We chose to use a surrogate as the way we wanted to start our family, particularly as I was traveling across the globe on a stressful schedule to get stores open.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My wife and I had been trying a while to have a baby. We tried a bunch of things - so we had a surrogate.
I have many friends who had kids solo, who adopted, who used surrogates - no one was judging them - it's a new world!
There was a friend of ours who worked with a girl who had said she would consider being a surrogate. We met her and right away she was awesome. We were looking for someone who could take care of themselves and it was pretty clear she could.
Right now women are using surrogates because they can't be pregnant. What worries me is the possibility that soon they'll use surrogates because they don't want to be pregnant.
I would rather do surrogacy before adopting. If I can't do it, I'd rather find someone who would do it for me.
Surrogate motherhood has been the subject of much philosophical and political dispute over the years.
Surrogacy used to be difficult, because the woman that was carrying the child was biologically related to the child. And sometimes you can still do it that way, but you do not have to do it that way anymore.
Patients' lives are more important than embryos. I do want to avoid the use of embryos if possible.
I'm at that point in my life where I definitely want to get married soon. I've got my dogs as surrogates, but I'm ready for kids.
There is no way now to get around some use of embryos. But my goal is to avoid using them.
