Would you do it?
If you had a friend that was not able to conceive children, would you be a surrogate mother for her? Would you be willing AND ABLE to carry that baby for nine months and then give the baby up?
I've thought long and hard about this. One of my best friends from college and fellow sorority sister, was not able to have children for a long time. After much thought and prayer, I offered "my services". She thanked me but told me that if God wanted her to have children, He would find a way. Sure enough, she was pregnant later that year. Would you be able to do it? |

Even though I know the heartache of not being able to conceive (my son is adopted) I don't think I would be able to be a surragate. I would want to be able to since I know how much it hurts wanting a baby, but I just don't think I could.

Yes - I would do it - but only for my sister, if she wasn't able to! I have 2 children of my own (now teenagers), and I absolutely loved being pregnant!!! To fill you in...When my sister first got married, they planned on having children right away, since they dated for alot of years. Two years later, when I got married, still not babies for them. Six months after I got married, I became pregnant. My sister was devistated. Two years, using no contraceptives at all, and still she didn't conceive. She started going specialist immediately after finding out I was pregnant, and it's horrible to remember how she resented me, and barely was able to look at me during this time. Not because she hated me, but because she couldn't conceive herself. We finally actually talked about what she would do if she couldn't conceive, and talked about me being a surrogate for her and her husband. But, just a few short months after this whole ordeal began, and after following up with her doctors, my sister became pregnant!!! It was an unbelievable time!!! Her son, and first child, was born just 7 months after my daughter was born. It was wonderful! I can't tell you the joy. Today, she has 3 children total, and I have 2. Sooooo, whenever this subject comes up, I know for a fact, that I would have definitely been a surrogate for my sister, without a doubt. I believe that helping those less fortunate than ourselves is a wonderful contribution to life.

I would do it for my sisters, but no one else.
