Just curious?!!?

Question

Let's say that you have difficulty conceiving a child and you consider getting a surogate when that child is born is it gonna be your biological child or the other woman's child. I know that some people do it using their own eggs. I just wonder how that works.

Answer 1

If it's the surrogate's eggs, it's her biological child, and you might as well just adopt.

If it's your own eggs, the odds of the pregnancy working out are slimmer, but it would be your biological child if you had the time, money, committed relationship and emotional strength to endure the whole process. I still think a person might as well adopt.

Answer 2

Without editorializing - if it's your gametes being used, then biologically it would be your child. You would be primed to super-ovulate with hormones, the eggs harvested and ideally fertilized (because fertilized store better if frozen) and then implanted when the surrogate was ready physically for eggs to be placed in her.

Unfertilized ova can be stored - but there are issues with ice crystals destroying the eggs. And the fertilized eggs don't need to be frozen, although some research has implied it helps with pregnancy success.

The only thing a surrogate provides is a uterus where her body can nourish a developing fetus successfully - no DNA of hers, just the environment.

Answer 3

An infant bonds with the mother who carries him/her. Bonding begins in utero, very early in the pregnancy. The infant even assimilates some of her DNA. Surrogacy is a bad idea because it creates a child with the INTENTION of separating him/her from his/her mother at birth.

Studies done in the last 5+ years have proven that infants are damaged by separation from their mothers. The brain does not develop as it should, and there is also permanent emotional and psychological damage.

It is always a bad idea to push against mother nature. We know this by instinct, but scientists are proving our instincts have been right all along.

Answer 4

To use a saragate mother, the Drs. use your eggs and your partners sperm and they insert it into the surogate mother. When that child is born, it is YOUR and your partners biological child, NOT the surogate mothers. Hope this helps!
