How would a 10 year old girl intrepid when she is told that her birth mother is a Surrogate Mother who used an egg donor. Her birth certificate only contains her father鈥檚 name. The Surrogate Mother has no legal parental rights over her, so her father is her only legal guardian. This cost her father $50,000 dollars.How would a 10 year old girl intrepid when she is told that her birth mother is a Surrogate Mother?
Surrogacy is different from adoption. A child born via surrogacy was always wanted, was never inconvenient, was never abandoned or given away. The woman who birthed her was assisting her parents, not running to them for help in a desperate time of her life.



While I agree that kids need to know these things from the beginning if possible, I'd tell her asap. Kids are much more resilient that we give them credit for.
interpret..the word is interpret.



Why does she need to be told anything?How would a 10 year old girl intrepid when she is told that her birth mother is a Surrogate Mother?
She will be confused at first however she will need to be told one day. Just tell her the truth and answer any questions that she will have.
Well, if I found out a truth about myself like that at 10, or 20, or 30, I'd be pretty upset.



Children deserve to know the truth of their origins from the beginning. Not something sprung on them like an "aha!" moment.



Children that were adopted need to always know they were adopted. Children that were born from surrogates need to always know that.



If the parents are too uncomfortable telling a child the truth, then maybe they need to rethink what they are doing.
You should tell her now, before she becomes a teenager, and the hormones control her. She will react badly, but then again, kids are smarter than they look. She could have had an inkling, but was too embarrassed to say, because she could have been wrong. Confront her. She'll have to find out sooner rather than later...
I am adopted and was told at the age of 10. It affects everyone differently, for me, I was embarrassed for anyone to know. I thought people would make fun of me. But I do agree that she needs to know. There shouldn't be secrets held. Be honest and explain every detail you have.
