Would You Have a Baby for Someone Else?

I have considered being a surrogate. It would have to be the perspective parents' sperm and egg, so it's their baby and not mine. Why would I? I feel so blessed to have my children and I'm really sad for those who can't experience the love of their own child : ( I would be devastated to know I could never have children. I'd be okay with adoption though. My hubby was a little wierded out about me carrying someone elses child. I think he was more worried about what others' would think though.

no because you have to give up the baby im not going through all that pain for somebody else

I would, bt only if it were for someone I was really close to, like my best friend or my sister. Pregnancy is hard enough to go through, but I think being a surrogate would be a really amazing thing to do, and I admire anyone that has already done it.

yes

When I was younger -- I'm now 38 -- I thought I might be able to be a surrogate for someone. Now, I don't think I could.

I don't think I could be a surrogate mother, because I would get too attached to the baby.

i can do it it rubish.

I don't think I could do it. If I had a baby I would want to keep it.

I was a surrogate mother for my parents, my mom couldnt have any more children and after she remarried to my stepdad (I consider him my dad because I never really knew my real dad, and he is the one who raised me and took care of me) I went through the pregnancy and gave them a healthy 7 lb 12 oz 21in lil boy, he is now 5 yrs old and will be 6 in february, then i had my son the next year, lol..... For me it wasn't that hard to give him up to them, I guess because I wasn't ready to be a parent at the time, and I saw how happy he made them.

no, but i have heard this kinda story.it is illegal in my country.even though i can understand the pepole they can't go through pregnancy.

i would say yes i would, i could not however do it now as i had a hysterctomy in may. but i would if i could

I was asked this by my sil who could not have children anymore she did have 2 older boys. I did give it some thought but my problem was i don't think i could have given the baby over to her after i had carried it nine months. Maybe if she did not have any children i might have been able to but i don't think so.

No, I have my own

I used to think that I would be a surragate for someone, but not after having my own baby. that changed everything for me. people that can do it are awesome and should be given a lot of credit.

I would like to think I would especially for someone that I care about a great deal, such as a family member or close friend. But I don't know how I'd react if I was actually asked. I think I would have to pray about it and think hard about who the baby is for and stuff. Have you?

Before I had kids of my own, I always thought I would be able to be a surrogate mother for someone. But now that I have kids of my own, I still feel I can...only difference is that I would want to see the child from time to time (as a family friend). I would never tell the child I was the surrogate mother (unless the parents did). I understand that even though the surrogate mother carries the child in the womb, technically the child belongs to the parents (most of the time only the embryo is implanted in the surrogate mother's uterus). Though this is how I personally feel, I don't think my husband would encourage me.

no I think it would be too emotional for me.

as selfish as it seems, I would never be able to do this for someone. Going through a pregnany is such a personal thing. You feel the child growing inside you, the first kick, hearing their heart beat for the first time... I just don't see how you couldn't fall in love with the child, even if it was an implanted embryo. It would be too difficult to give the child up

I would only if i was the oven ie.. i have her egg and partners sperm so i would only beable to help those who cant carry it. that way i know in my heart its not my child as its not my egg i just carryed it.

I do not think I could do it. I would however be able to donate eggs to someone that I was close too. But to have the child in me growing and forming that bond, connection....no I do not think I could hand the baby over in the end. It takes a VERY strong woman to do that, and I admire those that can.
