  • We sat down with four surrogates to find out all the things they want you to know about their experiences and the process. Are they only in it for the money? Do they get too attached to the fetus? How does it affect their personal lives? Would they ever do it again?

    Eventhough I don't want children, I still think it's amazing how women can help other couples and families. If you have your own children, why not help someone else have theirs.

    I hate that you guys commenting act like people who can’t have kids are responsible for adopting all the kids out here who’s biological parents gave them away. They are no more responsible for adopting children than you are. They want children with their DNA just like you. Anyone can adopt... so do it if you feel pulled to. Anyways, I’m about to be a surrogate mom soon.

      Plus it's not exactly that easy to "just adopt"
      When you're looking to adopt a newborn there are so many factors that can effect what happens on if you get the kid or not. If you pay an adoption agency (which ends up in thousands of dollars) you never have a guarantee you'll ever end up with a baby. If you pay a surrogate to carry a baby for you, you have a lot less of a chance not to have a child in the end- and you have a factor of trust that the child will almost always be healthy when they're born.

    I have a disorder that causes infertility even though I haven’t actually tried to get pregnant it’s nice to know that I have an opportunity to have children that are genetically linked to me ( 🤞🏾that my ovaries are still viable😬) still want to adopt children for sure given that there are sooo many children without homes. I would be fortunate to love a child regardless of their origin story 🤗💛💛💛

    I don't know about their mental health, but it kinda seems they're addicted to the hormones pregnancy gives you. They seem happy tho, even tho they're overweight, which is not particularly good when you're pregnant (I mean, that's what doctors say for medical reasons I don't want to shame or anything). If this doesn't affect anybody physical or mental health, I don't think it is wrong. Even tho I always prefer adoption because I think it is better to give happiness to someone unhappy and alone than creating a whole new life because of infertility. I know adoption is hard, but I think it's the best choice: giving happiness to someone who hasn't experienced it yet is way more altruistic than surrogates. Still I am nobody to say this is wrong
