[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more concerned about the women who agree to do it. Having a baby for money seems
 like a character flaw. I don’t know if I’d be able to trust someone like that to care for my child during pregnancy. I’d want to monitor everything but then that feels inhumane, this person is just a vessel that I’m paying to fulfill my need.[/quote]

I actually totally get why women do it. I had a terrible pregnancy but some women just have really easy and uncomplicated pregnancies. And even with my awful pregnancy I still liked the feeling of being pregnant and was so amazed at what my body was able to do. Obviously the childbirth is the hard part but I again if your body handles pregnancies and childbirth well and you have a history of recovering well it is awesome that a human body can do that and I remember feeling proud of myself after giving birth in a way I had not felt before.

I met a woman with a surrogate pregnancy a few years ago through one of my DC's activities (her DC was in the same one). She was open about it because people kept congratulating her on the pregnancy and she didn't want people being worried or confused when she didn't show up with another child after it was over. She told me that while money had been a factor (what she earned went straight into a college account for her kid) the reason she'd become interested in it was that she and her husband knew they were one and done for themselves but she was really sad not to be able to go through pregnancy again. This was a way fo rher to experience that again while also helping another family and without expanding their family more than they wanted. She was young and in great health and had an easy pregnancy. I think before I met her I also kind of thought "why would anyone do that" (though less judgmental than you) and now I get it. I no longer think it's that weird at all even if it's something I'd personally never do because pregnancy is really hard for me.[/quote]
