If a family member or a close friend asked you to be a surrogate mother would you?

Answer 1

i've told my sisters that if they couldn't have kids i would carry one for them. i would only do it for my sisters. at one time the drs told my older sis that she wouldn't be able to have any other children, she had one at the time. i told her if she wanted one i would carry the kid for her. come to find out the dr was wrong and she got preg. i love my sisters and if they couldn't have one and they wanted one i would make it happen for them to make them happy. i don't think i could ever do it for anyone else.

Answer 2

I think it would be an honor to have someone ask me. To have that much faith and trust in you would be awesome. However, there are lots of kids that need good homes and adoption can and is a beautiful thing. I was adopted when I was only a few weeks old. So were my brothers and sister. We have no blood ties but one would never know it.
We are as close, if not more-so, then most blood related families.
If you are asking this question because you are thinking of doing it, or you are thinking of asking a close friend or family member then I wish you the best of luck. I think as long as the surrogate stays in very close contact with the bio parents all can work out splendidly.

Answer 3

That is a very tough decision. I had a friend of mine ask once to be a surrogate mother and I froze! I didn't know what to say. I couldn't carry a baby for 9 months and then give that child away. Even if you KNOW it's not yours, it's hard because, everything you go through in pregnancy, bonds you with your baby. I wouldn't do it. It would be to hard.

Answer 4

Nope. Not for any amount of money and for no one, no matter how close.

There's enough kids in the world that need a home...

I can't have kids, so 'they' tell me. I've had offers for a surrogate. But I'd never do it. I figure, if I am supposed to birth a child, I'd have it myself.

If I don't have my own by the time I'm 40, I'll adopt.

Answer 5

Wow! That is a tough one. You know, honestly you really can't answer that question unless you are put in the situation and if you are think very long and very hard and let only YOU make up your mind. Personally, I don't think I could just for the simple fact that if a baby was growing in me, I know I wouldn't be able to give it up. But it really depends on the circumstance. Say for instance, if my sister couldn't have a child and I was 100000000...% sure she was in a great relationship and she could physically, mentally and financially give this child the life that every child deserves, then I just might. But probably for her and not a friend. Family is forever.

Answer 6

I would only do it if I knew beyond a doubt that I was strong enough>>> emotionally. Some women believe they can do it, but then, while the baby is in their womb, they can become too attached (emotionally) & not want to let go of the baby when it's born. Even though they know in their mind that the baby is not theirs, their heart just can't bare the thought of letting go. It can be damaging... so it would be wise to go thru guidance counselling before making a final decision.

Answer 7

If this had been asked of me just 4 months ago, I wouldnt have hesitated to say "Yes!" But, after I lost our darling Rebecca at just 16 wks of pregnancy just under 4 months ago, I now dont think I could do it. I know this might sound selfish to some, but its hard to imagine carrying a baby, only to lose it again.

Answer 8

i'm a guy, so i can't truly answer this question, but hell no i wouldn't.

there's more to it than just doing a very big favor for a very close friend. once you have the baby growing inside you, you begin to build an emotional attachment. your body goes through the same chemical changes it would if it were your baby.

at best you'll be crying for weeks after the birth. at worst you'll be spending thousands litigating custody.

Answer 9

Be consumer-pleasant your spouse and youngsters isn't a taxi service. tell them that the price of petrol is costing to a lot on your spouse and youngsters to be operating round after them. i'd sack of consumer acquaintances like this because they're only taking the p*ss. i'm getting extremely indignant with those who do no longer say thanks after having a free advance someplace manners fee no longer something ungrateful little sh*ts

Answer 10

Boy that's a hard question. I would have to think hard on that because it would be a part of me.....I guess the question for me would be.......what the circumstances are...you know what I mean.........It would just be hard.
