The first time i probably heard of surrogate mothers was in the show Friends.. not sure if you guys watch the show.. or even know the characters. But.. it was about a sister holding her brother's triplets because his wife couldn't give birth. the second time i heard of it .. was in lecture.. we discussed one case where a mother of 46-7 yrs wasn't able to give birth because it would have meant complications.. so she had her daughter carry the baby. i think it's such an amazing advance in science.. i've always had a fear that i wouldn't be able to get pregnant.. so knowing that this exists.. gives me a great relief. as for being a surrogate mother.. i would do it.. no second thoughts.. only because if there is someone out there that cannot.. it's always good to know that there is someone who can.. (foro members .. and myself ) ..

I totally agree with you but it looks like those are not as popular as they use to be !

I think I would do it,.. even for strangers,. because u have to see it as a service,. of course if it is for a family memeber or a friend u would do it for LOVE,.. to help them,. u won't see it as a service,. and if u don't see it like that,. u might get attached to the baby,. if he/she is not part of ur family would be hard for u,...about the money issue,. I think it depends on the amount,. because even when u adopt u have to pay ,..
IN THE US I HAVE HEARD OF WOMEN CHARGING UP TO 15G's AND ON TOP OF IT ALL THE COUPLE PAYS MEDICAL BILLS AND HOUSING AND FOOD!!! NOW THATS CRAZY!
Wowww, that's crazy and a lot of money. Well in the web site I check last night, it say that the "price" can vary between 9k to 18k US. I don't know but I thought pple would not do that for money but out of good heart (I am definitively to naive, Sh@%). If one day I decide or be asked to do it, I would only ask for the pregnancy related expenses, I mean, it's not abot doing business, at least not for me.

I don't know why, but this subject just poped up in my mind and I was wondering what are you feelings or thoughts about Surrogate Mothers. It is a legal practice in Canada, even if, from what I just read. But it seems not to be very popular within the medical field. I know that adoption is also an option but sometimes, for whatever reason, it is denied to some couples (and I am not even thinking about the gay/lesbian community). So the only resort for those couples seems to be "finding a Surrogate Mother". I don't think this is a bad thing as far as all the parties are well aware and conscious about what they are doing.
