Have I Got A Deal For You!
As I was doing my weekly Internet browse of the surrogacy world, I ran across a surrogacy website/advertisement targeting women who have no physical limitations to prevent them from having babies. Specifically, it pointed out that it is a great idea to have a baby via surrogacy to avoid job-related complications, to eliminate the physical discomfort of pregnancy, and to maintain one's sleek figure. The words "Have we got a deal for you!" was even used. I was a little shocked to be honest. I don't have any problem with the idea of surrogacy in the least, but the wording and blunt commercialism of this site threw me off. Am I being too old fashioned that this site shocked me? I thought for a minute that I was being sold a ped-egg or a sham-wow or something...
So, two parts to this one:
-Was the line crossed?
-Is it okay for people to have a baby via surrogacy just to keep a trim figure and a busy career afloat?
(And thank you all for your patience with my Internet issues this week. I was reading your messages and posts, but was too impatient to actually post much using an iphone...my fingers were not cooperating!)

It makes me wonder if they will administer the proper time to raise a child. The point of parenting is to put perspective on LIFE, not just get what everyone has just to have it. It really frustrates me when people who have the ability to conceive, choose vanity over all. I fear children in this environment will lack the ability to be confident and/or loved.

Jenn - I totally agree with everything you said. I want to be give birth for a couple that cannot conceive together.
One thing for sure, the "ad" says the surrogate would get upwards of $18K. I know I'd charge upwards of $50K in that situation.

I agree. Parenting is a huge life change. If you can't deal with pregnancy and maintain your working lifestyle, then you wouldn't be able to handle having a baby who needs you all the time. Pregnancy was easy for me. Having a baby waking up all the time, changing diapers, clothes, etc. and being completely exhausted all the time was the hard part.

I personally don't care one way or the other why one chooses surrogacy - it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be infertility-related or absent-uterus related.
