I would rather do surrogacy before adopting. If I can't do it, I'd rather find someone who would do it for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
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!
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.
If it was possible for me to adopt, I probably would, but no one's going to let me adopt.
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'm not opposed to adoption. It's not in my immediate future because I'm on the move a lot and if I were going to be father I would like to be more grounded.
I'm not adopting a baby.
On gay adoption I have changed my mind.
