He was probably a homo, it's very fashionable in the homo culture to do that nowadays and I think it's a shame
Well, I will certainly keep in mind to ask you (the resident expert) any questions that come to mind about "the homo culture".
You should pick up a bible sometime, it might be enlightening to actually read what it says without just cherry picking out the parts involving whom to hate and despise.
When my Brother and SIL were having trouble conceiving, my wife offered to help. However, their marriage became really shaky and they eventually divorced.
I worked at a courthouse and this very attractive woman coworker turned out to be a surrogate - she was married with three kids - she told other coworkers that she had been a surrogate a couple of times before. Well, she got pregnant again (being the surrogate) and had to leave work for doctor's appointments for pregnancy checkups. It became a "scandal" at work (well, none of us had ever known anyone who had ever done this - it was all brand new to me, at least). I guess the administrators of the courthouse were livid she was doing this, getting money from this second source of income and taking time off (at the end, she was missing a lot of time off work). Anyway, they found out after scrutinizing her work application that she was not an American citizen (she was born in New Zealand and never became naturalized) so they fired her.
Myself, I would not want to be a surrogate, but I guess she helped someone else become a mother.
I was a surrogate mom for the boy that became my godson. It was hard to let him go to his parents, even though I know that aside from my parents they are the best parents I've ever known. They have an older son, and due to some complications during his birth, she couldn't have any more kids, and they wanted at least 2.
As hard as it was, I'm also glad that I was able to do it for them. The little boy has a special place in my heart and I get to watch him grow up, without the financial responsibility of being his parent!
But, I'd have to think long and hard about doing it again. Being pregnant without the FUN part of getting pregnant is just so clinical. I wouldn't do it for just anyone. The next baby I have is going to be mine and I'm going to get to raise him/her and love them!!! But that is at least a few years off, I'm not quite ready to be a Mom yet.
I haven't been asked, but I know a couple in Long Beach, CA that keeps getting screwed financially by scams from potential surrogates through a reputable matching site. They have lost much money. Pretty sad, they are such a great couple and would make such outstanding parents.
I have had three kids with no trouble at all getting pregnant ... I'm about as fertile as they get. I'd probably make a good surrogate, but I know I'd get too attached to the baby. Several years ago, I made an offhand comment that I could only do that for my sister or my best girlfriend if they asked me, but no one else. Since then, both of them have had a baby of their own, each with complications. My friend will never risk having another baby--hers was very premature and will have developmental issues for life--and my sister found out she has a malformed uterus and has a high risk of miscarriage and premature labor. Sis didn't find this out until she was pregnant and might never risk having another baby.
It just feels odd that I made that comment years ago and might possibly fulfill it someday. I don't think my friend wants another child, having so many issues with her daughter, but my sister does. I don't enjoy being pregnant, but I'd do it for her if asked. My body is a baby machine.
Yes, but I turned them down because I'd already had two c-sections, and I would had to have another with a third baby. You can only have so many c-sections safely. We were not sure at the time if we'd have another child again some day---we didn't plan on it, but we weren't positive about it. As it turned out I did get pregnant several years later, quite by accident, so for us it was the right decision.
Sadly, less than a year after turning the couple down, the husband committed suicide. He was a close friend of ours.
My sister asked me about 14 years ago and the answer was no.
