Surrogate motherhood

I’ve decided to be a surrogate mother for my gay friend, (who is a brother to me. I mean… we’ve been friends since we were 7),and his husband. We’ve talked about it over the last 10 years. When we were both 15, we decided when he graduated from college, he’d like to have kids. I suggested I carry his baby.He loved the idea.

I’ve brought it up to my husband And he disapproved. He will not let me carry his child. I’ve already had a baby with my husband, and we are very stable. I thought this would be a good experience. for all of us.

But if he wont let me do it. What should I say to him? we are all mature adults. and need to bring it up maturely.

Is there any way to do it? Or do I just do it…

Personally, I love the idea of being a surrogate mother and I think that you’d be doing it for a wonderful reason. A person should only be a surrogate if they’ve had a child before and are in a stable relationship…you seem like a great person to do this for your friend. Why doesn’t your husband want you to do this?…I can understand that it would be very strange for him but he has to realize that you are not having intimate relations with your friend and you are not trying to be or expected to be the mother to this baby.

I think you need to just sit down with your husband first and explain all the in’s and out’s of how the surrogacy process works to him. Find out what exactly he finds so upsetting about the idea and genuinely listen to him and take his opinion into consideration…you may lose the bond with your husband if you don’t.

DO NOT JUST DO IT! that would honestly be the worst thing you could do. I know your friend would be happy but you’ve really gotta think about how this would affect your own family. Your husband would feel like you cheated…and he’s the one that’ll have to go through a lot of the pregnancy things with you and he may not be willing to do that for the sake of another man’s child. And what would you tell your own child? That could be a very confusing situation for them…

Anyways though, I hope I helped a little bit and good luck with everything!
