Surrogacy

how can he be sure the surrogate will bear a son this time?

@amitkokiladitya In my opinion,it is not important what you and I think.What is important is that what the couple thinks.For them having a son ,or,a daughter for that matter,is important .Let them have a child.So far as I am concerned ,had I been in their place, I would not go for surrogacy.

When I was pregnant with my son I went on a website for pregnant mums. One lady has six sons and she desperately wanted a daughter. However she got baby son number 7. She worked out a clever plan to get a daughter. She travelled to a clinic in Cyprus where she had gender specific IVF. Amazingly she gave birth to triplet girls. It is so sad your cousin's wife had some miscarriages and these caused a weak uterus. How can you be sure they can choose the gender the surrogate lady will give your cousin and his wife? I went on to have a daughter born two years after my son.

At the end of the day, it is their decision. So long as they're both okay with it, and it's something they want, then that's the important thing.

@amitkokiladitya I cannot answer that..Miscarriages are no fun.

He could not be sure whether the surrogate would bear a daughter or a son, right?

I really fail to understand how surrogacy can assure him a boy child? The child can be a girl also? Could you kindly explain me?

Yeah the idea that a son is the family name bearer seems so important for some that they resort to this kind of arrangement just too get their surname go on. It is rather a new kind of thought these days that some accept this as normal arrangement between couples who really want to have a "son" of their own.

How can surrogacy ensure that it is going to be a boy?

Well if his wife is still able to be pregnant yet they opted for surrogacy I’d be a bit not pleased about it. But since his wife’s health does not allow for normal means that should be fine. Modern medicine should not be abused. If a person is able, she should not skip motherhood. But in cases where health and life is at stake then modern medicine is very helpful. That being said, no matter what reasons are, at the end of the day, we must respect the couples decision. Everyone is the captain of their life.

How do they know that it will be a son ?

If they both want it that way, then it is their decision, even though there is no guarantee it will be a boy. A male child is usually desired to carry on the family name.

Maybe he wants someone to be names after him.

I think adoption is a better option than surrogacy. But that's just me.

It would be acceptable if they don't have children. Anyway it is their choice and let them happy with the same.

As long as they have both agreed on it and it makes them happy let them go for it

These people are really crazy. They are backwards and think that having a son can bring them peace. ridiculous!

And how if the child is also a baby girl?
