I would like to think I could BUT I think I would become to attached, I love being pregnant and I already have a undeniable love for my baby, would it be different if I knew I was doing this for someone else? What are your thoughts?

My good friend has been a surrogent 3 times. Not once has she had a problem. Yes she loves those babies to death and she is actually involved in 1 of there lives to this day. She knew with all of them that she was helping a family fufill their dreams of being parents and loved that fact. Giving the baby to there parents was an easy thing to do when she walked into it and that is the key.
For me I couldn't do surrogent because well honestly I love kids and I especailly love mine but i hate being pregnant.

I think that I would LOVE to be a surrogate mother. I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old and that is enough for me, but I loved being pregnant and going through childbirth! I think it would be one of the most rewarding things to do - just imagine how happy you could make an unfortunate couple! Of course - I would want to be an "aunt" or something to the baby. NOW, my husband on the other hand would probably hate it!!!

I've thought of this before as I knew someone who wanted children and could not. I ended up telling her to adopt because there are so many children in need of good homes who are already here. ... ...I thought I could be one before I had my own child... ...the emotions and love that I went through while being pregnant were so strong that I could never think that I could have ever handed her over to someone else. ... ...I think some people are selfish and want a baby from day one and thats why they want another person to carry the child to birth. .. ...there are babies and many children of all ages that need loving homes and the idea of being a parent is being a good one to a child no matter how old. ... ...good question...i hope it makes some people really think... ...

I have two childfen of my own that I love dearly. I feel that you automatically attach to a child growing inside of you, but I think that I could be a surrogate mother. There are so many people that cannot have children that would make really great parents. I would be a surrogate for people that i know are truly good people.

I think I could do it for someone I really cared about like a best friend or sister who couldn't carry a baby themselves. I would just keep in mind from the get go that this is their baby, not mine.
On the other hand, I could never give up a child of my own for adoption. I think the difference is knowing from the beginning who the baby belongs to.

I would love to become a surrogate mother once I have finished my own family, I think it would be so great to give someone the best gift in the world

Actually, I've thought about this. If the baby was the biological child of BOTH parents and had no eggs from me, I think that I could do it. I love to be pregnant, but I would love to make another couple that happy too. If the eggs came from me, it would be MY child and then I don't think that I could do it.

As a matter of fact I could be. I was. I had the baby on Feb 23rd. She was my biological child. I done it for wonderful friends of ours who couldn't have kids of their own. I am not going to lie it was difficult but knowing I created a family was worth it. If I had the chance to do it over I wouldn't change a thing!!! How many people can say they gave that kind of gift? I now can. I even get to see the baby and I love her to death but I am her aunt not mom. So it is possible but it is definitely not for everyone to do.

I really don't think that I could do it for anybody but family. Meaning a sister or close aunt. I would have to know that the baby would be going into a very loving home.
However I would have to constantly remind myself that it was totally thier bun and my oven!

When I was single, my sister and her husband were having a horrible time getting pregnant. I offered to be a surrogate to them, her egg and his sperm, I'd just be the womb. After I got married I mentioned it to them again, this time in front of my husband. He freaked out and said "No way". He explained to me later that he felt pregnancy was too hard and too emotionally involved to do without first talking it over with your spouse.
