My wife and I had been trying a while to have a baby. We tried a bunch of things - so we had a surrogate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
I have many friends who had kids solo, who adopted, who used surrogates - no one was judging them - it's a new world!
I'd been trying for all of the eight years we'd been married to have a child, and finally I did.
I honestly never had the biological need to reproduce until I met my husband. But by the same token, even if we were unsuccessful, we were totally okay with adopting.
I would rather do surrogacy before adopting. If I can't do it, I'd rather find someone who would do it for me.
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.
My wife and I have never been able to have kids of our own. Physically, it's impossible. The doctor checked. So we tend to unofficially adopt lots of twenty-somethings. I have a real soft spot in my heart for youth.
I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old - I'm destined to be a mother.
I was 47 when I got pregnant. I'd been trying for a couple of years and thought it would never happen.
