if you had a friend who could noy concieve children or maybe a family member and this was tearing them apart would you have a baby for them? or would you just stand and watch them be unhappy?

I could never have a baby for someone else. I do not think that it would matter who wanted to have a child, because I could not do it. I do not think I could carry a child for 9 months and then give the child up. Even if I knew they would be in a very loving family, I could not ever give up my child. I would have too much love to give the child to someone else. This is just my own opinion. I know there are some people who would gladly do this for someone that they loved. I think it is wonderful that some are able to provide children to great couples.

I believe that people who were meant to have children, are blessed with them, one way or another. Those that were not meant to have children, are not.

No, I wouldn't. If they want a baby that badly, there are babies who need to be adopted. I know this sounds harsh, but people need to learn to deal with life and quit trying to force something that wasn't meant to be.

There would be a lot of things to consider. How close am I to the friend? Even if it is a family member doesn't mean that there is closeness there. And that would be what it would take for me. I hate to see anyone be unhappy for this kind of a reason but I don't know if it started out me getting pregnant for them if I could end up giving the baby up. There is a closeness that a child and mom has while the baby is inside of the mom. So your question is a very hard question to answer and know if that ever happened if I would be strong enough to give the baby up.

If my friend asked me, part of me would want to say yes, but I have a fiance to consider. I couldn't say yes to my friend without discussing it with my fiance and see how he would feel about it. And if I couldn't for whatever reason, then I would definitely try to help my friend in any way I could.

I could never have a baby for someone else. I commend people who are able to do this though. I just know that for me it wouldn't be right. I would never be able to let go when the time came and this would just cause problems and heartache for everyone involved.
