Dou you think that surrogate mothering is a bad idea?

I had to have a partial hysterectomy when my daughter was born. My husband and I would love to have a another child. Dou you think that surrogate mothering is a bad idea?Dou you think that surrogate mothering is a bad idea?
How does your family feel about it? My mother doesn't accept my sister's baby as totally hers, because she got pregnant using a donor egg. That's bizarre, of course, but still effects things for my sister. If your family is reasonably supportive, you are able to find someone (maybe anonymous) you are comfortable with, and you have the money to do it, then sure go for it! Otherwise, my sister was also able to adopt a baby by becoming a foster mom through the state. She's getting PAID to take care of her son.
not at allDou you think that surrogate mothering is a bad idea?
Not at all. If this does not work out for you, there is adoption.
i think its a wonderful idea!!!!
i'd make sure it is a woman that's been one before..you always hear these stories of women that change their minds after they give birth..
No I don't. I have contemplated being one for my sister in law who cannot have children.
No it is great! I would love to be one because i love being pregnant and ive had the healthest baby in the world nothing wrong but two ear infections. Plus i dont want any more childern. There are people out there that cant have kids and i think it is something they are missing out on and it is great when people will help with the gift of life. My aunt was going to do it for my cousin.
not one bit. some women are born to be mothers and unfortunately for them they are cursed and cant have children, so with surrogate mothers being around and willing to have a baby and give it up, theirs is nothing wrong with it
I have often considered being a surrogate mother. I am very fertile and I already have two children. I got my tubes tied because I do not want anymore children. However I do really like being pregnant. A friend of mine can't have children and I was with her when she found out, and it was so devastating for her. Her and her husband decided to apopt instead of doing surrogacy. But I think it is a great solution for women who can not get pregnant for one reason or another. I hope that was helpful.
this might happen

I also had a daughter and then later was not able to carry due to a fibroid removal. We attempted Gestational (my eggs) two times, but it did not work, so we went with a Traditional surrogate. Even though she is not my biological daughter, I love her like she is, and I know she loves me. We are going to be very open with her about it...she will know her surro mom as her biological mother(she is only 9 months old right now), but as soon as she is old enough to talk, she will know. I don't think it is a bad idea, if you go into it thinking of what is BEST for the child and not just that you want a child of your own.
I dont think so if that is one of your only options, but choose a surrogate mother very carefully. I might not choose a lady who has not had children yet, they tend to get attached and think of it as her baby. I might choose a lady who has had a few children already and who is older. Meet with potential women several times and choose a woman that you can feel totally comfortable with, that understands your situation and really wishes for you to have more children because that is what you want. Remain calm, dont choose when you are feeling desperate. Make sure both you and your husband interview the person together so you can both talk it out and discuss the people. good luck to you!
I think it is a great idea. I myself am actually in the process of being a surrogate for an infertile couple. Many women have easy pregnancies and enjoy being pregnant, but do not want any more children of their own. Many that I know love to be surrogates also, becuase of the enjoyment of being pregnant, seeing the faces of the new parents when they get their baby, and us not having to take it home!
