- Surrogacy in the United States has become more popular than ever, but paying women to carry someone else's fertilized egg is raising complex legal and ethical issues. Lisa Ling explores the taboo trend.
3 biological and 6 adopted and now a surrogate?! SHE IS GODLY🙄
Sheenal Deo surrogate twice! 🙄 I’m like damn she’s super woman lol
Lara Fruehwald mo
Lilman Yellow "just" carrying a baby? I'm 39 weeks pregnant and pregnancy isn't easy. Some may be easier than others, but they're not "just" easy
Sheenal Deo this mom actually has something like 13 children now and her sister has 21 children (all but 2 are adopted). They both are amazing parents and have CZcams channels called Missing pieces and The crazy middles
Sheenal Deo Hear Hear!
Nine kids of her own, some of the addopted and she's a surrogant? So much respect from me.
She's a disgusting piece of work. the planet is already overpopulated. Should be sterilized!
@@TheZodiacz how could you say that she is so amazing there is a special place for u in hell shame on you she is so nice she has 6 adopted children and she is helping a couple have a baby because they can't I would re think what you said.
She has a CZcams channel: CRAZY PIECES
@@TheZodiacz She took her adopted children out of abusive homes and foster care. I think calling her disgusting is a little much.
for the first time in history, a Chinese product got made in American
Riya Dey racist
sorry man i didn't mean to hurt anyone, that was a joke
That wasn't Racist at all don't worry.
Return to sender, parcel is going to be send back to China.
Well a human being shouldnt be considered a product. Thats messed up
As someone who physically cannot have children of my own, these women are angels. I live in Canada. Rules are so much more different!
Gracie Max It's absolutely crazy to think some states have it outlawed.
Lily J. Thomas really? As of this week the only public fertility clinic stated they will be closing their doors and every woman going through or were scheduled to go through treatments have to go to a private clinic and pay $$$. I can't imagine it being out lawed! That's crazy!
Under Trump America is it's really a nightmare, we really are living under a dictatorship. I'm afraid the birth control I use for my medical issues will end up not being covered soon and I'll be shit out of luck. (Pardon my French)
Lily J. Thomas be as French as you want! I feel for you! Always welcome here in Canada. We have our issues too. But I do watch the news and I feel awful for you guys!
I've been thinking since day 1 to get my citizenship in Canada but I'm praying Trump gets kicked out of the White House soon. Some of his side kicks on the campaign trail are being picked up on collusion with the Russians.
A women gives her time, body and life. Surrogacy is an amazing journey. Yes, it is the greatest gift you can give someone.

Wendy Zamor ...isn't a (gift)
So cute
pretty hurts _Butterfly's copeland the baby could have heart issues. It depends tbh if there is a long history of heart issues in your family then yes and the asthma idk about that

$27,000 is barely minimum wage for 40 hrs per week for a year. 9 months pregnant=24 hours per day for 9 months. Plus being in hard labor... that's not very much money at ALL. The surrogate is getting cheated...
Why your so negative lol
Surrogacy is not just about money and if that is your main focus about prgnancy I feel sorry for your kids.This woman is CLEARLY genuine and doesn't care a whole lot about the amount of money and is just happy that she's blessing a couple with a healthy new born that they themselves CANNOT produce otherwise. You are one negative mother and should try walking in her shoes for a day ma'am.
In California where I'm from, it's about 55,000 in total
I said the same but hey, if she likes it. She may just live in a low cost area. I’m in CA, I’ve seen up to 65k
Normally it's a minimum of 40k. I'm shocked.
This process these women are going through is a beautiful gift for the parents...
They bought it. it isn't a gift
It's an accessory.
When I was like.. 5 or 6 my mom was a surrogate for a Japanese couple, had twins, a boy and a girl. They're still friends to this day, I'm 25. Crazy to think about when I watch this, the family lived here for a while though, and a while after. Interesting to hear numbers and an adult. I do know my parents got paid a lot lot less than now.
HeyImValarie18 amazing, do you ever talk to the boy and the girl now since your mom is still close with the couple (hope you don't mine me just asking this is wonderful your mom is a blessing💕😊)
Wow so you literally came from the same womb as them, you should consider them your siblings
HeyImValarie18 that's amazing I'm about to be a surrogate myself to
I wish cn get some one cn help to carry a pregnancy
@@courtneyhartwick1082 did you have the kid?
$25000 surrogate fee for 9 month is like working 24/7 for only $4 per hour, and thats not even counting the other costs of pregnancy. i guess you really have to enjoy being pregnant to do this kinda work
C XL I was also surprised at the fee. When she asked the amount, I thought must be 40-60 thousand. Shockingly low at around 25000$
That's the base compensation. There's a lot more that goes into it and they end up getting more. However, like they said, it's not a job and if you do it just for money, you're going into it for the wrong reason and most likely you won't pass the initial screenings.
depends on the contract, my cousin tried to have kids for years she couldn't hold the baby. She had 10 miscarriages, they are in asia. They asked me to look around for a place for them in the states since we live here. It ranges from 40-100k to the agency.
Not really, an average american makes 20k or less a year, well depending on where you live. With this yes you do have to do it full time for 9 months however it's different, you can take those 9months off and not work and focus on doing things you like, like reading, watching dramas/tv shows or things that you can do while pregnant and still make money to be able to pay the bills. They also pay more dependong on where you live, and who is the one asking for the baby. There are lots of Rich Chinese couples that do it so their child can be an US & CHINESE citizen, and then later on in life that lets the also become US citizens. Incase you don't know some Chinese wealthy couples have more money than you can imagine so they are willing to pay a lot more.
Becaus legally you can’t buy a baby- she is only being compensated for travel and medical bills.
I really respect people like that but personally I really can't give away a child born after 9 months inside me I just can't
leader girl i agree, i would feel too connected to that child, even if it wasn't genetically mine.
And you would go to jail...
It wouldn't be your kid.
The couple you were carrying for could sue you.
She is saying that she would never do it at all...She wouldn't carry anybody's child because she wouldn't beat to have to give the child away.
leader girl so do i
I would do it to help a couple have their dream family
Im.So.Khou would you help us? We really want children next year.
Im.So.Khou I would also , butt i bet once u give birth u will miss the baby u carried
Spicy Cactus i would but im curretly pregnant
Spicy Cactus I'm curious to know if she ever answered you?
La - Morena you can give the baby to us?😃
Omg-- I've been watching the CZcams channel of this family for just over 6 months and it's crazy to see a CNN video on them from 4 whole years ago! Their channel is called "Crazy Pieces" with 428K subscribers and they now have 11 children (3 biological and 8 adopted)! 💕💕💕
It sounds weird but my fear is becoming pregnant😂
I also think it’s creepy to have a baby growing in your stomach for 9 months
i hope you dont have kids then you should get your tubes tied immediately or hysterectomy
It's normal. There are people who are scared by the idea of being pregnant and it is a real thing.
I was too. I'm happy now with 3 kids. I had those thoughts too when I was around 20. When u find the right man u will wonder about how ur kid would look like maybe not. Leave option open ❤
Me too haha
Being pregnant is ok, to go through labour is unbearable. 😬
I’m 16 and I know I don’t want to have a child when I’m older “naturally”. My parents and friends say I’ll change my mind but I’ve determined I’m going to adopt my kids. Pregnancy in general is something I don’t want to experience, I would consider surrogacy but I don’t see the need in bringing another child in the world when I could adopt an already living child.
Please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
So many people criticize the fact that they spent a lot of money to have a biological child instead of adopting, but their decision should be respected.
Some people dream of having a baby that’s biologically theirs, some dream of adopting a child to love and care for.
When you want a dog, you can adopt or buy one and that choice is respected, so why is it different with a baby?
• Elisa • don't compare animals with humans -_-
Because people are overly sensitive and feel like pressuring everyone to adopt when they would never do it themselves lol
Adoption isn't guarantee you can be denied or the child is out of the system or tranfered.
Also surrogates and the couples do back ground checks and the surrogates have a lot of requirements to meet.
she's such an angel.. the way she smiles when she express how happy she is with her pregnancy is really touching and very sincere.. its really hard to give away a baby you carried for 9 months but I guess, it also makes her happy that she was able to help a couple have their dream family. i respect this woman.
I'm pregnant and the feeling of having a being inside is so amazing. You care for this baby so much. I know this isnt for me but it would be so hard to carry and love this baby that belongs to someone else and the birth day come, and I have to give it away.
Need strong person to do that.
Gladys awww luv great luck good or bad people are still looking out there. Love u God bless
Why don't they just adopt a child, you save a lot of money and help a child who would probably other wise live in unhappy/unstable households
Michelle Rekuc genes
sadly the process of adopting is not easy :(
ji jiji surrogacy means you WILL be a parent, adoption is so unsure.
ji jiji your comment reflects just how little you know about surrogacy. Before the baby is even made there is a lawyer and a legal process to go through. Why are you talking about something you clearly know nothing about? Also in the case of birth defects you can put in the legal agreement that a child with birth defects must be aborted ect ect . The parents have complete legal control, there is no “taking the baby” it’s not yours.
ji jiji What is a heavily pregnant woman going to do run? No. And when she has the baby she would have to go to a hospital. What if the child get sick? Or needs to be enrolled in school? She will turn up eventually. It’s a child NOT a TV - there would be amber alerts PSAs and people looking for them moron. The police would hunt her down. She wouldn’t make it far and statistically, someone running off with a baby they were a surrogate is rare and highly unlikely.
Pregnancy is only enjoyable from the 2nd trimester to like... Half of the third.... Then its like.... Get out of me
I am crap at being pregnant i have 4 of my own but iv had 5 they all made me ill from day one ,Little buggers,i am better at labor only took 45 mins start to finish with my youngest 13 mins in delivery ,
yesterdays memories oh man, so true. I'm 39 weeks and I'm ready!
Yeahh... Not me. I felt like shit from day one to the end. First trimester I couldnt even stay awake for more than 3 hours and extreme nausea. Second trimester was chaos, vomiting, feeling like shit and nausea. Thrid trimester was a lot of painful kicks and punches, nausea, and bloating. I ended with an emergency c section. And now I want more cause my son is too cute.
@@puddles5247 15 min at labour? Dayum thats some hip muscle u got all my aunts took one day (like from night to day and day to night no kidding) to give birth.
They second trimester I ok I can eat again and I'm drinking a lot of water or juice and I'm still thirsty I don't have really any heartburn but my body is in a bit of discomfort
i would do that money for college and to help out the couple blessings
Too bad those cheapskate only give you 3,000 dollars or less
some give $50,000 and fully insurance.
I would do it for the money, I've actually looked into it, but there are a lot of requirements. And most of the time the requirement is that you at least be in your mid 20s, making it impossible unless you started college late or you're a grad student. And personally, I don't think that's enough money, so I'm gonna pass. They also require you to have your own child first, and I don't know very many college students with children. Along with that, you have to be "financially stable" for some odd reason. Too many requirements of college students.
Kirstyn to weed out people doing surrogacy as a “job” to ensure that the potential surrogate can safely and healthfully carry a child to term, to ensure that the parents are not the sole caretaker of the surrogate ( room and board are your own responsibility)
Wow you are ready to do this for college money and look at me I am just wasting my time and my parents money and not studying even I am in college
Wish it was legal in Australia. As I'd love to do this. Carrying a baby for someone. I love my 2 children and loved to give someone else the chance of that happiness with their own children
Crystal Currie It is legal in Australia you're just not allowed to get payed or recieve any kind of gifts for being a gestational carrier.
You can do it for someone you know. It is illegal to charge for surrogacy. I agree with this law as it prevents the exploitation of poor women. It's the different between donating a kidney to your sister versus paying for a kidney (organ trafficking). As soon as you allow people to charge for organs it develops into a dangerous industry hence issues with organ harvesting overseas.
You can't just adopt from China, just like that. They only have special needs toddlers/children available for adoption. At one time they did have a "healthy" infant program, mostly girls, but attitudes in China have changed. Girls are not being abandoned as they were in previous decades. We adopted our son from China in 2006, he was special needs, minor, however many of the children available now have multiple special needs. Many countries have closed their international adoption programs. Adoption is not the same as in the past and it is not quick like they make out on television. It it lengthy. People were waiting up to 7 years to receive a referral from CHina for a non special needs baby girl. We have also adopted from Haiti, and that in itself back in 2003 was a roller coaster. You have to deal with adopting country governments, US state laws and federal laws and extensive paperwork and background checks. So surrogacy for many will give them an easier way to build a family and for many people biological children are important, and that is absolutely normal. Our children are teenagers now and are amazing, so for us it was the right decision.
$27,000 dollars is not enough to carry a child 9 months, which no matter what affects your body. Also it automatically gives the child American citizenship that’s quite convenient
Inspirebymikaeli I would only do it for 100K maybe, I really hate being pregnant and I dont even have symptoms like nausea or vomiting
Again, she’s not in it for the money. I think you missed that part. Yes, you get paid but she didn’t take on the job t get millions. She walked in with the mindset of helping couples expand their families.
If you have an issue with the automatic citizenship why do you go to law school and find a way to change the rules instead of just saying “how convenient”. Do something about it if truly makes you mad and keeps you up at night. Best of luck
I love being a surrogate. I love being pregnant. I feel so much joy, helping couples have a baby.
these women are angels they are trusted with this special gift inside them for 9 months and then they go through so much pain in delivery and they sacrifice so much to give this special gift to a couple that cannot do it on there own I think that is amazing and that these women are amazing they are a gift from God so I want to say to them on behalf of all the women who can't carry a baby on there own THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS FOR ALL THE REST OF YOUR DAYS HERE AND AFTER
margaret Portillo : i don't if i could handle have a child, let alone for some else
i have EDS Hyperrmobility. and a aspie . i don't know if i could handle have a child,.
Life is the greatest gift you can give someone, thank you for sharing.
i would do it for someone but is it wrong if i say i would also have that child in my heart after i give it to its parents?
I don't think so, you raise that baby for 9 months you get connected to it in a way.
Rue Bon I think it would be weird if you didn't! If you carried a baby for 9 months, I would think part of your heart would always be with them, regardless of parentage.
No not at all, you can still feel an emotional attachment to the child and it’s perfectly normal.
@@christinelovesyouX Well said!
First time she was paid 25k, the second time 37.5k. She doesn't know how to negotiate. Actually for a foreigner couple, like Chinese, you can ask for 100-150k USD. It is still very cheap in a Chinese middle class couple's eyes. It is an acceptable price in China. The biological mom can continue to get paycheck and her career won't be compromised during the surrogate pregnancy. not to mention the child was born with an American citizenship automatically. People would like to pay more for that. 25k or 37.5k is too cheap.
I suppose the large part of the payment must have been taken by the middleman.
Mam u r great 3 biological babyand 6 adopted and now u r surrogate it's amazing mam one day u will become god u give so much happiness and hope in the life of those people who r unable to become mother hatts off to u
such a beautiful stunning, and generous woman. she gave people the miracle of creating new lives
I think a surrogate mother is beautiful and strong.
She's a disgusting piece of work. the planet is already overpopulated. Should be sterilized!
I love Lisa Ling
Aww! This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video with us. It's very interesting. I really enjoyed watching this video. You are such an amazing lady. You are doing a great job. I really appreciate your efforts. I hope your journey goes fine till the end. Wishing you good luck.
I give her props but i hate being pregnant
Ladies, have some self respect. Don't be surrogates.
i want to be a surrogate mother too im willing to be a blessings to others to have a baby..🙇♀️🙇♀️
I am looking for sorrogate mother me and my partner want to have one baby i have one daughter and i want to have one more baby,
yes
I’m going to be a surrogate ! I am so excited to start this journey 🎉
I can't imagine how that little girl would feel, never being able to know her biological mother.
What is CRAZY PIECES mom doing here!? 😂
Me personally having pcos I feel like this is amazing and anyone who can and is willing to carry someone else's child should go for it ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
Oh dear! I was diagnosed with pcos too but I still got pregnant! Currently am 8w 4d so 31days left to see my little peanut! 😍 I hope you will be able to get pregnant and experience the Joy's and suffering (haha) of a positive pregnancy test through the nausea, vomiting, fatigue all the way to the birth of your happy and healthy baby!
Amazing to have a baby who grow up in your own womb! It’s miracle!
she has a youtube channel called the 'Crazy Pieces'
I would love to be a surrogate but the sad thing is that I can't even get pregnant yet and someone told me that maybe is because I haven't found the right man.
They obtain US citizenship!
zwnurse2013 yes but they will have to choose later on as China does not allow dual citizenship. It’s more complicated than that. I’ve had a friend be forced back into taking her Chinese one and giving up USA just so she can get her job and be with her family all the time and not having to pay.
I would not choose to live in US ever lol. Europe is so much better.
livii not anymore not anymore
Yea this is shady
may I know if chineese government check? I'm from Malaysia and our government also does not allow dual citizenship, but they don't check your passport. My friend was born in Michigan and use his US passport to go back to US for university. He has both passport.
In 1990, when I was 20 years old, I came very close to being a surrogate for an out of state couple... they were offering $11k, but they were having trouble between themselves with a few other details, so I backed out.
What a great way to make money. And the kid will be a U.S. citizen. Its a win win for all. Congrats.
Surrogate moms are paradise sent. Such kind hearts. Some of the time you can simply embrace however. Appears they simply needed an American. Surrogacy in the US is very costly. Also that there are as yet numerous lawful issues. I lean toward it in my nation as a result of Reasonable costs. No legitimate issues
Only 25 and 27 thousand? That's not enough.
Its so admirable to see woman who love their pregnancy, and I am so glad they are able to do it healthily and happily.
I have hypermesis gravidarum and it makes pregnancy a living nightmare with pregnancy :( and id give anything to have a smooth healthy pregnancy
these ladies are heavenly attendants they are trusted with this uncommon blessing inside them for 9 months and afterward they experience such a great amount of torment in conveyance and they forfeit such a great amount to give this exceptional blessing to a couple that can't do it on there possess I imagine that is astonishing and that these ladies are astounding they are a blessing from God so I need to state to them in the interest of the considerable number of ladies who can't convey a child on there claim Thanks a ton
Thanks so much for this 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Top 3 reasons Chinese parents choose USA surrogacy over surrogacy in Thailand or the Philippines. 1) US citizenship for the child. The belief that USA is paradise on earth makes many people in the developing world dream of living, studying or working in the US. Eventually, the whole family might move to the US and gain US citizenship. 2) Having half white baby. Notice that nearly all the surrogate mothers are white. Most people in Asia, Africa and Latin America have severe inferiority complex towards white people thanks to memories leftover from the colonial era (yes, I know some Latinos are white but most are not).The Chinese, in particular, have acute inferiority complex towards Caucasians. 3) Top medical care. I think rich Chinese moving to the US is far better for the US than poor immigrants who add to the poverty rate. USA should make it easier for rich foreigners to gain US citizenship.
25+k.....is alot of money in a 3rd world country
Omg it's cristal she has a CZcams channel and she adopted two teenagers this year and she was also a surrogate this year again. She was up to adopt a little boy but didn't happen unfortunately. These children are so big now! Some facts she adopted the baby of one of her foster children's sister's to keep them close as the young girl has a mental disability, these two young ladies now live together and crystal has the baby named Aurora who also got the mental disability and her bio mum gets to see her so many times they have a great bond!
The thing about being a surrogate is that sometimes you get attached to the baby because it’s growing inside of you and feel connected to it then you remember it’s not yours which sucks especially when the baby is born you hold it and you get attached which sucks about being a surrogate sometimes
i love this story!
What is it called then when a blood relative carries your child as a surrogate? Because I have seen many families use a relative, the grandma, or a sister.
God bless them!
I love the Crazy Pieces!!!
Wow, women who do this are amazing.
I'm 36weeks rn but I think I'm scarred.. yes scarred as in terrified to be pregnant again. This whole pregnancy has been a nightmare for me. I wouldn't change it for anything tho
My mom was a surrogate to this German couple and she had twins
The parents are dreaming about the American dream lol
Shut up.
This is good that you have decided to advertise yourself. I have had my first surrogacy in Kiev, Ukraine. And now I am thinking of having the second surrogacy procedure probably in South Africa. So with going through with what you provide. I decided to get more information concerning surrogacy in South Africa. Only uncompensated surrogacy is permitted. Although reimbursement for pregnancy-related expenses is required. Additionally, the couple must be legally married and there must be a signed agreement by all parties and the surrogate must become pregnant within 18 months of the signed agreement. All parties should be living in South Africa at the signing of the agreement. And a court in the jurisdiction where the surrogate mother is residing must confirm the agreement. In addition, complete confidentiality must be maintained regarding the best online casino identity of the child born from this agreement.
i don't know why but that's remind me of the handmaid's tale !
I would want to do it but I wouldn't want the scars
This is a very sweet video!
"no that's the christmas gay book" mood
I have a two months old son now and my Virginia and back still hurt from pushing...is like you labor for something but you don't enjoy it not me
Maybe when I’m 30 I might have a child but My opinions on having a child would be adoption or hiring a surrogate because even tho I could probably have kids I just don’t feel comfortable squeezing out a baby
I would have thought the women would be paid more than $25,000. Did anyone else think they would make more money?
This is such an adorable video. You're an inspiring woman, truly. Surrogacy is an amazing procedure to have a baby from. Surrogates deserve appreciation from all of us. Without them, surrogacy isn't possible. May you keep on giving happiness to people like this! Best wishes.
these ladies are heavenly attendants they are trusted with this uncommon blessing inside them for 9 months and afterward they experience such a great amount of torment in conveyance and they forfeit such a great amount to give this exceptional blessing to a couple that can't do it on there possess. They are a blessing from God so I need to state to them in the interest of the considerable number of ladies who can't convey a child on their claim Thanks a ton
Do you know how manny babies in China are thrown away in orphanages or on the street just adopt.
Irrelevant Pepe Well said. Own flesh & blood, as compare to adoption. Sad it's illegal.
Sabrina Adam I think adoption is way better because you're getting those kids off the streets and they're not going from foster home to foster home and they're not being thrown around like trash so please adopt
I'm one of those babies, but honestly it's a choice. Am I grateful for being brought to America from china? Of course! But it's also extremely expensive!!! People don't really take that into mind... there are lawyer fees, adoption fees, and so much more. I was more than $20,000... just to get custody of... that's soooo much money and not everyone has that much to spend upfront. Yeah... I'm adopted, but I still want my own children. My own biological children. And something else people don't really consider is health defeats. A lot of children who are in orphanages have unknown medical histories and that's really dangerous and some people just don't wanna live in the unknown...
talking about fees doesn't make sense... surrogacy services are far more expensive than adoption
Katie that could be entirely true also, but it's also a choice. Adoption isn't for everyone!! Just bc someone can't carry a child of their own shouldn't deny them of having that right to have biological children. We have technology enabling them to have those biological children whereas before that wasn't an option. Let them choose!! That's like telling a couple who are fully capable of having children that's wrong and they should adopt... they have that right to choose where they get their children from...It's a preference.
If i could be a person who could do that for people, i would. I cant, because even though im young, my body isnt. I have one son of my own and if we want another baby, we plan to adopt. I myself was adopted. My parents couldnt have kids, so they adopted me. If i could give people the gift of a baby to someone that couldnt have their own, it would make me so happy. But yeah i cant. I had a hard time just with my own.
I would love to be a surrogate. Trust me, I would. But I could never do it. Even with the mindset of "this isn't my baby" I'd grow too attached.
what honest comments about the relationship between the surrogate and planning parents
love it
I had 3 of my own and carried two as a surrogate for two different families!
One couple is from Germany. They are now 11 and 13 now, both boys.
It was an amazing experience and I am so happy to see these two boys grow up!
Crystal has her own CZcams channel called crazy pieces and I love them great family
I feel like once I have had all of my own children I would love to be a surrogate to at least one family and give them the gift of a child... that is assuming I can actually have kids in the first place
What happened to all the babies who are told they were born by surrogates?
Brendle L Most likely they end up accepting it as part of their lives. Some choose to meet their surrogate mothers and some would consider them as another parent if the circumstances are alright.
They live normal lives
Do they feel comfortable enough to let her babysit?
Imagine when she said it was a girl the dad sent "keep it"
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I thought of that too!!!
How about if u get the DNa of the baby,is it 3kind?
that woman that is sitting on the bench talking to that surrogate mom, looks so familia..is she a celebrity?
I'm probably gonna have to do this for college money plus I'll be helping another couple out I'm just worried they won't want an 18 year old girl carrying a baby
I saw an ad before and it was looking for women age 21-39
Probably since most younger women are not as mentally mature as a 25 year old would be. Not only that but sometimes the mothers have that "I don't want to give this child, it's mine, I am taking you to court even though I signed a form giving up rights to it" and then they have to deal with that. I feel like when you are younger you are more unstable with your feelings and knowing how to control them unlike when you get older and are more experienced. That or due to most younger teen adults (18-19) want to party and still enjoy being young, they don't want to be stuck at home, they want to go out and do things, have sex with different people, experiment and so on.
Yeah, you don't qualify for many reasons
For some couples opting for surrogacy is a very straight forward decision. While, for others there are lots of things to be considered and thought about before taking the decision. There are lots of complex issues involved. It is an emotional roller coaster ride for the couple. The families and friends. It is a decision where the ‘right’ and the ‘wrong’ are very individual things. An infertility specialist or a counselor can help the couple seeing things in the right perspective. Other options such as, adoption or further infertility treatment can also be considered. It is for this reason that many people are opting for surrogacy. But in this case it feels like child trafficking. Most Chinese are doing this for the child to obtain America citizenship. I have been through surrogacy in Kiev, Ukraine and I have never heard of such cases. I hope with time this will be stopped.
So they just want a USA citizen baby
Yeah that's what it sounds like
Janet Rojas I think more like its most beneficial for them in for it to be in America. How many countries allow this? How many countries allow both biological parents (ie the mother who didn't carry the baby) on the birth certificate? Of course the baby being an American citizen is a major bonus but i'm sure if China allowed this as freely as a lot of American states did, the Chinese couple would of just done it in their own country where the surrogate mother would speak the same language, easier to access and visit, etc etc.

The baby is not allowed dual citizenship it’s whole life. China has strict laws so by 18 the baby will have to choose between USA and China. They might even deny the baby Chinese citizenship now and it makes life hell over there.
no they cant have a child

Well, yes! This case is really an amazing example for all of us. We are also going for surrogacy this week at Biotexcom center in Kiev. They have arranged a European surrogate for us, which is really fine for us. So, yeah! That's how it works! Anyway! Thanks for bringing the story to us.
How much is she getting paid for it?
I think it's a little bit weird. But that's just my opinion.
Thank god your opinion doesn't matter for couples who are struggling to make a child or gay/transgender couples. Just because you think its weird. I think your inability to see their side of it is fucking weird :)
Well said my friend, well said. Oh, and my heart aches for couples of any kind who have the pain of not being able to be parents. Please forgive my inability to see clearly and be compassionate.
I suppose, I should have said I think it's complex, complicated, mysterious, scientific, powerful, otherworldly,and sur-real.
I have been called weird myself countless, countless times..
It really hurt in the past..
To be called weird by people constantly.
Yet, you know what? Over the years I came to realize that I fit the orriginal dictionary definition of the word: which is..
One who Ha s the weirding way is one having power over others to be able to garner a reaction, response or reply., The ability to cast spells.
So, later, when people called me weird.. I took took it as an unintended compliment.
It made me feel a little bit better, but ultimately, it still hurt because what I really wanted was for them to just love and accept me as I was, and not call me an insulting word, like weird.
So, therefore, let me take back what I said, for, if I speak, I do not want to say hurtful things..For I Love PEOPLE.
You should you aren't allowed to have an unpopular opinion here on CZcams as you will be immediately ridiculed.
Ibimpjexoxo u are mad for no reason. Trans don't struggle to have kids. They can't.
I would SO do this. To me, I just feel like I’m providing the baby with a little safe haven while they develop. As long as it is not my own egg, I’d totally be up for this. The greatest gift to give someone who isn’t able to carry their own.
Of course
Nowdays CIA is very weak 😅
I would love to be a surrogate for a good family that's not able to have there own child.
Why not adopt? So many children being left behind by irresponsible parents and being put into a systems that often does more bad than good. :(
Im 15 but i have a cousin whos its really hard for his wife to get pregnant ( well not to get pregnant but for the pregnancy to stick) so when im a little older (like 17 or 18) if they still want kids (which they most likely will) i have volunteered to be a sereget for them because then i would be giving up my child to some one ive known my entire life.
