Becoming a surrogate mother - can a Canadian be a mom for an American couple?

I am considering being a surrogate after 2 healthy, relatively easy pregnancies. We weren't supposed to be able to have children but were blessed, so it'd be nice to give to someone who cannot.

I know in Canada it is illegal to profit from being a surrogate, aside from out-of-pocket expenses. Can a Canadian be a surrogate for Americans?Becoming a surrogate mother - can a Canadian be a mom for an American couple?
I believe that if can keep in contact with the child an make sure that the child is safe and alrigh that you can go on ahead but if you have any doubts at all.......no because most likely your conscience is showing you that you might just be making a mistake
The decision to participate in surrogacy (whether it be as a parent or as a surrogate) is extremely difficult, but can be one of the most rewarding times in your life.



It seems you have done some research on the subject. I believe you are correct that there are laws regarding compensation and surrogacy in Canada. However, with the proper legal guidance, your dream of helping another to become a parent can really happen!



There are many websites with tons of information, but the best I have found so far is http://www.surromomsonline.com/... You will find insight, articles, advertisements, and even a message board community.



As I said before, surrogacy is a wonderful option to those wanting to start/expand their family or for someone interested in helping another achieve that goal. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!



Good luck to you!Becoming a surrogate mother - can a Canadian be a mom for an American couple?
I don't think it is illegal while everything is settled with attorneys. And also you could be from anywhere and be a surrogate for an American. Be just carefull who you choose to have your baby. you know smoking, alcoholism, ect.....



Also don't be to close in contact with the child since that could represent bonding and later you can't let go..



There are site were you can find information. I read that the cost is between 15000 to 25000 but if you do the math it is really cheap.



Good luck
You can....you need to reach ut to an agency to help you! you can get compinsated also!

Finding a Surrogate mother instead of adoption?

am a gay 43 year old man. I want children but I prefer them to be of my own flesh and blood. What does it involve to find a surrogate women what does it cost? What are the implications, if any?



By the way I am gay.Finding a Surrogate mother instead of adoption?
I don't know about cost or how to find a willing body you can use to grow your progeny, but I know where you can get some great information about implications. This web site was written by the product of the type of arrangement you're seeking. Might be worth a read.



http://sonofasurrogate.tripod.com/
There are Surrogacy Agencies that can match you with a surrogate mother, however, it is quite expensive, with all the fees for the surrogate, agency, legal fees, medical procedures, cost of delivery, travels cost, etc, it's often close to $100,000. There's also a lot of risk involved. There's no guarentee that the chosen surrogate will get pregnant, and be able to carry the baby to term. Also, unless you use donor eggs instead of the surrogates, she will still legally be the childs mother at birth, and can decide not to relinquish her parental rights. I would suggest doing a lot of research.Finding a Surrogate mother instead of adoption?
On behalf of those on this website with more than two brain cells to rub together, I apologize for the rudeness. it's perfectly reasonable to want a biological chld, no matter if you're gay, straight, or whatever. You should inquire at fertility clinics, and in low income areas, and maybe with churches or in the paper. Even a website may help. I even heard of one adorable story on a talkshow where a man and woman made an agreement for him to donate sperm and for her to have her child first, and than surrogate for him. All he paid for was her medical bills the second time around. That way they could keep in touch about medical issues concerning themselves and the children. All in all, best of luck to you!
We got it, you're gay.



So you want to create a human being who will have lost his mother,(half his/her "flesh and blood") so that you can put them in daycare for 9-10 hours a day? Why? Because you didn't get something you wanted? Wow. That's really selfish.



I think women who sell their kids usually want 20-40K per kid. You asked about "implications". I've got to believe they are similar to a traditional adoptee's problems, further compounded in your case by the loss of a parent and being raised by a single gay male. Here some links to read about the ramifications of growing up adopted:

I don't really have any information on costs of surrogates although I know there are groups that specialize in this. What I do know is that I adopted and could not imagine loving my son more. If you truly want to be a parent you may want to think again about your reasons for wanting a child to be genetically (at least part) yours. Once they are born and you are trying to get them dressed every morning, tucking them into bed and occasionally pulling your hair out over their misbehavior you will likely find that their genetics have no bearing on how much you love or care for them. Bringing a child into your home should be about the child. Maybe you are worried that as a gay man your ability to adopt will be limited. I don't know about all states but I do know that in my state gay couples and individuals are able to and do adopt. I would try to see if you can get some information on what the situation is in your state. There are plenty of kids who need homes, especially in foster care.
this is something i have thought about actually. I am single and almost 30 and am ready to have a baby. I have friends who are stable and a gay couple who cant have children and we have talked about an arrangement to do this and co parent. I would spread the word around with your friends and you may come up with something.
sorry, but asking a woman to rent out her womb, and use her body for YOUR benefit (for a price) is tantamount to prostitution. and it's unfair to the child born from this arrangement. to be bred just to be bought and sold is reminiscent of animal breeding.



if you wish to parent, there's TONS of children in foster care, who would love a daddy...



surrogacy is an ethical nightmare.
Hun there are plenty of surrogates out there who will work with gay men. Most surrogates are paid between $25,000 %26amp; $30,000. Then you also have to pay medical bills and any other expenses. Good luck hun
i think you have to find a person who is willing and pay 10,000
I think everyone should have the right to have children as long as the child is loved and cared for. Adoption is not for everybody and each person has to do what they feel is right for them. I don't think surrogates should be payed thousands of pounds to 'rent' their womb...that's a bit dodgy,although certainly medical expenses should be payed...like IVF and such things... but surrogacy should be something you do to help someone having difficulties conceiving for whatever reasons to have the wonderful experience of being a parent.
I don't know about where to find them. But I do know that I would do it for a gay friend of mine absolutely free of charge just b/c I love him that much and b/c I know he would be a great father.

Is it a mortal sin to be a surrogate?

Is it the Catholic Church's stance that for a woman to carry a child for another couple is a grave sin? Donating eggs and sperm is out of the question of course, but what about surrogate mothers?Is it a mortal sin to be a surrogate?
There are two type of surrogacy:

+ Traditional: The surrogate mother is artificially inseminated with the sperm of the intended father or sperm from a donor when the sperm count is low. In either case the surrogate鈥檚 own egg will be used. Genetically the surrogate becomes the mother of the resulting child.

+ Gestational: The surrogate mother has no genetic ties to the offspring. Eggs and sperm are extracted from the donors and in vitro fertilized and implanted into uterus of the surrogate.



+ Artificial Insemination +



The Catholic Church does not approve of artificial insemination.



The U.S. bishops address this question in the fourth edition of the USCCB text Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services:



Directive 38: When the marital act of sexual intercourse is not able to attain its procreative purpose, assistance that does not separate the unitive and procreative ends of the act, and does not substitute for the marital act itself, may be used to help married couples conceive.



Directive 41: Homologous artificial fertilization (that is, any technique used to achieve conception using the gametes of the two spouses joined in marriage) is prohibited when it separates procreation from the marital act in its unitive significance (e.g., any technique used to achieve extra-corporeal conception).



For the complete document, see: http://www.usccb.org/bishops/directives.鈥?/a>



+ In Vitro Fertilization +



In most in vitro fertilizations, more than one egg is fertilized. Several embryos are then placed into the mother's womb. The remaining embryos are either destroyed or frozen. Destroying human embryos is abortion and freezing them with an unknown future hope of ever being born is not respecting the dignity of human life.



Later if and when the embryos begin to grow in the mother, all but one or two are usually aborted, again killing sacred human life.



And I have not even began discussing the harm to human dignity and our belief that God wants life to be the result of an act of love by those committed to loving each other.



For more information, see: http://www.usccb.org/prolife/programs/rl鈥?/a>

With love in Christ.
Your question is phrased as a request for clarification of Catholic theology. For a Catholic, a willful violation of one of the commandments (representing a willful violation of the covenant between god and "man") would constitute a mortal (as opposed to a venial) sin.



In this case the most likely violation would be the prohibition against adultery. In biblical times, this was narrowly interpreted as a married woman having sex with someone other than their husband. So, if the surrogate is a married Catholic then it is a mortal sin.



If you wanted a more modern and definitive answer, there may be material in the Vatican's treatise on bioethics that could offer further clarification.



Oh, and please, if this is important to you, don't take my word as any sort of final authority. Since this is on Yahoo, I am assuming that this is a casual religious discussion. I'm a Buddhist that has studied the history of the Christian church and Catholic theology, not a practicing Catholic, and certainly not a member of the Catholic clergy.



Good luck!Is it a mortal sin to be a surrogate?
God decides who has a child. To do anything else is to play God. So yes, I think it is a sin to carry a child that is not yours. I believe it is also a sin to ask or even worse, pay someone to do it for you.

A baby is a gift from God. He gives different gifts to people. He may have kept some barren so they would take in the homeless and the orphans. If they can get a surrogate Mother, then they will not adopt. So many children need familes. Why not let the barren women raise the children of those who have died. Sure everyone wants a child to be their own but to make it happen with science is just wrong. It is playing God as surely as aborting a baby that God has begun in a woman's womb.
I don't see why not- If a woman is willing to carry a child for someone who desperately wants one, then she is a better person than I...



@DreamDress- Two quick points, one, what is wrong with wanting to have a child of your own flesh and blood? And two, do you have any idea how difficuilt it is to adopt a child, it takes money, time, years of waiting and dissappointment..?
Another case of a 2000 year old book forbidding good things due to the fact that modern science simply didn't exist when man wrote the bible.



Sperm and egg donation is a kind thing that can help a lot of nice people who may have infertile partners or want to have a child on their own.

Being a surrogate is even kinder, it is a big burden that one undertakes to help people.



How awful to condemn someone for an act of kindness.
Yes, the church believes surrogates are selfish, money-grubbing women who victimize children.



But then they also believe in hundred-year-old women getting pregnant, and talking animals and stuff like that.
I wouldn't think it is.



And DreamDress, what if the surrogate was god's way of giving a couple the gift of a child? who are you to deny them a gift from god?
I think as long as the mother doesn't actually sleep with the father, then it's okay.
i don't see whats wrong with it.
It is a sin.

Can you help me find my surrogate mother?

I recently found out my mom isn't my biological mother. She could not have a child, so a surrogate mother had me. I am related to my dad but not my mom. I want to know my biological mother's name, ethnicity, etc. Please help!Can you help me find my surrogate mother?
Your parents love you to pieces....and they paid a shltload of $ to have you. If your parents don't wish you to know, you need to respect their wishes.

It is HURTFUL to them for you to care about this.
Just out of curiosity, did they use your mothers eggs and your fathers sperm or the surrogates eggs? was it because of your mothers infertility or was she physically unable to carry a child. if they used your mothers eggs and she raised you, then theonly thing the surrogate did was carry you. that doesn't make her your mother.Can you help me find my surrogate mother?
how are we supposed to know ur moms name... u sound like you are 12 tell us some info first like names dates pictures places and then i can give you adresses nubmers license plates... okay?
I don't know all the details from the short paragraph you wrote, but won't your mom %26amp; dad help you find her or set you in the right direction. (perhaps the agency they went thru).

good luck, i hope you find her

What is the cost and likelyhood of twins when using a surrogate mother?

My wife cannot get pregnant.What is the cost and likelyhood of twins when using a surrogate mother?
Conception of twins is considerably higher when using a surrogate mother. If you really want children, there is no price that cannot match your want. However, if you must know the cost, I've posted a site for you. Oh, and most surrogate mothers expect you to pay for the medical bills while she is pregnant with your baby.What is the cost and likelyhood of twins when using a surrogate mother?
Your chances are slightly higher to get twins through IVF even if they use only one blast/embryo. They believe it is because the handling of the egg encourages it to split.

Would you ever consider being a surrogate mother?

After having children of your own and experiencing the happiness and joys of what being a parent brings, would you ever consider giving this to someone else? Why or why not?Would you ever consider being a surrogate mother?
My oldest daughter, is unable to give birth due to medical complications at birth. Her and her husband have been married for 3 years and they both have talked to me about ME being their child's, my grandchild's surrogate mother. I love children and cannot wait to do this on November 14th when I am implanted with their potential child.
I have already looked into it. My reason is why should I let myself experience the joys of pregnancy and parenting when other people cannot. I feel selfish that God has allowed me to have children so easily. Pregnancy has been more emotional than tough on my body and I know I could do it for someone else. I am definitely considering it in the future once I have this baby and maybe one more.Would you ever consider being a surrogate mother?
After having one baby, I know that the only person in the world I could do this for is my sister. She has a condition which could lead to infertility in her future, so who knows it may even happen. It would be an enormously emotionally upheaving event, and I'm sure I'd cry my heart out over it regularly. But my love for my sister would make me see it through. There is nobody else in the world I'd do it for. I don't know how these women you hear of doing it through agencies etc manage to go through those 9 months of bonding and then have to say goodbye, but they must be extremely strong people.
I don't know If I could handle it. I know this may offend people but, I think its unnatural and I'd never do it. Same with all these fertilization processes people are doing to get pregnant and end up with like 6 kids at a time! Well, thats a little dramatic but you know. I mean I don't have a problem with people doing that stuff I just personally never would. Plus being pregnant is a time where you emotionally connect with the baby in a way NO ONE else can. I do admire the women who do though, you have to be very strong.
For someone I was very close to I probably would. I didn't love being pregnant, but I had a very easy non-complicated pregnancy and delivery. I've been through infertility, so I understand what a gift that would be to give someone. My mom said she would be my surrogate if we couldn't make our treatments work, and I think she was serious. My dad looked at her like she was totally nuts.
No. I couldn't carry a baby in my body for 40 weeks with all that entails and go through labor only to have nothing in the end. I would be heartbroken. Not to mention, babies know their mothers from the time they are in the womb. They know her voice and know her smell. I really feel that you would do a grave disservice to the child by confusing them in that way because the person they get is not who they are already used to. It just all around feels wrong to me. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!
I offered to for my sister, because she was having such a hard time getting pregnant. Fertility treatments and all that, but after she quit, God stepped in and gave her the most beautiful son, the natural way.

But she would be the only person in the world I could do it for!
I did consider this at one time. My sister-in-law was unable to have children and I considered carrying one for her but I decided not to. I'm glad I made that decision. Her husband turned out to be a...sorry...can't think of the word at the moment and probably couldn't spell it if I could...one who preys on children. She later divorced him because of this.
I don't know if I could do this. I would want to do it for maybe my sisters, or my best friend if she couldn't have children. But for a complete stranger, absolutely not. My pregnancy wasn't complicated... I liked being pregnant until the end... when my back started hurting, and then you're ready for the baby to come. But I think I'd be very attached... so it may be hard.
yes!!! i was thinking about it for my sister in law after 3 miscarriages- right after i had mine she found out she was pregnant again and now she is having her baby in jan! but if she ever wanted me to i would- just as long as it was her egg- i dont know if i could do it if it was mine!
No I would not. I feel for the couples who cannot have their own, but I know I would not be able to let the baby go. I'm not against the idea, I think women who surrogate are incredible. I just know I couldn't do it.
I have thought about it.. I would consider it if I were single..

I dont think I could have my husband go through the joys and not so joyous times of pregnancy with me and then not raise the child.



I think it would be harder on him than me honestly.


Yes actually it is funny you asked this because I have wanted to be able to give others that gift forever now, but we are still in the process of expanding our family, but I am seriously concidering it in the future!!! God Bless!
Oh hell no.

Im sorry. My pregnancy was insanely complicated, and I hated being pregnant.

It wasnt a "beautiful time" as some women think it is.



But I think its very kind of any woman that would do it, %26amp;%26amp; would NEVER negatively judge them for it.
No-I couldn't imagine carrying a child and then giving them away. I'm not sure if it would be different knowing its not mine dna wise but I'm not willing to take that chance because I know how in love with my daughter I am just carrying her.
No because I think that being pregnant for nine months would make me become to emotionally and physically attached to the baby. I just wouldn't have the strength I guess I am not strong in that department.
I would but only for my sister...I can not imagine going through all of that for someone that I dont even know...but I would want my sister to experience the happiness that my girls have brought to us...
Yep.... for a close friend or family member so I knew I could see the child.



I *love* being pregnant and I would be absolutely delighted to be able to give such an amzing gift to someone who would be otherwise unable to have children.
I hated being pregnant, I don't think I'll ever do it again for myself let alone for someone else...

Before I was pregnant I am pretty sure I would've considered doing it for someone I was very close to.
I don't think i could, just because I am just the kind of person that I get attached very easily. That would be something that would be very difficult for me.
Yes I'd love to but surrogacy is illegal in most states here in Australia, unfortunately :-(
No. I don't think i could carry a chld for 9 months and give it away!
I would not. Pregnancy was too hard on my body.

Do you believe in surrogacy and would you ever be a surrogate mother?

I do, and if it was someone who i know and loved and couldn't carry a baby, i would do it in a heartbeat.Do you believe in surrogacy and would you ever be a surrogate mother?
I would love to be a surrogate. I think it's a wonderful thing.
I would absolutely do it as long as it would be a close friend or family member other than that I wouldn't be able to do it.Do you believe in surrogacy and would you ever be a surrogate mother?
I think if you can and want to do it, its great. Some people can't have babies on their own, and surrogacy is a way to give them their dreams back. I'd do it if I could.
i would do it for any of my children.
Yes definately if to help out a close friend or family member, no doubt.
Absolutely. I loved every minute of being pregnant and would do it again in a heartbeat. Of course without the responsibilities that come in nine months.
Yes i would but only for my sister. She has had a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer and cannot have anymore children. Ive had 2 children with minimal problems and told her if she and her new husband decided to have another child then i would be a surrogate for them.
I think it is a good thing would I ever do it. Nope I hate being pregnant and all that, its bad enough going through it when I want a baby much less going through it and then haveing nothing to do with the baby
I would do it for a close friend or family member, absolutely!
YES! There are a lot of women out there who can't have babies of their own. It really wouldn't matter if I knew the couple or not. If I was able to do it sure I would give that mother a chance to expierence being a mother. It is so beautiful. so my asnwer is YES i would be a surrogatte mother and YES I would do it in a heartbeat.
I think it's a great thing, I can't really answer the questiono tho as I am still currently pregnant with the first one..let me see how bad labor is and I'll get back to you..lol.
I agree with it.I would not do it though...i'm too old.
Of course I believe in it, and of course I would do it. I think it's terrible that some women physically are not able to have children and if I was blessed to be able to have them (which I don't know if I have been or not since I have no kids yet) I would definitely do it for someone who was not so fortunate.
i thinkits great and fair play to those who do i personally couldnt as i would find it hard to hand over a baby i just gave birth to the bond would be there after carrying it for 9 mths i dont think i could do it but its great some people can
I think it's a wonderful gift that women can give to one another, and I truly admire women who do become surrogates for another woman. I have to say though that I just could not do it. Having lost a baby at 25 weeks, and had another at 26 weeks that stayed in hospital for months, I just could NOT nurture and grow another baby, only to walk out of the hospital with empty arms again by choice.
I admire people who can do it. I just wouldn't be able to give the child up after carrying it for nine months.
I would only do it for my sister who cannot have children,but anyone else no
i think surrogacy is a great thing i believe it is such a great thing to do for childless couples.i myself couldn carry a baby for 9 months and give i t up.im not bein selfish n that either..i lost two kids im 23 .i lost my son 3 yrs ago aged 6 weeks and miscarried 17 weeks ago..so i hope u can understand why i couldnt do surrogacy myself..bcos after losin my kids i just dont know if god will ever give me the miracle of another baby..
I offered to be a surrogate for my best friend a few years ago. She and her husband had been trying for years to have a baby, she did become pg twice but miscarried both times.



I talked to my husband, talked to her... and I really wanted to do so. However... given the fact that I had severe PPD after the birth of my daughter, not to mention quite complicated pregnancies with my children, I am not an ideal candidate. I talked to my ob/gyn about it... almost begged. She loved that I wanted to do this, but she said that there was no way I'd be able to do it.



I would have done it in a heartbeat, too. :)
yes and yes
If I actually enjoyed being pregnant then I would do it, I feel very crappy when I am pregnant but if it was for someone who was close to me then I would do it for definate.
I have nothing against it at all, I think women who do this, are amazing. But i know i could'nt do it because when i have been pregnant, i have become attached straight away, %26amp; would go to pieces so i'd make a lousy candidate. But to all those surrogate mother's out there i think your great, keep it up %26amp; im glad you are as like minded as them, star on way.
I think surrogacy is a beautiful thing. And yes if somebody that i was close to was unable to carry a child i would offer in a heartbeat to carry their child for them. It must be a wonderful feeling to be able to give somebody the most precious gift in the world, a baby.
i do believe in it and i would do it for a family member or close friend
i would carry some elses baby if they had probs carrying, i wouldnt give my own eggs though as i'd be worried i may think the baby was mine as it had half of my genetic make-up. But if the egg and sperm were not mine and a v close friend or sister asked me to, i would.
Having a baby was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. If a close friend or family member could not have a baby, I would love to offer them the most beautiful gift ever. I think it would probably be extremely difficult, to say the least, to part with the baby, that's why I would do it only for family or really close friends. Needless to say the baby would be my favourite niece or nephew, and I would have to see her\him as often as possible.

But yes I would do it. How often in our lives do we get a chance to make someone so happy? To offer such a priceless gift?
Absolutely - as a matter of fact, I'm signed up with a reproductive lawyer to be a gestational surrogate. As a gestational surrogate, I would have no biological tie to the baby, which would be easier for me. Unless it was someone I knew well and loved, I'm not sure that I could give someone else a baby that was biologically mine. I love being pregnant and even labor and delivery, so I feel that I should help others that for some reason can't carry on their own. There's nothing like having your child in your arms for the first time, and if I can help give that to another person, I do it gladly!
I have two friends who have tried for years to fall pregnant. They were the only ones I was affraid to tell when i found out i was pregnant. I would love to have a couple of kids for my husband and I then have a couple for them, at the moment i am enjoying being pregnant and more than that i know both would be wonderfull parents and they are missing out. Life is not always fair.....
i think its a great some people can av babies and give them away at the end of nine months of carrying them. I don't think i could ever do it myself as i av 3 children UN the thought of giving 1 of them away when they were born its unthink able
No. With all the children in the world who need homes, I think it's immoral to go to such lengths to create more babies.

How does one become a professional surrogate mother for animals?

especially for wolves or big cats or monkeys? i would like to do this when i get older after seeing dozens of episodes of Growing Up on Animal Planet. it seems like such an awesome career!How does one become a professional surrogate mother for animals?
I would research it through the net. Go to the websites of the tv shows, find the centers or individuals that they featured, and contact them directly. I'm sure they will have information for you!



Good luck!
Sign up at a fertility clinic.How does one become a professional surrogate mother for animals?
You don't. It is better for animals to be raised by their own kind for various reasons. If they must be removed, a surrogate of the same species is usually trained (beforehand). If need be, a trainer or keeper will take care of the animal. This is extreemly rare and I can assure you, it doesn't happen enough times in a legitimate zoo environment to even keep one person gainfully employed.

Did you know that being a surrogate mother pays the baseline of 5 dollars an hour?

That's just basic. That's not including the rest of the money that you'd get for things that come up such as maternity clothes, induction, cesarean and such. Yes you're making money while you're sleeping.



What do you think?Did you know that being a surrogate mother pays the baseline of 5 dollars an hour?
I'd say that sucks...my husbands job he gets 25 an hour plus they give him wardrobe and insurance.

My understanding is that you have to have at least one term pregnancy before you can be a surrogate. There are also other rules about age requirements (not a problem for you, though), health requirements, be within a certain body mass index, etc.



I think what you want to do is wonderful though. And perhaps some of those rules wouldn麓t apply if you found the couple yourself (maybe looking at ads online asking for a surrogate or placing your own ads offering a surrogacy).



In either case, I agree with the previous post that talking to an OBGYN is a good place to start.



Best of luck
You should talk to your OB about it. A friend of mine wanted to do that before she had kids and was told she that you have to have had your own offspring in order to do thatHow would I be able to become a surrogate mother? Process?
An OB is not the person to talk to. You would talk to a surrogacy agency. You can Google surrogacy agencies in your area.



Most of them want you to have had a child already. Reason being is that pregnancy is a physical and emotional journey and never having been through it before, you don't know how you'll feel about it. You're a risk for getting too attached (again, having never been through it, you can't say for sure how you'll feel when it's actually happening). Potential matches also tend to pick surrogates with proven track records of successful pregnancies.



Be aware that surrogates also go through a battery of physical and emotional testing before being accepted.



However, if you feel strong that this is your calling, the place to start is with a surrogacy agency.



Good luck.
Well, from what you written above. I'm sure you are consider to be a surrogate mother..



If you want and sure, there is something you should do first . For example, do some general check up to make sure you are healthy , then check your womb to make sure u are fertile and still have a good egg. If you want to be surrogate through agencies, you can check the hospital (choose the bigger or biggest in your country).

If you want to be a surrogate mother alone , it is quiet difficult until you can find any couple who want you become their surrogate.

This is my advice, since I'm doing my research about surrogate. If you doing alone (without agency) you should have legal agreement to protect each other.

Hope it help and i know some sites that might answers your problem.

Will my cockatiel be able to be a surrogate mother?

I found a robins egg, and for the heck of it I decided since I have several cockatiels and parakeets, maybe one of them could sit on the egg until it hatches. I figure its better than letting it die. Well, anyway, it hatched and all of the birds in my cage(very big cage), want to play parent. They are feeding the baby, but now what? Will it get the nutrition it needs? Do I keep a wild bird? How will it know how to fly if I set it free when the time comes? Any help here would be great.Will my cockatiel be able to be a surrogate mother?
I'm actually surprised that your birds are feeding it. But since you've got that covered, the only concern would be the difference in the natural diets of the species. Robins are not seed eaters, like your cockatiels. The chick will more than likely require a higher protein diet than the cockatiels can provide. You might try handfeeding small dead mealworms directly to the chick, or feed your cockatiels treats with higher protein content, so that they can pass it along to the robin. You also might try a handfeeding formula, and supplement it with protein booster.



It sounds like an odd arrangement, but it seems like it's working so far.Will my cockatiel be able to be a surrogate mother?
lol funny story.

I am confused. If it is your husband who has medical issues, why do you need surrogate MOTHER? Medication for crohn's disease can reduce sperm quality and motility however some form of assisted reproduction technique (IVF-ICSI) could still help YOU become pregnant using your husband's sperm. If that is not possible due to unavailability of sperm, or you wish to avoid the risk of passing Crohn's on to your offspring (there is a genetic component in Crohn's) then you may opt for donor sperm.

If you are a heterosexual couple (I'm assuming you're female here...) healthy and able to bear a child there is no reason why you should need a surrogate because of your husband's Crohn's. What you might need is a sperm donor.

Your family doctor (or even his own specialist) might be able to point you in the right direction as to a fertility centre. Costs will vary depending on the kind of treatment you require.

Good luck!

Is it immoral for a Christian woman to become a surrogate mother for a non-Christian couple?

Are there any Biblical prohibitions or church instructions regarding this? Any denomination--I'm not a Christian and am asking this to better understand how my Christian neighbors think.Is it immoral for a Christian woman to become a surrogate mother for a non-Christian couple?
no I think that would be an amazing embodiment of Christ's love for the world - to give up 9 months of your life and endure agonizing pain so that another family who couldn't have a child could have one would be a wonderful,blessed thing to do.
I do not find anything wrong in surrogacy. i think its a great thing, God goal was for us humans to reproduce and fill this earth with joy and happines and lots of children, now many people can not have children nd not by choice but for medical reasons, look at www.greendoc.net/view/35426 nd u wil c

Is it immoral for a Christian woman to become a surrogate mother for a non-Christian couple?
Years ago, I once read an article regarding the whole "surrogacy" issue as a no-no all together. It was from a Christian magazine or something of that nature.

BUT, I myself, aside from that article have never heard a strong debate or something in the Bible regarding doing this or not doing this.



If I'm mistaken, anyone please feel free to enlighten me, but if this was something that a non Christian couple came to me and asked me to do, I would pray on it and see if this is something I would need to do for them.
Before test tubes and OBGYNs, you have Abraham-Sarah-Hagar (if you are not familiar with this story it is found in Gen 16 and then continues in chapter 21).



That story sure didn't end very well.



I think your question would be better asked this way....



Is it WISE for an Christian woman to become a surrogate mother for a non-Christian couple?



And I can't answer that. I can only say there is Bible evidence that surrogate mothering complicates things tremendously.



iamnotbut...I know I AM.
As long as it is done in-vitro and no adultery applies, I can't see anything wrong with it. As a matter of fact, I would view it as an expression of Christian love and compassion.



Some denominations may have prohibitions on this, but I believe that they are in the wrong.
I disagree with the whole idea of in vitro fertilization. I do not believe that God intended for a human being to be conceived in a petri dish and/or a test tube, then implanting the embryo from that petri dish into a strange woman who gets paid to allow her uterus (actually her entire body) to gestate a baby that is not her own for the next 9 months. This is merely another form of prostitution.



I think that we have become blinded as to how wrong in vitro fertilization and surrogacy actually is by allowing society, yet again, to convince us that this breakthrough in medical technology has helped "so many childless couples."



As a Christian, we believe that God has a purpose for all of us. That purpose is to glorify Him with our lives. God also has given us free will do decide how we will use our lives for His purpose. However, I think that we loose sight of who we really are as children of God and why we are here on earth, which is to serve God with our lives. Instead we loose sight of God's purpose for us and we begin to look to the things in life that we want, making decisions that we feel are best for us, thus,

serving our own purposes and not God's. There's that "free will" thing in a nutshell.



Christianity is not about being unhappy, no fun allowed, no laughter, or continuing to sacrifice the things we want or desire out of life, as long as those things glorify God once those desires are met. Not all of us were created to become Mother Theresa. Only Mother Theresa was created to be Mother Theresa. We are all one-of-a-kind and God asks us to come to Him, through His Son, Jesus Christ when we need or want something in our lives.



So back to the surrogate mother...And this where Christian faith plays a very large roll in trusting God: If a Christian couple is unable to conceive a baby, then God wants them to turn to Him in prayer and ask Him for that baby. Perhaps, God has something else in mind for this couple other than having "their own" baby. God may have a little boy, who needs to be adopted, already picked out just for this couple. God is waiting for the right time to present this little boy to the childless couple. But, the couple got tired of waiting for an answer from God, and took the matter into their own hands deciding to conceive their own baby in vitro. When God decides the time is right to present the couple with the little boy that God has chosen for them to raise as their own son, the couple now says "no" to God because we have decided not to wait for You and we have our own child now.



I could go on, I'll stop now since I think I've made a somewhat clear point of view from a Christian perspective...
I don't think it would be something a Christian should do.

Becoming A Surrogate Mother - Guide About The Pros And Cons Of Surrogacy?

Looking for a current-day book on how to become a surrogate mother that's both informative and practical. Websites would be appreciated.Becoming A Surrogate Mother - Guide About The Pros And Cons Of Surrogacy?
'How To Become A Gestational Surrogate Mother' by Rayven Perkins is the most practical and revealing guide in my opinion. It covers everything about surrogacy -- the risks, compensation, how to proceed, and the range of psychological factors involved from decision to delivery.



A surrogate mother is a woman who bears a child for a couple when the wife is unable to do so. My own sister from Oregon chose the surrogate route for her first child (a baby girl) before adopting an 18-month-old boy from Michigan to complete her family.



The usual option for surrogacy (also the safest) is to have a relative bear the child for the closest gene match. A non-relative female partner can also bear the eggs based on your doctor's recommendation. This partner can be from within your own county, state, country or even abroad from say India or Japan.



The choices are quite limitless when you consider the options. It's really based on two criteria -- (1) whether you want to be the surrogate mother for someone else, or (2) whether you wish to find a surrogate for conceiving your own child.



Hope this helps. Good luck!
i dont know any resources on it, except for using goggle or yahoo to search it... but I do want to say that its a greta thing that can benefit so many people! good luck! thanks for being there for women when things are taken away.Becoming A Surrogate Mother - Guide About The Pros And Cons Of Surrogacy?

God, people are so RUDE! I don't think there is anything wrong with asking this question. Its not like you are going to give your sperm to the first person who answers, without investigating her. You don't have to go through a surrogacy agency. You can ask around any place you want to until you find the right person, and then you just need an attorney to finalize things for you. Do not be discouraged by the insensitivity of the people on here. Good luck and I hope you find who you are looking for.
You should go through a legitimate surrogate organization. Try this one: http://www.creatingfamilies.com/SM/SM_In鈥?/a> .



Most organizations want surrogates to have already had at least one child of their own. I am keeping the option of surrogacy open after I have my first child (if everything turns out well) but I have many, many gay friends who have already asked me if I would consider it.



Peace

JennAnyone interested in being a surrogate mother for a loving gay couple?
I'd agree any one you find online you shouldn't trust to be a surrogate mother for your future child. You don't know their history - their health or even if they'll not turn around on you in the last minute diminishing all hopes of becoming a father. Your best options would be to find some one close or that you can get to know ahead of time. But asking here - not the best way to find a surrogate mother, sorry.
This is not the appropriate place to be looking for the mother of your future children. There are agencies to work with. There are also LOTS of legalities to being/using a surrogate mother, so its smartest to get a lawyer. Doing it any other way is asking to be screwed over.
Hello,



I am a surrogate mother and I actually work with an agency already but I can give you more information about it. I may even be able to help you out. I would love to actually. Well email me and we can go from there.
i have to agree with the others ..i would stick to someone you either know or you can try a website and contact someone, i wouldn't trust someone from the internet

I really don't want to sound mean, but Yahoo Answers is probably not the best place to search for a surrogate.
Russell is right if u get some lady off here chances are she is a junkie and ur sperm is better left where it is now :(
I wouldn't give a baby to someone who asks such a question on Yahoo Answers, it's just not right.

Would you let your wife become a surrogate mother?

If your wife considered helping a friend or her sister in a surrogate pregnancy would you, as the husband, be comfortable with your wife becoming pregnant?Would you let your wife become a surrogate mother?
My answer only works for me, keep that in mind. It's HER body, and any decision I make that contradicts that diminishes my wife. Being a surrogate mother is a big decision for someone, and if the conversation even came up, it would be the deciding factor for me - if it's something she wants to do, I can only support her.



I have a concern though - if you are the husband asking for advice, the internet will give you a full spectum of conflicting answers. If you are the wife, you already have your thoughts, and are concerned with hubby's - that's something you need to work out with HIM, otherwise it diminishes his opinion with a flood of "well, XBOX375 at Yahoo said that you're wrong."



The decision has to be a win-win for everyone - including the husband, but not just him - other children, the wife, the other family involved, some times even the clergy?



Talk to people closer to you, is my advice. If you are the wife, the husband needs to be crystal clear with your thoughts and his, if you are the husband, bear in mind that if this is even a discussion, the wife has given this VERY serious thought already. Tread carefully either way, and I wish you and all involved the best.
No imagine how hard it is to give up that baby even though it is not your you spend all those months bonding and feeling the baby move.Would you let your wife become a surrogate mother?
Man sometimes places or people will pay you like 15,000 dollars for just being a surrogate mother. I don't know if it be worth it but hey. Now if it's just to help out a friend or sister I think that would be kinda weird. but i don't know.
my husband would probably answer NO. i think he's only willing to put up with the pregnancy hormones for his OWN kids.... maybe it would be OK for a close family member. but it would be tough for both of us.
Why should he be able to say his wife can't do something she wants to do? He needs to respect her as an individual, and not just think of her as his property, and let her do what she wants with her life.
As a woman, I can't imagine doing that. I love the idea, but the bond you develop w/ your unborn is unexplainable....you have to experience it.

And you, as the husband, would still feel a bond as well. I'd only think it was a good idea if you both have kids together, and you're "done" and happy with your family.

It's a wonderful gift to give someone else, as long as you understand the severity of the sacrifice.

Ocean's Mommy: I do see your point, but the wife would also need to take into consideration that a pregnancy certainly affect's both of them.
Personally, I would LOVE to be able to help a family have a child. I would do it in a heartbeat! It would be hard to let go after I've carried the child for nine months, but it would be worth it.
My husband has told me if that makes me happy I could. I had suggested it to him to participate in the community for women who cannot have their own child. Of course it would be hard emotionally, but I think it is the most beautiful thing to give life to someone who cannot have that blessing but they are full of feeling and love to receive a child of their own. Besides, I loved pregnancy and really would enjoy it again, but we cannot afford having another, so I see it the best way to enjoy another pregnancy and be very selfless giving the chance for others to form their family.

Now I really don't know how he would react if I were seriously thinking about it. Good question!
I would not be comfortable with it. If she really wanted to do it she would.
If any of my sisters asked me to , I really believe that I could have that child and give it to her to raise, we all live in the same town and it might take a bit to get over but I would do anything for family and i hope they would for me, I think my husband would be a little disturbed though having another mans child.
the couple would really need to think about it , put your self in there situation and you need it a surrogate mother. i wouldnt be able to do it ,give it up after carring a child for 9 months
NO i personally won't do it
I'd club that uppity woman into the ground with my manly man-fists.



If I was a man.



Who did manly, macho things.

I would love to help another family if I can but some of the information I'm finding is so confusingWhat to know what everyone thinks about becoming a surrogate mother, OR if you have any advice for me.?
Medical Eligibility to Become a Surrogate

Potential surrogates are screened to assure they are medically, physically, sociologically and psychologically fit for surrogacy. A successful surrogate candidate will be over the age of 18, and will have delivered at least one infant, at term (9 months), and without major complication. Surrogates must be non-smokers, and must live in smoke free households. The surrogate must have no history of serious or ongong medical conditions. The ability to attend medical office appointments during the treatment cycle and pregnancy must be assured. Surrogates must be financially secure. Surrogacy should not be looked at as a primary source of income or support. Partners of surrogates must be similarly suited for the proposed procedure.



Medications and Procedures

A variety of medications and procedures are utilized to assure ongoing high gestational surrogate pregnancy success rates. In gestational surrogacy, menstrual cycles or hormonal status of the mother and the surrogate are ascertained and the cycles of the two women are "synchronized" employing short acting drugs that allow for temporary control of the cycle to be managed by the physician. In most instances, this synchronization will be obtained within one to three weeks of a cycle start. Once control over the cycles has been obtained, the uterus of the surrogate will be programmed to follow the progress of the mother's egg production so that the resulitng embryos can be successfully transfered to the womb of the properly timed and receptive surrogate.







Arrangements will be made for you to undergo a physical and psychological evaluation to assure that becoming pregnant on behalf of a couple poses no physical or emotional threat to you or the pregnancy. Your spouse or partner, if applicable, may be asked to provide a blood sample that will be tested along with your own to assure that results on both are acceptable for program participation.



Following your initial acceptance into the program, the nurse coordinators will suggest to you couples that are in need of a surrogate whose situations seem compatible with your own desires. The nurses will speak to you about the medical and social situations of the couples in general to assist you in understanding why your assistance is needed. In most instances, potential surrogates become rapidly willing to meet with a couple after learning more about their situations. Where geographical concerns arise, couples and surrogates that may live in the same part of the country are often found to make excellent matches. You will be given a prescription for prenatal vitamins at this time, and will be asked to begin taking the vitamins daily.



A meeting will be arranged between you and the potential couple. Just as you will have been informed about the couple, they will have been provided some general information about you. The initial meeting is an informal "meet and get to know you" encounter.



Once an agreement in principal has beeen reached between the couple and the surrogate, the legal requirements related to the surrogacy arrangement will be drafted into a surrogacy contract by an attorney representing the couple. You will be contacted by the attorney as the contract is drafted so that your specific needs related to the arrangement can be taken into account. When the preliminary draft is ready for you to review, you will be given a copy of the contract. You will be asked to select an attorney of your choosing so that this attorney may assist you in reading and understanding the contract. Your attorney will be able to answer any questions you may have, and clarify any points about which you may remain unclear. You will be provided a fixed dollar amount to cover the costs of this attorney. Once all parties are happy with the deatils of the arrangement, signatures will be obtained and the medical portion of the cycle may begin.What to know what everyone thinks about becoming a surrogate mother, OR if you have any advice for me.?
Everything the above poster said, but you also have to consider your children and their ages and understanding. My sister's DIL was a surrogate for someone (stranger and donor embryo) and the younger children (3 and 5) were devastated when she came home without a baby. It is 2.5 years later and she reports that this turned out to be the worst thing she ever did. It wasn't worth the altruistic gesture or the money given the effect it had on these 2 children. She thought they understood that it wasn't her baby.

Thanks in advance...Are there any websites that I can find couples who are looking for an independent surrogate mother?
Your best bet is to talk to a fertility clinic. Most people looking for a surrogate will go that route.



Not many people want to pick some stranger from the internet to provide the necessities of life at the most crucial time in their child's development.

If you agree to become a surrogate mother, should you have the right to change your mind?

A co-worker found another co-worker to be a surrogate mother for her. They paid all of her expenses and even allowed her to move into their home so she wouldnt have to pay rent on her apartment.



Things were going along well, but now that the surrogate is in her seventh month of pregnancy, she is beginning to verbally express doubts about whether or not she can give up the baby.



Please tell me this "woman" has to give up the baby per their legal agreement...



Keep in mind, the husband's sperm was used...If you agree to become a surrogate mother, should you have the right to change your mind?
Generally, if she changes her mind, she has breached the contract and might be ordered to repay all of the money she was paid back to the couple.



And the husband has rights as a father to visitation and possibly joint custody. He might even sue for full physical custody.



Everyone's rights depend on the laws of their state. If there is more than one state involved, it's an even bigger mess.
I believe that when you agree to a contract you should be held to the terms of that contract. The surrogate mother decide she could keep the kid and force the father to pay child support. Plus the courts won't make her repay any money she accepted.If you agree to become a surrogate mother, should you have the right to change your mind?
No I dont, it isnt that I dont feel bad for her but she entered into a contract knowing what she was doing. Honestly if I was in a situation to need a surrogate, I would NOT use someone I knew and would continue to see regularly. It has to be hard to have a baby in you for 9 mths and not begin to feel for it especially if it is your egg... \\

Honestly as mean as this may seem, I really dont think we should be allowing the whole process at all- it isnt natural. I know people who cannot have kids and it has to be hard but sometimes life sucks = (
no
No, legally she can keep the baby, though she may have to share custody with the biological father.
Hmm, as unfair as it might seems it seems like dangerous ethical ground to take a baby away from his or her mother. Rightly or wrong, our society gives mothers the right to terminate their pregnancies is they so choose. Therefore I think in our society a women's right to her own womb is absolute. I mean people do break legal agreements. Just look at all the foreclosures these days. If a person can't be made to pay their debts, then how can you turn around and say surrogate agreements are absolutely inviolable? I think the police would be very unenthusiastic about kicking in doors to drag babies from their mother's breasts!
Being a surrogate means that the couple "created" the child by having the wife's egg fertilized with the husband's sperm. The fertilized egg is placed in the surrogate to carry the child. She has no legal right to fight for the child. Being pregnant stirs up alot of emotions and she probably is just talking through hormones.

For surrogacy people either use a surrogacy lawyer, a surrogacy agency, surrogacy classified, or a willing friends/family. I would recommend using classified ads or a willing friend. Agencies and Lawyers can get very expensive. If you do choose to go lawyer and agency free, please do lots of research. Lots of scams and liars are out there. Be careful and research everything that is involved in surrogacy. Below are a few classified site that I know about. You can also find some great free forums ro help you with any questions you have.

why not just adopt?

no pregancy hurt

just verything OK]How should we go about finding a suitable surrogate mother ?
it depends on where you live!

but i don't think you will get a serious answer on here,sorry.

you may need to google for any local agencies,depending which country/city etc you live in. you may have to try approach someone you know and trust,who has already had children,or advertise locally(if it is legal!)

you really need to look into it more deeply,such as talking to a lawyer or someone.after all,the surrogate mother would be the biological mother in this?(she may get attached and try to keep the baby!). i would tread very carefully.
You can google the web and there are several services that have websites. Also you can go through an adoption agency, they usually have contact. My friend had a surrogate a year ago. 70,000 dollars later they had a baby.

Surrogate Mothers! I have questions.?

Im curious...

have you done this?

what was your relation to the family you did this for?

was it hard for you to not take the baby home after delivery?

whose name went on the birth certificate? the woman that gave birth or the mother that the egg came from?Surrogate Mothers! I have questions.?
If you are thinking about doing this, the only thing I know is that your name would not be on the certificate. The parents' names would be. It's their egg and sperm that made the baby, the surrogate just carries the baby to term b/c the mom can't. Something tells me you are not ready to think about doing something like this.

I found my surrogate there.... I was recommended to go there by my IVF medical office to search for a surrogate. It was the best thing that I ever did.

With all my respect...best of luck to you....

Where do i start? How can I have my sister to become a surrogate mother for my husband and I?

I have had five miscarriages and two of them ended in a stillbirth. I am so afraid to try again to go through all of the pain of losing another baby. My sister, husband and I have sat down and talked about it, do anybody out there know how we can get started or even prices that would have to come out of our pocket? Please helpWhere do i start? How can I have my sister to become a surrogate mother for my husband and I?
You will need to do an IVF. The procedure has a huge range, dependong on how many tries and what is covered by insurance (or not). The procedure can cost something anywhere from $6,000 to $15,000 per IVF (depending on where you live). Try to find fertility clinics around you, or ask your doctor about it.



Good luck.Where do i start? How can I have my sister to become a surrogate mother for my husband and I?
Even though it is your sister, you will probably want to see a lawyer who deals in surrogacy, and draw up some sort of contract.



I'm very sorry about your miscarriages. Good luck with this!

How does a surrogate mother get pregnant?

I need to know for English and if you also know how they used to get pregnant and how they do now it would help!



Thanks xHow does a surrogate mother get pregnant?
In a short story: They remove an egg from the (real) mother, and sperm from the dad, and labs fertilize it in a petrie dish...once it's fertilized, it is placed into the 'surrogate' (or host) woman that will carry the embryo to term...

Hope this helps.
Actually, they rarely use the surrogate mother's eggs. Doing so causes legal complications since the birth mother is also the biological mother. If the mother hiring the surrogate has no viable eggs, they would usually use donor eggs, so the baby isn't biologically related to either surrogate or mother.How does a surrogate mother get pregnant?
You have another couple's embryo implanted into your womb, so the woman is carrying a child from different parents. If the woman of the couple has no fertile eggs the surrogate mother's eggs are used.

How do you become a surrogate mother for animals?

and what kind of licenses do you have to have for it?How do you become a surrogate mother for animals?
If you want to foster animals who need help, start off easy. Join your local Humane Society or SPCA and ask for training in fostering kittens, puppies and sick dogs or cats. Some of the more progressive shelters will have volunteers to take care of animals in need who are not ready for adoption. See if you like that.



Then, if you want to get more adventurous, call around to find wildife rescue organizations. You can volunteer there and learn about wild animal handling.



Educating yourself with experience is crucial. Meeting other experienced people to guide you also is crucial.
actually hyunskee you're wrong, you can't give birth to animals that is true but thats not what a surrogate mother is, a surrogate mother is a person or animal who takes in new born animals that are not their own and so not have to be the same species and you care for them like their mother would...

I have always been interested in surrogacy and now I feel like I am in the perfect position to start that journey. My question is: How do I go about doing this?

Can an austistic female be surrogate mother?

I know a friend who is unable to have a child on her own, she has an autistic sister who she would trust having her child. Both husband, wife, and sister would do the DNA testing not to pass the autism gene back.





The sister with autism loves babies.Can an austistic female be surrogate mother?
the baby could have autism because her auntie has it, but when it's surrogate aint they using her egg to place in her sisters body.
If the autistic sister has not given birth to her own children before, then she is not able to become a surrogate mother.



If she has, and is deemed legally able to enter into a contract, it would probably be permissible for her to be a surrogate mother to a family member, but not a surrogate mother commercially, for strangers.Can an austistic female be surrogate mother?
There is no test for an autism gene, except in rare cases like fragile X, so most likely a DNA test cannot rule out passing on autism.



There is some evidence about gene issues, but no specific gene that can be tested reliably.





But, a person with autism might be able to consent to do this. This would have to be done on an individual basis.



it would be possible to use artificial insemination as opposed to fertilizing the egg outside the womb
Yes, it's possible. Depending on the type of Autism. If she has Asperger's, I wouldn't see the problem with this.



If the female is lower functioning, then there's an issue there.



Is she able to understand the things that she is signing. Can she even sign contracts/papers?



Also, she would be in pain for nine months. It could affect her in a positive or a negative way. Depending on the outcome, this might not be a good thing for this female. It might do her more harm then good.



As for the Autism gene thing, the baby might end up having a chance of getting Autism. Maybe Asperger's Syndrome or Classic Autism. So tell your friend to think about this carefully.



Also they have to think about the child's future. How would the child feel when their eighteen years old and knowing that they ended up with Asperger's Syndrome, and their birth mom is Autistic. I don't think the kid could handle this.



So if I were you, I wouldn't ask this on Yahoo Answers. I would ask a professional about this. Like a Psychiatrist or Psychologist. Ask a Neurologist as well.



Oh yeah to elaine2rn, Autism isn't a form of retardation. Neither is Asperger's Syndrome.
I would need more info to make a good explanation.



I believe they can do anything they put their mind towards.



I have seen autistic people do almost anything. I have a friend that is a police officer for a local jurisdiction.



Some issues to think on ..... level of functional independence.



level of rational thought (not perseverating on just one thing...)



ability to find resources



ability to understand the responsibility



family support system



local community resources



etc.
I imagine physically she has the ability to bear a child??!! However, what are the ethics of this situation; how will this go when this retarded kid has to give up the baby she's been carrying for 9 months to her sister, where she will still have contact?



Can a retarded person consent???



P.S Autism not inherited by genes.....
This is not really an answer to the question but more or less just to clear up the "genetic" misunderstanding here.



The genetic condition fragile X syndrome may result in autism, fragile X is the leading KNOWN genetic cause of autism.
Not if she can not legally sign contracts for herself. This is news about the Autism gene. It was my understanding scientists have no clue as to what causes autism.

Would you consider being a surrogate mother for a gay couple?

If not, would you do it for a straight couple?Would you consider being a surrogate mother for a gay couple?
If I knew a gay couple who genuinely wanted a child and asked me to be surrogate I would absolutely do it! Same for a heterosexual couple.
No there is a reason they can't have babies becuz it is not right....and yes to the straight if it was for a reason the women could not carry.Would you consider being a surrogate mother for a gay couple?
I dont think I could ever be a surrogate for anyone.. Id be too attached to give up my baby.
I would most definitely consider it. BUT, I don't think I could give a baby away after carrying it for 9 months.
if i wanted to have kids then yes i would. there is nothin wrong with gays having a child. but i don't want to be pregnant cuz of what it does to your body but if i were going to have kids yea i would give them a kid no questions.
I don't think I could ever carry a child for 9 months only to give it away...no matter who the couple was or what sexual preference they have...
I am a gestational surrogate currently 5 weeks pregnant for a gay couple. I love it and I hope to do it again! I would consider carrying for a traditional couple for the right woman, but my first choice is a gay couple.
Sexuality of the couple has nothing to do with my decision for surrogacy, if I ever decide to do it. When I have healthy children who are at least in the school-going age, I will probably consider doing it for someone desperately in need of a baby. Whether they are gay or not doesn't matter. I think everyone has a right to be a parent so long as they are not abusive.
NO I would only become a surrogate mother for my close close friends I have told my friend that if she couldn't have children that I would carry a baby for her but never to someone I do not know I would never put my body through 9 months of discomfort for someone I did not know regardless if they were gay or straight
No ... I would never consider it. The whole idea is so disturbing to me - straight or gay. That said, I also think that we should not promote bringing children into situations where they will not have a mother and a father.
only if they were a family member would i put my body through that..
yes i would but first gay strait whatever i would make sure i thought it would be a conducive environment for a child to grow up in...... meaning the parents have a plan as to how they are going to raise their child...explain things..
If I could be a surrogate, and they were close friends, hell yeah I would do it for a gay couple. Sexual preference has no bearing on who they are as people or how big their hearts are to love a child. I would love to give the gift of life to a loving couple no matter what gender they prefer.

But unfortunately that'll never happen, I just couldn't give up a baby I carried around and bonded with for 9-10 months. I would be too attached.
no i wouldnt do it for either would become to attached

Non-smoker
# At least one previous pregnancy and delivery
# Healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy history
# No significant history of depression or any mental health disorder
# No criminal record
# Willingness to travel, expenses paid, to a non-local clinic for the medical procedure
# Able to withstand fertility medications and injections
# Healthy height to weight proportional


So, if you haven't had at least one child before, you cannot become a surrogate.I want to become a surrogate mother. How would I go about doing that?
99.9% of Surrogacy Agencies and Fertility Doctors require that you have the following Qualifications:

1) Have given birth to a healthy baby

2) Have a BMI under 30

3) Pass Psychological Evaluation

4) Pass a Medical Examination



They will also ask you if you wish to be a Gestational Carrier (this is to carry couple's embryo not your egg/embryo)

or a Traditional Surrogate, (Your egg, fertilized with the Intended Father's sperm).



Sorry if that was blunt or crass but that is only a tiny part about being a surrogacy, best of luck to you.



Google Surrogacy agencies...you will find tons of them.

Any actual agencies wont accept you, as they have no assurance that you can go through a pregnancy. Or if you are healthy enough to. They do alot of researching into a surrogate mother, and they wont accept someone who hasnt had a child of their own first. They have worries about the health of both you and the baby, plus if you get aatched because the new hormones and feelings, and not want to give up the baby....

What are the risks of becoming a surrogate mother?

What are the dangers? The ups and downs?What are the risks of becoming a surrogate mother?
Well, I'm not too sure of physical dangers, because an ob/gyn examines you and declaires you to be physically capable or not before you go through with it (usually... this is what I was told when we talked about it in class...) The thing to worry most about is how attached you may become to that baby. Mothers and babies develop a special bond while the baby is in the womb. Emotionally, it could be a disaster.What are the risks of becoming a surrogate mother?
there are the same as if you were pregnant with your own child the only bad part to being a sarogent mother is the attachment to the child you carry a child inside you for 9 months there is an attachment no matter what you do

What are the advantages & disadvantages of having a baby born through a surrogate mother ?

especially if a couple wants to adopt a third baby.Since the pregnancy would be a very high risk pregnancy for them %26amp; not a normal one?What are the advantages %26amp; disadvantages of having a baby born through a surrogate mother ?
The advantages to surrogacy are that you are related genetically to the child, you are able to participate in the pregnancy and it is relatively safe legally. Contrary to what the poster said above who carried for her sister, there is almost no risk of a surrogate being able to keep a child if she is a gestational surrogate. There can be difficulties if you use a traditional surrogate, but most situations today use an egg donor and a gestational surrogate if need be. In that case, the surrogate would have no leg to stand on if she wanted to keep the baby. Adoption has a higher risk of losing the baby to a birth mother who changes her mind before or after the birth. In surrogacy, it is not as common as people think for the gestational surrogate to have trouble handing over the child. Most know exactly what they are getting into emotionally before they do it and react how they think they will.



Cons: You have to put your blind faith in a surrogate and it is extremely expensive. Sometimes the surrogate lives in a different state so you do not get to be there for doctor appointments. You and the surrogate, no matter how much you screen, can have difference of opinions on pregnancy decisions and even though you have the legal right, it can be a tense situation.
Hi there, I can answer your question, because I was a surrogate for my sister. The advantages are that you know that the surrogate will eat healthy, exercise, and put the well being of the baby before herself. The disadvantages are that you won't be able to be there for every appointment, most surros are very private people, and sometimes they renig on the contract, especially if they wish to keep the baby.



My suggestion is that you contact: www.surrogatemothers.com. They can give you any information that you might need. You MUST get a lawyer involved that specializes in contracts between surrogates and biological parents. My sister and I had to do this, in order for me to hand over custody of my nieces. A lot of states don't recognize surrogate/biological parent contracts, so find out what the laws in your state are.



Good luck to you.What are the advantages %26amp; disadvantages of having a baby born through a surrogate mother ?

At the end of the day it is your decision as its your body.

maybe sit and think of the pros and cons of being a surrogate.

i think its a lovely gesture to do for someone however personally dont feel i could do it myself.

would it put your family in jeopardy? would your husband leave you ? how would your daughters feel?

im afraid these are also the factors you would need to look at...



like I said at the start it is your descision. I honestly dont think your husband will come round to the idea (however I do not know him) i know my partner wouldnt.

maybe have a long talk with him listen to his views and express yours see how that works out

So let me get this straight...you are going to pay $80,000 for the surrogacy process and ask another woman to endanger her life for you...just because you think your girlfriend isn't pretty enough? Wow. Please break up with her and find someone else. Because you obviously don't love her. And as far as her understanding, how would you feel if she came to you and said that she wants to marry you but if you were to have kids she would need a sperm donor because she thinks you look like a little girl? But I'm sure you would understand and still want to be with her. :)
She can still have your child. You can use her as the surrogate and implant the fertilized egg into her womb. Unless you don't want her to partake in the birth at all...which would result in my questioning: why is it your having children with her?

And as to wether she would be able to understand: No I don't think she would.How do I tell my girlfriend I want to find a surrogate mother when we decide to have kids?
being a doctor what i dont understand is there are girls who so badly want to have kids but even secretly have to go for surrogate yet there are people like you who dont want gf carrying their child!

simply put, you don't love her. if you did, the imperfections you think you see, wouldn't exist.

Contact an agency. Unless you have children already, most will turn you down because the costs for the future parents are too high to use on someone who has not had a complete and normal pregnancy. Also, keep in mind that many states now have laws that do not allow for payments to the surrogate (medical and travel costs only).

Does anyone know how to build a pacifier/surrogate mother for a kitten?

About two months ago a kitten (at least a minth old at the time) came into my family's life. She took to solid cat food immediately, so we never worried about bottle feeding her. But lately she's been wanting to suckle. None of the other older cats will volunteer their nipples and my dog doesn't seem to like the kitten chewing on him. Any ideas?Does anyone know how to build a pacifier/surrogate mother for a kitten?
There are very few things you can do to help poor little kitty adjust to a normal life. I suggest a fuzzy blanket that kitty can desecrate; maybe stick a doll's bottle through a hole in the blanket so kitty can get comfort from the surrogate. Otherwise, plan on getting a doll's bottle and assign someone in the family the job of being kitty's mommy, with the realization that they will be kitty's source of comfort for the duration of kitty's life. Either that, or plan on holding down one of the cats or the dog while kitty gets her comfort on. Good luck!
what you could do is take an old toy cat, remove some of the inner stuffing and put a little bottel with teat ( usually available at pet stores or from your vet)in. but don't do it for too long as your cat seems old enough. try to give her extra cuddles and attention and they also love it if you "Lick" their skin with a very slightly warm face cloth. its just like the mothers tongue. hope that helps.Does anyone know how to build a pacifier/surrogate mother for a kitten?
Our kitten just found a stuffed animal and simply imitated suckling. No nipples on the stuffed animal but it pacified her. She did this on her own. Try putting some treat on a stuffed animal and see the kitten starts to suckle

How much does it cost to have a surrogate mother carry a baby for you and what is the process for it like?

I decided that Im going to look into surrogacy since I cant get pregnant in the future... It seems a lot better than adopting.How much does it cost to have a surrogate mother carry a baby for you and what is the process for it like?
If you are actually 16, then finding out now how much this costs now is pointless because it will not cost the same amount in 10 years or whenever you end up doing it. But, for information purposes, I can tell you that a traditional surrogacy will run you around $30,000. Even though you said you want you future husband to "get her pregnant", you will still have to use a fertility clinic for the artificial insemination. No court in the country will uphold a surrogacy agreement without proof that the baby was created artificially and not naturally. If your husband gets her pregnant "the old fashioned way", then it would not be a surrogacy, it would be a forfeiture of parental rights and an adoption.
I thought you were a transsexual lesbian??? And that you were 16??? Oh, and that you're on HRT??? Or is this some sort of "group profile" and lots of different people are posting on it?
