re: Would you be a surrogate for a gay/straight couple?

I don't really care what kind of couple they are as long as they are able to be good parents, but I think I would have to be friends with them. Know them well, like them and so on. I would not be able to be so selfless as to just be a surrogate for anyone.

It's much better than being a crack whore. lmao

Why do you feel you need to know them? If a couple that you didn't know was the same as the couple you did would it make a difference?

I would want to know them bc they can SEEM to be great ppl, but I hate the idea of being misled into thinking they would be great parents just to find out later that they were not... There are too many crazies in the world today. I would want to know them just to reassure myself I am not carrying an innocent child for crackheads or something. I know there are usually screening processes through agencies and whatnot, but I also know that things can be forged and lied about and covered up. I would not mind carrying the child, I would just want to know that the couple raising it would be loving, caring ppl able to care for it. I would hate to be the vessel for a baby for ppl who should not have one.

Interesting. I just wanted to know why for some they can surrgoate for someone they know but hesitate when it comes to a stranger but other ladies have said yes without hesitation

Thats just me. I am just not comfortable carrying a baby for someone for 9 months and not be positive that they will be loving parents in particular. It would kill me to hand that baby over if I had any doubts about how well loved the child would be. Not that I would pull some bs and try to keeo the baby. Thats beyond wrong. I do not believe that crap that "I carried it, its mine"... You are a vessel to a means, not the parent. But, I would feel guilty that I enabled this child to life and have it be a bad one.

Yeah that's my fear too with people I don't know. I would have to spend a lot of time with them before I agreed to it. (if I did). Just to ensure I wasn't giving a tiny miracle a horrible life in an unsafe enviroment.

Exactly. And if I felt like something was off, I would not do it. On another note, if I ever did, I know they ppl pay a lot of money for surrogates, but I would not accept payment for it. The can cover the medical expenses, but nothing else.

I wouldn't accept money. Because Canada covers labour and stuff I don't have to worry about that but I wouldn't accept money. Just seeing them happy with their baby would be enough payment for me.

Thats exactly how I feel. I love my kids so much, that when I think of how some ppl want that so bad, just giving them that gift would be way more to me.

I agree  
I'm still not sure if I'd do it. It would have to be one of those, placed in the actual situation to know what I would do. I'm on the fence per-say lol

If I could ever do such an amazing thing as be a surrogate Mother, I would do it for either a straight or gay couple. No matter to me. As long as the child would have a good home, loving family, and be well taken care of , it wouldn't matter.

BUT , I may honestly look more into a gay couple because I know they have a smaller chance of getting a child because some people may be against it . JMO.

I think that too. That gay couples have a harder time getting a child so I would seriously be torn with them if a gay couple approached me and asked me to be a surrogate

I think that I could only be a surrogate for someone that was close friend or family. Their sexual orientation would not matter to me at all.

Quoting ChelseyD:“ Just as the title said...would you? Discuss. (Title edited)”

No, just becuase i dont think I could part with the child at the end. I applaud people who can and do though.
