If you had a loved one that was unable to conceive a child would you surrogate for them?How tough of a choice would it be for you?Could you say yes or no on the spot or would you have to think about it?I would be a surrogate for someone I cared for.

I feel I could be a surrogate for someone very close to me, like my sister. If she could not have children and asked me to, I think I could do it for her, since I would always still be able to have a relationship with the child. I could not do it for a stranger. I could not do it knowing I would never see the child I carried for nine months. Carrying a child for nine months and then jsut letting go would be too difficult for me. If my sister asked me to do this for her, I would not have to think about it very long, but i might second guess myself in the beginning of it. It is a big decision, for any women who carries a child for nine months will forever have a bond with the child, realized or not.

i prefer the naturalway..i don't like the idea of messing about with nature..maybe i am oold fashioned..ifi can't have a kid i would adopt apoor kid that has no family and do some good in the world rather than creating a more complicated situation..but that is just my 2 cents o.k?

I am not sure that I am even going to have children of my own, so I'm not certain that I could do it for someone else. Not only that, but with some of the health problems that I've had, I'm not 100% certain that I would be able to help someone in that way. But it isn't that I wouldn't want to be helpful, especially towards someone that I really cared about. I would do just about anything for those that I love. This just happens to be one thing that would be an insanely major decision for me, and I'm leaning towards no unless the people were those I really cared about and they had no other option, and I would definitely have to get checked out fully by a doctor first, which hasn't happened in, well, basically ever, because of my shyness which has kept me away from the doc's office for years.

I refally don'y think I could do this.I have lost a child and I don't think I could give up one.I would love to be able to if someone I loved dearly asked but I would have to think long and hard.
