Want to Be a Surrogate Mother?

There are many questions to ask yourself before you decide

"What kind of relationship do I want to have with the parents after all is said and done?" Some continue to remain friends, some do not. I am still in touch with one couple, but not the other one. They send me pictures and letters and we are very much still friends. It is nice. The other couple and I just never really clicked, and that is okay. It's all good.

There are many, many more questions one needs to ask before becoming a surrogate, but if I listed them all here this article would go on forever. The bottom line is, you need to keep yourself protected and be prepared. Surrogacy is a wonderful alternative for many infertile couples, and it takes a special woman to even have the desire to want to be surrogate mother. Get answers, get educated, then get going -- hundreds of couples are waiting, just for you.

  • My twins were born using our genetic material with a surrogate carrying them. It was a difficult experience for all of us--control is a concern for everyone and letting more people into what you thought would be a private experience... It should be investigated carefully by anyone interested.

  • Thanks for this article, Charlie. I think many people, myself definitely included, are curious about surrogacy and how it all works. How fascinating to hear from a woman who has actually been a surrogate. Thanks, again!
