one of your coworkers became a surrogate mother? Would you make some kind of comment, positive or negative, about her being pregnant with someone else's child to help them conceive a family? Just curious, because I was considering becoming one, and I don't know how my coworkers would react. I really want to help a couple have a baby, because there is no better gift than the gift of parenthood! Thanks!

I have a 3 year old of my own, and I loved being pregnant. I know that it would be extremely difficult to give a child up, but if he/she were going to the right couple, then I would gladly do it.

And also, I NEVER said anything even along the lines of my coworker's opinions being my biggest, or even least, concern. I am just wondering how the public reacts to this. My mind is already made up, I'm doing it. I just want to know how people think.

I have a feeling that Nina's the one giving thumbs down, so she should have just avoided this question, as she is not being any help at all, only putting the rest of your opinions down.

If a woman in my workplace was a surrogate mother, I would respect her so very much. What a beautiful, amazing gift to give. It would take a special person to do that for someone else, and if you are considering that yourself, God bless you, you are an amazing person.

There are a lot of reasons FOR and AGAINST being a surrogate. Frankly, what coworkers will think is among the least significant of concerns. It is a wonderful thing to help another couple have a child, but it's no easy experience. There is a lot to think over.

Worrying about your co-workers gives me reason to think that you're not ready to be a surrogate. Have you had a child of your own? You bond with that child in your womb so it would be really hard to give up the baby that you carried even if it's not your flesh and blood. I would wait to be a surrogate until after you've had your own child so you know what your in for. I would only consider being a surrogate for my sister or maybe a really close relative because I know I would have to be able to see that baby, I couldn't just give it up. See a counselor/psychologist first before really considering to do this.

If a coworker became a surrogate mother I really wouldn't care. I think it is a great thing to do and it takes a strong person to do such a thing. I, myself, could never do it. I would be too attached. I was attached to my daughter so much before she was born. If you do it, good for you. You are a really good person. I don't see anything bad about it except that it would be really hard to give the child up... after all it would have your blood as well. If thats what you want to do, do it.

Your biggest concern while pregnant should be the child's health, not what others think about you being a surrogate. If that's your biggest concern when making this decision, then I don't think you should be a surrogate mother.
BTW, I don't rate ANY answers, (and you dont have to answer a question to rate the answers either) I feel its pointless- everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how lame of an answer they leave.

hey mi name is tarina I'm thinking of the same thing i have 4 children and that's enough for me but if Ive still got the bits that work and someone else dint work than why not i say i would prefer to carry a sperm and egg that way the baby is in no way mine but I'm happy to do either but just concerned with what is a fair price to ask as medical bills aren't cheap and help with the kids Ive got would be a help
hope this helps

I think that is a wonderful thing for you to do, and if your coworkers (or anyone for that matter) had anything to say about it, they could kiss your a**!
