I was able to have my own kids but if I wasn't and a friend of mine offered I would feel so blessed. I would honestly probably take her up on her offer after lots of conversations and meeting with a lawyer. Talk about an offer made out of love! Like was mentioned above, the risks to a healthy woman having a baby in this day and age are so small. Would you feel worried about your friend if she was pregnant with her own child? Probably not I would guess. You would be happy and excited with her. <br><br>What do you think could go wrong Sue? It isn't like you are asking her to do something inherently dangerous. It is a normal and natural process the body knows how to go through. And she offered - nobody asked her.<br><br>My only health stipulation would be that my friend had already given birth to at least 1 child and had a normal healthy pregnancy and an uneventful birth.<br><br>I have an acquaintance who was a surrogate to a gay couple. She went through an agency and it all worked out for her. Though she said she probably would not do it again it was a nice experience. She did not mind being pregnant and wanted to make some extra money since she was a single mom at the time. <br>

My family had a book when I was growing up called the Book of Questions. In there was a situation: "if you had the power to prevent one of the following, which would you choose? An earthquake in Peru that kills 30,000, an airplane crash of a flight from your hometown that kills 250, or a car accident the kills 5 of your closest friends/family." It was a very hard question. </end quote></div><br><br>I just had to comment on this - that is not a real life situation and not something that we would ever have to deal with.  It is a hard question because it is implausible.  Just like asking a parent which child they would choose.  Just not even going to give it my time in thought.<br>

Many things can go wrong during pregnancy, big and small things. I guess if my friend was done having kids then I would consider it but I just would not want to risk it if she still wanted more kids. I am apparently in the minority, which is fine. You have to do what is right for you. I just don't think I was being callous or negative.

I don't think you were being callous and of course you should do what you are comfortable with!! I would never say you should take up your friend's offer just because I would. I wish you luck on your journey for kids <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
