be easy. Especially after the birth of the baby. That's why I believe it's so IMPORTANT to have the support of family and friends, and also to go a trained counselor during the pregnancy. I know it's going to be bitter sweet.
My only advice for someone that is thinking about doing this is to do alot of research, and to know the family you will be working with. And have an attorney or agency that is familiar with surrogacy. (Because each state has different laws about surrogacy...FYI..surrogacy is illegal in Washington DC).
Another good website to visit is www.surromomsonline.com.
If anyone has any questions or would like to talk about this further, please feel free to email [email protected] ↑ |

| How does that all work?? Do you actually have to have sex with the husband?? or do they use intra uterine insemination? ↑ |
| Name: momof1 | Date: Sep 16th, 2006 1:54 AM |
There are 2 types of surrogate moms. GS (gestational surrogate),,,this is were they IP (intended parents) already have their own embryo's. You go to a clinic and the inseminate the embryos in the surrogate mothers womb.
The second type of surrogate mother is a TS (traditonal surrogate). There is were they use the surrogate mothers egg, and the IP (the fathers) sperm. This is usually done in a doctor's office. Though I have heard of some people trying to do this at home via the old turkey baster method (HEHE).
Never should a surrogate mother get pregnant via the means of any sexual contact. In my opinion this is HIGHLY unethical. ↑ |

| Dee...may I suggest you go to the website www.surromomsonline.com. I think you would have a better chance of finding someone that may be able to help you. I'm looking to be a first time surrogate, and I'm talking with a wonderful family right now, but I'm not pregnant. ↑ |

Actually i think that it is a great idea yea it may be difficult for you to realize that it isnt your child but just think, you are helping out a good friend of yours....i know for a fact that my best friend is going to do the same thing for me once i am ready to have another baby she has already done it once for me. i mean i love her to death and thank her everyday for the son that i already have thanks to her. in my opinion its just going to be a stronger bond between good friends. my friend has became like a sister to me. i help her raise her daughter and she helps me raise my son. we are just like a little family. i know that one day we arent going to be able to do the things that we do now with them but we are taking advantage of it now. if i could do it i would.
Best of Wishes

| hiya im actually considering doing it after ive had my children but only after i have completed my family. Once ive made the concious decision that i do not want more kids it will be alot easier. I think its a wonderful thing to do i have family members that have been anable to have kids and ive see the hurt it can cause. I phoned up a surrogacy agency and spoke to a surrogate mother where are you from? im in the uk ive still got there number. ↑ |
| Name: SoConfused | Date: Mar 1st, 2007 5:10 PM |
| I'm going through something similar to what you are going through. My friend can't have any more kids and she really wants to have a baby with her new husband! they're a really great couple and all and I would do anything for them. The other day she asked me to carry their baby for them because she doesn't have a uterus anymore she just has ovaries. I just dont know what to do because I want a baby of my own so badly Im scared I'll get attached to hers! does this make sense? I hope someone could help me decide! Thank You Soo Much ↑ |
| Name: mel211985 | Date: Mar 1st, 2007 10:36 PM |
| my advice to you is not to do it. When i talked to other surrogate mothers from the surrogacy agency they advised me that i would find it really difficault if i had not completed my own family although if you are friends and i mean really close friends you could be part of the childs life anyway but if you already feel that you would become to attached personally i wouldnt do it. ↑ |
