What are you expecting out of this? Do you expect to get paid? I dont think it is a good thing because look at all the risks just an opinion.  =

Risks? Each & every decision in life has it's risks. I definately do not want a hand-out\to get paid. This is something that I would love to do, for years now. I have 2 healthy children, and I can't even begin to think of life without them. So many couples are not so blessed.  =

what would you be expecting from this money?  =

Reply to Hi: money? I'm not sure what that comment was for. I'm not interested in being a surrogate mother for any money at all. No amount of money can be compared to a child. I don't want to be paid for being a surrogate, I just want to bless a couple that cannot bring a child into the world on their own. I know that many different laws apply in different states, so the info helps alot. Also opinions, many people thinks it's a terrible thing, this world is a rough place, but life goes on. We just have to appreciate the good things. :-)  =

Sue you have to ask yourself some tough questions and only you can answer them...do you have kids...what kind of relatiionship are you looking for...your family ...will they support you? Many more just a few thoughts..........  =

I'm married, have 2 children, I have a pretty easy-going life. We have a great house, and a wonderful family here. We have it all (thank god!) But knowing that there are MANY couples that cannot have children, I really want to help, and why not? I'm not living in a fantasy land, it's life, and so many couples are hurting, but knowing that I can truely bless a couple with a child is a beautiful thing. We are also looking into foster, when my children are a little older we will take in foster children, which is a great big responsibility, my grandmother fostered over 50 children, she has war stories! My younger sister is really my cousin, my parents adopted her when she was almost 3 for reasons that her birth mom (my aunt) could not provide for her. I have many reasons for this, and yes I also have many questions for myself, but that goes with such a big decision. Thanks.  =

Sue, have you asked yourself the question of giving the child up that you carried for 9 months? I am a mother and I am an adoptive mother both. I don't know if I could give up a child I had carried. I know some people can but I'm probably not one of them. Money wouldn't enter into it with me either. But there is a bond with a mother and child. Could you turn your back on a child you carried?  =

Name: Sue • Date: 05/12/2006 09:10:53

It's not a matter of turning my back on a child. There are many negatives to this topic, and yes I bonded with my child the second I found out I was pregnant so I know what a wonderful feeling that is, imagine being without that feeling, forever. With every decision cones the positive, the negative. Sometimes you have to put yourself in someone elses shoes to understand and move past your opinions. At my home at 8:00 p.m. we read a few books, brush teeth, and tuck in our children. At 8:45-9:00 I check on them and ALWAYS have a smile on my face when I walk out of the room. If I wasn't able to have children, I wonder if I would be told negative things. The blessings that I have, I am willing to help bless another couple, under certain sur.  =

I do understand what you are saying and I do have the upmost respect for any parent who gives up a child to another parent whether thru adoption or as a surrogate parent. I was wondering about your emotional well-being. As you said you do bond with the child from the moment you know you are a pregnant. I wouldn't want you to have regrets after you are pregnant. If you think you can handle it emotionally then I do encourage you to try it. And if you do I want updates to see how you fare and how the adoptive family fares as well. Good luck.  =

Name: Sue • Date: 05/12/2006 15:33:09

I am not pregnant, I am seeking a couple to have a child for them. I am able to get pregnant, hold a pregnancy, and give birth, some women are not. It took me years to get to this point, I have always wanted to do this, and I'm ready. I know it will be a tough road, and I definately would have a bond with the child, but I will also know that I helped create a family. I am still young, but my husband and I are settled with 2 children, a great home, 2 cars, 2 dogs, etc... we couldn't ask for more! I understand what some people are saying: "How can you carry a child for 9 months and just give it away?" Well, this child isn't handled like a library book, or an old shoe! It is a beautiful life, if you were in someone else's shoes that couldn't have children, you would understand and be deeply touched.  =

if a person could not have there own child would you be willing to become preg with your own? and give it to them.  =

I do understand what you are wanting to do. But be aware of te emotional mess you will be in after. I'm not trying to talk you out of it. It is a wonderful gift to a family. I do know of a lady who has done this twice. And she has no regrets at all.  =

I am willing to help a couple that cannot have children, or concieve at all. I have found a wonderful couple that I am very hopeful for, so I will see how this goes for the next few weeks\months. I have been wanting to do this for years, but I can't say if I could do this twice, I am very honest but thats all the info I have for now.  =

Name: Sue • Date: 05/12/2006 23:06:48

I have had 10 years of thinking this through, I have a deep sadness in my heart for the couples that cannot have children. I will keep you posted about the couple I found, but I will not give their names or info about them. I am very excited right now, so I need to take one step at a time.  =

I have been to the doctors a couple times to give me the healthy ok, and everything is good. My husband and I are ready to start our journey, so here we are, ready to make a great couple parents!!!!! I was blessed with the wonderful mother instinct, and it hit me very hard recently and I just knew "I found my couple". I am glad that we all have to sign in on this chat site, but I didn't realize how hurtful and ignorant a few people were on here, but thankfully, I did find my couple, and I am so excited, I am so much looking forward to the moment when I will say to them "I'm pregnant" ...so hopefully very very soon this will happen. Some people just don't understand how I could just "give up a child" but I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life childless, my heart takes over and I know that this couple will be excellent parents, grateful to god, and I know that in their hearts, theres a special place for me, knowing that I gave them the best gift that could be given. I know that I am one out of a million, but I am one of gods workers, and I believe that the great couples that suffer need someone like me to help them, and give them the gift they truely deserve. Bless you all on whatever journey you chose, Sue.  =

Name: S.M.B. • Date: 06/21/2006 20:09:51

...And to answer the question of "How could I put myself through this?" Well, heres my answer: I will definately feel a heartache after the couple takes their baby home, BUT it will not add up to their heartache of NOT being able to have a child to love, raise, etc. My heart is too good, and my body thank God is healthy enough to give this blessing, please understand, put your mind and heart in other peoples shoes before judging. Thanks, Sue.  =

Unfortunately not all married couples, which wish to have a child, know how to solve the problem correctly! Some people have a skeptical attitude to the Surrogate Motherhood Program but the majority of people understand that it is the last chance that is given to them in this life and agree to take part in the extracorporeal fertilization program for achievement of desired results and have a long-awaited child.
In our opinion, the issues of Surrogate Motherhood unfortunately are legally settled unsatisfactorily all over the world.
Only in Ukraine and United States of America (State of California) the Law protects the rights of genetic parents. Under legislation of all other countries, the Surrogate mother is considered to be the real mother of the child.
Please find below the brief list of services offered by us under the Surrogate Motherhood program.
Which are the requirements for Surrogate Mother?
She must be a woman of the age of 18 to 35 years, preferably having her own child (or several children). If the Surrogate Mother is married, her husband shall give a notarially certified written consent for participation in the extracorporeal fertilization program. One additional and very important requirement for potential Surrogate mother is her moral and psychological stability, absence of criminal past and medical parameters.

Wow, I looked at your list of replies and couldn't help but to respond. I am an experienced gestational surrogate about to embark on my second journey. I am in communications w/ new ips. I delivered twins via surrogacy in Nov. of '05. This will be an experience of a lifetime for you. How is everything going thus far? I have 3 kids of my own and my husband and I have also been foster parents in the past. Don't let any "strange" comments get to you- only you know where you heart calls you. Kudos to you, fellow surrogate! When I was asked how I could do such a thing I responded, "Imagine going to sleep every night and seeing your child in your dreams, then waking up and realizing they aren't there!" You are an angel indeed!  =

Hi MamaLisa, thank you so much! I'm not pregnant yet, kinda wondering why!? But patience I must have. I am excited, I can't wait to tell my couple when I find out that I'm pregnant. I know they have been waiting for so long, I hope this happens very soon! I wanted to do this since I was 16\17 years old. I have been around a few people that had so many fertility issues, and it just tore an emotional scar through my heart. Thanks and take care.  =

To 2poms4us - There are two kinds of surrogates- gestational surrogates (what I am) which is when another couple's embryo is placed into the surrogate's uterus, and her womb (hopefully!) babysits that embryo(s) for 9 mon....Gestational surrogates have no DNA in common w/the baby. The second kind are traditional surrogates who become pregnant thru artificial insemination, their own eggs are fertilized by the intended father's sprem so they them share DNA with the child they give birth to. Egg donors and or sperm donors can also be used in this process if intended mother or father need them...a donated egg in gs isn't from the surrogate. As for the legal matters, it sometimes depends on you state, but here (PA) if you are a gs, there is a pre-birth order signed so the intended parents (also called natural parents) can go straight onto the birth certificate( a court order is brought to the hospital)...not do an adoption. In traditional surrogacy you get a birth certificate first that does list the surrogate as mother and the intended mother goes on the birth certificate later after doing a step-parent adoption(baby still goes home w/intended parents)..hope that answers some questions. Feel free to ask any others:)  =

I was interested in being a surrogate, but my husband and I are going to both be the birth parents of the child. I fell in love with a couple, and this is what we all decided. Tough decision. :-)  =

Name: Rhonda • Date: 07/17/2006 23:41:27

Sue, I admire you for making this sacrafice. I see from some of your message that some people are so closed minded and ingnorant that they do not understand how it would feel to be childless with no hopes of being a parent and then someone like you bless their lives. You are doing a great thing. Don't listen to the negative comments.
Rhonda  =

Name: S.M.B. • Date: 07/18/2006 17:18:49

Thanks :-) I know that what I am doing is wonderful, I also know that a big chunck of my heart will be missing forever, but that goes along with my decision, and it's something I feel 100% about doing. I will keep you all posted. My doctor said it could take a week, month, couple months, a year to get pregnant, so I'm patiently waiting. :-)  =

Name: Bearbee • Date: 07/20/2006 19:40:10

Sue,
Please ignore those negative comments. After seeing a Dateline Special on adoption and me myself being adopted I tearfully aked my husband if we could give a child to a couple. I know that I can not gve up my "own" child, but i have looked into being a gestational surrogate. I wish you all of the luck in the world with everything. :)

To those that assume that people who become surrogates are looking for something: I am looking for something. The happiness that I will see on the parents face. The joy when they see the pictures of their unborn child. The anticipation that the parents will feel picking out baby clothes and making that empty room in their home into a nursery. And, of course the relief that I will feel when ALL goes wel. And, a husband and wife go from being a husband and wife to a mommy and daddy. Not everything is selfish and thinks about money.  =

Name: Dreamsofchild • Date: 07/20/2006 19:45:50

Sue, are you already a mom? If so may I ask how many children you and your spouse have been blessed with? Surrogacy is not the right answer for our family but it can be for many others. I wish you well on your journey.

Why is everybody being so negative to this woman. Maybe she just wants to do something nice for someone who can not have kids (like me) I think it is a very nice thing to do. Not everybody does things just for money!!!!!!!  =

Name: Melis • Date: 07/20/2006 21:15:29

I think that it is a wonderful thing you are doing for the couple. My husband and I spoke with someone about being a surrogate for us and she wanted a flat fee of $18,000 plus any medical expense, maternity clothes, travel fees, insurance, babysitting, etc I can understand the medical part, but everything else plus the base fee is crazy. We very badly want to have children so we are now homestudy ready and hopefully will be able to adopt soon. (fingers crossed). I know that the right birthmother will come along and choose us, I just hope and pray that it will not take long.
But I do think that you are a Wonderful person to be doing what you are doing for a childless couple like myself and my husband!  =

Name: MamaLisa • Date: 07/21/2006 13:22:31

Amen to that Bearbee! Surrogates and birthmoms are good people for the most part...and Melis- what you needed at the time is called a compassionate surrogate, they only charge medical, travel expenses, etc....good luck with adopting though:)  =

Name: S.M.B. • Date: 07/22/2006 09:10:26

To Dreams: I'm not sure what you mean by a surrogate isn't right for you guys, do you mean if it was your egg and sperm? I was interested in that, but we decided on concieving the child ourselves, then placing this blessing with the couple (adoptive parents) And your question(s) can usually be answered by reading this whole post, which can get boring after a while I guess. I have two children, daughters, they are my sunshine! And for the other comments about the money, thats horrible, $18,000 is nice, but it will fade, a child will keep that special glow forever. I'm not asking for money or putting a price on anything, if the couple insists, then I will accept a little money for maternity clothes and food. Well, next week is my menstrul cycle date, so hopefully it wont visit!!!  =

It was interesting to read this entire post. You are a great person Sue. I dealt with infertility, and right before becoming pregnant I had a very dear friend (whom I met on this site - but have been speaking with on the telephone often, and got very close with) offer to surrogate for me. I was amazed. I couldn't believe that someone could possibly offer such a thing. She was completely sincere and honest though, didn't want any money, just the money to fly to America to have the baby (she lives in Australia). I was so touched. Fortunatly I became pregnant that month, and so all is well, but the sentiment was so touching. You are doing a beautiful thing.  =

Hi Sue,
I'm glad you stuck around and up for yourself here!!! This is exactly why most dont. The bad posts above. Here is the funny part some of those negative posts in the beginning are the same ppl as the some of the ones posting later in RED.
I hope things are going well in your venture I think it's awsome what you are doing and to be honest I've thought about doing the same sense I've been learning more and more about the hardships of adopting!!
Good luck to you and ignore the yo yos (which you are doing fine at)
Many hugz

Hi Sue

I think what you are wanting to do is wonderful.. I am a surrogate mother and currently pregnant. I am just carrying another couples baby. As a surrogate you get so involved and so overwhelmed with happiness that you can do something so wonderful for someone.. I think anyone who is negative towards you are the selfish ones.. I think what you want to do is the least selfish thing in this world.. People will say "how can you give up a baby you carried for nine months" well you know why you are doing this from the beginning so you know the baby isn't yours.. To share the happiness with the intended parents is wonderful.. To make someone else's dreams come true, well how many people can say they did that.. Plus all those ones who are negative, they are the selfish ones.. They cannot put someones wishes ahead of themselves.. I think that is VERY SELFISH. For the money, it is weird to think you will get paid and at one point to help cover the costs of the IVF cycle's I was going to relinquish the money back to the couple. But our second time was a charm.. DO NOT feel bad about accepting money, it's not like you are getting paid millions.. It's really not that much in the scheme of things, and that is okay.. When you figure all you have to go through and trust me you go through a lot and think of it as child support, or you are being paid to watch or take care of another child. Cause if you had a daycare you wouldn't do it for free. The intended couple, they do not mind one bit that they pay you for this.. They are happy to somehow help you in return as you have helped them.. So if you decide to do it, that is great... If you want some information on how I contacted agencies email me.. karinnewport@hotmail.com  =

I am still amazed at how quick this is happening!! It's funny how we plan on having another baby in 3-5 years from now, but here I am pregnant and we don't have to plan for this precious baby, we just have to make sure of a healthy pregnancy. I am so happy, excited, scared, in awe, touched, etc. I'm filled with emotions and my dream is to hear "it's a boy" -or- "it's a girl" and watch this beautiful couple hold their baby for the first time, that is priceless. I know that not many people can relate to this, but I just can't explain the joy that this couple has already showed me, they are truely blessed and they are already good parents in my eyes. Congratulations to my couple!  =

Hi Sue, I'd be thrilled to continue reading about your journey. I had a surrogate daughter (TS) almost four years ago. Her parents, I, and my children continue to have a wonderful relationship. I am about to be a TS for a close friend of mine. It certainly is emotional, no doubt. You realize a whole new debthness of love you never imagined having before. It's very different then the love you feel for your own children, while being just as intense. I learned a tramendous amount throughout my journey, if you'd be interested in talking.

Many people most certainly have a negative opinion, but in my experience it's coming from unsureness, lack of understanding, confusion and fear. I love talking with those who ask questions with an open mind. One of the hardest responses I faced from someone I knew, was "How could you do such a horrible thing!! Who talked you into this??" as I held this most gorgeous child that I brought into this world and into her parents lives. Horrible thing? No. Talked me into this?? Something I knew I would one day do, since I was a young child. But be ready for comments like that.

And what is right for some, is not right for others. Everyone is also welcome to their opinions.

When matched with the right couple, surrogacy can be absolutely incredible. Emotions are catered to on both ends, and understanding is prevelent. When the wrong match occurs, for a number of reasons, even the tiniest of them, a surrogate can be left with very hurt feelings, as well as the parents.

There are many legalities that need to be followed. I strongly believe that surrogates are definitely deserving of compensation, although the ability of even this will depend on the state you live in. We don't expect people to build our houses, cook our food, babysit our children, because they are "able" to, even if they love their job. It's hard work, and when being a surrogate your not able to take a break or feel normal until a few months following the birth, atleast. Hovering over the toilet, is not fun. Crawling on my hands and knees to the toilet in the morning because the shooting pain is too tramendous to walk, is not fun. Ending up in tears because I can't turn over in bed without pain, is not fun. But it's worth absolutely everything and worth granting such a dream.

$18,000 is a very fair compensation amount for a first time surrogate. This is what I received. I am receiving less this time, and have chosen to include all of the possible extras such as lost wages, clothing, monthly allowance (gas for apts, vitamins, extra food, etc), house help, childcare (apts, birth, recovery), and anything additional, within my fee.

Money disappears very quickly, memories last a lifetime and for generations. My first surrogacy experience changed even my childrens lives, leaving lessons they've learned being shared with others. A rippling effect occurs, its incredible. I have no doubt my second journey will be filled with many lessons, great and challenging. It's part of life.

Good luck with your journey :)  =

You know, I would just like to address the person who suggested people like Sue are simply after money. There are some surrogate mothers who choose not to ask anything monetary wise from the couple that they work with, although they are rare. I think it takes a special kind of person to know that their job is to bring a life into this world for someone who can't. I know a woman who is a surrogate mother, and she could not have been happier. It wasn't about the money for her, and if she were to work with the couple again, she has expressed that she does not wish to charge them anything, that is how much she loves this couple. I think for the vast majority of women who choose to become a surrogate, the process has much more to do with the emotional than physical.
You cant go through surrogacy, if it wasn't for the love of the outcome first. A passion within the heart. Most surrogates will say, it's not about the money, at it really isn't. Quite a few surrogates will go through one surrogacy and not charge the second time around (except all the extra items covered) because the parents are so much like family to them.  =

Sue,
All I can say is that you are an angel. I am so happy for your couple. I pray someday that we meet someone as special as you. I so look forward to following you through your journey. Might I suggest that you start a blog, that way no negative comments come your way. It infurriates me to read how rude some people are. If you do start a bog, I'd love to know about it. destined2adopt@yahoo.com
Many blessings to you and your family,
Seal  =

Conceiving a baby with your husband and then giving it away to another couple does not constitute surrogacy.
How lucky you were to find out all about surrogacy and find a couple in just a day!  =

I have been a surrogate mother. The feelings are powerful, but they are different. Sue, I don't think anyone should be judging you because of your interest here. I don't think anyone can understand how precious doing this selfless act can make you feel. Imagine you knew someone who always wanted something they couldn't get for themselves for Christmas, but you had the ability to make their dream a reality., so you did. You were the one who did it for them, and made their dream come true. You know how wonderful it's going to make them feel and how much better their life is going to be. Now, amplify that feeling by a bazillion times, and you might have an inkling of how wonderful it is to be a surrogate mother. When I was looking into it, I looked at a lot of different places. I chose the select surrogate (www.selectsurrogate.com). I had a wonderful, amazing experience with them. I highly recommend you look into them.  =

Hello, it's been a while since I have visited. I appreciate all of the hopeful parents that would like to chat, but if you will please read this entire post or most of, then you will know that I have 1 couple already. Everything is going well. As I said before, I wish that I could help the whole world, but I can't. I haven't visited this site because theres too many scammers and less truthful sincere posters here. For all of the genuine posters, take care and good luck with everything in your lives. Bless you all. :-)  =

Hi everyone, I decided to read around the crowd for a bit today. I'm actually noticing even more horrible posts. I have decided to never return to baby crowd again. I know that there are a handfull of good seeds on this site, and I'm glad to have posted here in the past, but unfortunately theres just too many stinky posts here that I am tired of coming accross and reading. I am so glad that I chatted with those of you that have great minds and wonderful hearts, take care and I wish you all the best that life can be for you....even you bad seeds! Take care :-) Sue. Bye!!!!  =

Won't someone please help?!  =

some of your replies to people on here have brought a tear to my eye. I have so wished I could find someone to give us that chance. I see and have had to raise some peoples kids because they were to busy with being a kid and it hurts so badly to know that there are people like that that should't have kids and there are people like us that can't. We can provide a wonderful home for a child I just wish someone would give us that chance, our dream!  =

Hello... I'm a first time surrogate working with a family already. But you might want to go to www.surromomsonline.com. You can post a free ad, and they have alot of helpful info on surrogacy. Hope this helps! :)  =

I think it's great you want to be a surrogate mother. My fiancee & I have been together a couple of years now (have known him for seven) and we can't seem to conceive. I think neither one of us will get tested because it would break the heart of the other one if we found out which one was actually the one unable to conceive. The fact that you'd do it for no money is so awesome & so unselfish!! If you're still interested, please email me. I'd love to discuss further with you. Maybe this is what we need. Adoptions are so expensive & it's very frustrating to know how badly you want a child & the government/laws make it so expensive! Anyway, if you'd like to talk, please do email me. sgenareo@elwd.com. Til then, take care.  =
