[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought surrogates were paid around $100,000. Then if you pump, many times you still get paid for the milk ( we knew a couple that did this).

Yes, the money sounds great but every pregnancy has risks, and being a SAHM pregnant is hard. Also, having kids they may not get why you gave your baby away and why their friends mommy had a baby and they got a brother. I don't think it's worth $25,000- once you take out taxes it's not that much money for what a pregnancy entails. Plus, how would medical coverage work? If you have complications later, who pays for it?

Too much to risk IMO if it's purely monetary. [/quote]

A surrogate should certainly be paid and is worth $100,000 but they don't make nearly that much.  The process of using a surrogate costs that much (fertility clinic fees, medicine, lawyers, agencies, travel, health insurance) so perhaps that is where you got the number from. In terms of complications, the contracts are generally written so the intended parents pay for complications for a certain amount of time (but at most I think it's 6 months), so there is certainly a health risk afterwards.[/quote]
