A rich and influential man has asked a friend of mine , a female to bear a child for him and he promised to buy her a house , a car and give her 100 thousand dollars but he is not going to marry her ,he just wants the baby. Above all,the lady will just have visiting right over the child. My friends parents got wind of it and are pressurizing the lady to accept the offer

I think that the woman should think very carefully about it. If she doesn't have much money, the house and the car and the money can be tempting, but can she handle the emotional aspects of the offer? She would have to carry the child for 9 months and when the child is born she will not be able to take care of it like a normal child, because the child belongs to the man and she has given away her right to child away in exchange for money and material things. Does she really want that? Maybe her parents want her to accept the offer, because they think that financial security is more important than the emotional aspects, but I still find it hard to understand their opinion. I would never pressurize my daughter into something like that, I think that has be to the daughter's own decision because she is the one who is going to live with the consequences of the decision.

That depends on the advantages it offers to your friend and so was her disadvantages towards accepting the indecent offer.In the terms of financial aspects it really serves her well because the offer is tremendously too large even if it did not offer marriage which has no effect on your friend so,why wait for marriage that both of them have no feelings to each other.The final answer depends on your friend if she grab the opportunity for riches and becomes a single mother.

Well monetarily speaking it is a good offer, however at the same time I would think that it'd not be something I'd want to do. The child would be partially mine and to not be able to see it but ever so often I would not like. I could take not marrying the man, but I would want to be able to have open invitation to his home to see the child. How does your friend feel about this?

I don't like such proposals, not for the money and all that, but instead for the future of the baby, it seems like "selling" him her baby or something like that really. And above that, will her be the mother or just will carry him and "forget" about that? As a mother, I don't think the girl would have an easy time considering that she will have to give away his baby after he's born. The money may be tempting, but trading with such thing don't seems too good for me, and for the sake of the baby. I would not take it, there are always better forms of sustaining herself.

it's not a new thing about surrogacy..maybe that rich guy's wife can't bear a child..or if he has no wife, maybe he just wants a baby..but he has his own reason why he only wants a baby.. what surprised me is your friend's parents..if i have not mistakenly understood your statement, her parents want you friend to accept the rich guy's offer..but they should know that as a mother, it's hard to just give away you child that you've carried inside your womb for 9months..and for the exchange of money, house and a car..they should know about that because it's hard to be a mother..
