Comment: Just wonderring if Jennifer Cantor is married??? She looks to be quite a catch for sure!! What a wonderful thing to do. She MUST have a heart of Gold and I live in Alabama also. I WOULD LOVE to meet her! She seems quite awesome!! Thanks. Jeff C in Cahaba Heights
Comment: im a surrogate child! im 15 now too. i love my surrogate mom. she lives in california and i live in north carolina. but we are still connected and i love it!
Comment: I am so happy to see that you are still in touch. I will hopefully be a surrogate in a couple months for an amazing couple I have come to know. I hope we stay in contact like you have.
Comment: My husband and I had a difficult time trying to have a child because of difficulty with my eggs. We were extremely lucky and we were able to have twins with IVF. My sister has had repeated miscarriages and I am now a surrogate for her and her husband (they are the biological parents). I am now 6 months pregnant with their child. I have lived through the heartbreak of infertility and I am grateful that my sister and brother in law are able to have this chance. I am so excited for them that in another few months they will be holding their baby. Good luck to people out their trying to have a baby and to the surrogates who are willing to help make dreams come true.
Comment: My daughter Stephanie was a surrogate parent and now owns her own agency, Simple Surrogacy. When Stephanie first broached the subject of being a surrogate parent, I was more than a little apprehensive. Though she thrived upon the knowledge that she was going to be personally responsible for another couple's happiness, her experience with the agency she was with was a nightmare. I have since watched my daughter establish her own agency. Her pleasure in assisting others in realizing their dream of having children has made her own life a constant joy. Stephanie is one of the rare agency owners that actually WORKS for the surrogate and intented parents. I hear her on the phone with her clients at all hours of the day and night, consoling, laughing with, and generally being a friend to all of them. Her agency might as well be a non-profit organization....she puts in her whole heart and receives just enough compensation to live on. Stephanie has advised me that it never will be the money. She lives for that good feeling she gets when dreams are made.
Comment: What a balanced article on surrogates and why they carry a child for someone else. I personally know two of these women as I own a surrogacy agency and I am an attorney working in the field. It is not for every woman, but the women who do this are amazing. I know. I wouldn't have my two children without one.
Comment: I have not ruled out an agency there are some attorneys that do the same thing agencies do. It's been my experience that when you work with an attorney versus an agency it's more one on one seems you avoid a lot of hassle, but all agencies I'm sure are different
Comment: I'm 29 mother of 1
Comment: I am 29 mother of 1 and have placed 2 of my own children for adoption with wonderful couples in Texas. I've been doing some research checked into a few agencies I would like to facilitate a relationship on my own then go through an agency still doing research on that agencies usually (with adoption anyway) are money pits my e-mail is ashley.epley@sbcglobal.net
Comment: Yes, Yes you can! GESTATIONAL surrogates use the IPs egg/sperm, and CAN have their tubes tied, since they are impregnated by IVF. (Traditional surrogates cannot have their tubes tied, unless they are TS via IVF, doing the egg donation and then impregnation by IVF)
Please go to SMO or AAS and ask all your questions, you will learn so much! (That goes for ALL of you who want to be surrogates or just have questions!)
Comment: I would love to be a surrogate. I never knew how to find a company that needs surrogates. I have had my own children and am in school to be a chemist. I also won beauty pageants and would love for others to experience the joy of parenthood. k.elli.g@hotmail.com
Comment: The gift of a child to someone that can't carry one is truly a precious thing. It's easy to say that people should adopt, and for some people that is a viable choice. The reality is that there are people who don't want that. They want a baby that is truly theirs and they should be able to make that choice. Personally, I couldn't carry a baby that wasn't mine, but I think that it is wonderful that couples struggling with infertility and same sex couples have that choice.
Comment: I don't like the idea of surrogates because the baby that you are having still is a part of you and something that you've build inside. It's like if you're giving birth to your child and giving it away. why would you want to give something up that's build up inside you and that's a part of you. I will feel so guilty and bad if i gave my own child away because of a little bit of money. I'm sorry, no amount of money will make me give something that i carried around for 9 months and gave birth to away something that's build up inside you is PRICELESS. If a couple can't have kids they should adopt kids who need a home who are placed in foster homes or whose parents left them behind. If you want to help someone, why don't you refer them to an adoption agency.
Comment: Why don't you share your story with us about adoption? It is always heartening for those of us who have run into roadblocks along the adoption path to hear from people like yourself who have opened your home to a needy child and who have had success in the adoption process. Thank you for your unselfish generosity toward others and providing a home for the children about whom you are so concerned.
Comment: That is why you are not a surrogate. Not all people can do it, and that is fine. There are many women, myself included, that can do it, and have a great deal of pride about what they have done. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we should each respect what others' opinions are.
Comment: Many, if not most, surrogates are not egg donors. They have a fertilized egg placed inside them and they carry the child to term. It is different than what you are thinking. Not that you still wouldn't have some attachment - but it is not your biological child.
Comment: I believe that surrgancy is one of the more beautiful things in life. I myself am a young mother, i would love to be a surrogate mother. I loved being pregnant and miss it. I look forward to having more children in the future, but would also like to help others out in the process of making my own famly.
Comment: I would love to talk to you. My husband and I have been trying for 10 yrs, been on clomid for 6 months and nothing. I cannot see myself without a child!

Comment: I'm a gay man of 31yrs and been with my partner now for just over 4yrs. We currently live in Europe but we have just purchased a home on the Island of Forianopolis, Brazil. We have chosen this location to buy a home as it's my partners birth place and this is where we'd love to raise our family. Even though I'm an Australian boy, another beautiful country we choose Florianopolis for many other reasons to raise our family.
Now this is my question.... My partner and I have the eggs in which we'd both fertilise either hoping for twins or trying again for a second child next time round. How do we go about finding a lady that will be our surrogate mother???
please email me if you have any infomation in regards to my question, quinneyk76@yahoo.com
Kindest regards;
Kenneth
Comment: I would be very interested in helping you and your partner create your own family. I myself have a family of three. I have three smart, beautiful, and healthy children. You can e-mail me @ nfranqu@yahoo.com
Good luck 2u&yours. Nancy
Comment: I suggest looking in Center for surrogate parenting. They are the most reputable agency in the world. www.creatingfamilies.com
Comment: I WOULD LIKE MORE DETAILS ON HOW SURROGATE PARENTING WORKS. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 VERY HEALTH, SMART , BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. I WOULD LOVE TO HELP MAKE A HAPPY FAMILY FOR U AND YOUR PARTNER.nfranqu@yahoo.com
Comment: I'm a pretty open-minded person(most of the time)doing some research into agencies I like to know exactly what I'm getting myself into and every possible way in can be done. You guys seem pretty outgoing(Brazil!!) love it! Have a couple of friends in Oklahoma form Brazil.ashley.epley@sbcglobal.net would like to know exactly where you are in this process.
Comment: This is wonderful for all those couples that cannot conceive a child. I totally understand! It took me 12 years (after one miscarriage) to have my first child - I had all but given up. I have 3 beautiful healthy children now between 13 & 17. I had my tubes tied after the 3rd child - something I regretted for many years. I wanted to be a surrogate for a friend who was unable to conceive. I so wish I had done that.
Don't listen to the naysayers. If it is something you are willing to do or something you are blessed to receive - go for it!
Comment: I applaud these woman and their courages act of love. Being a woman who went through 9 years of trying to have a child and never succeding, and losing my husband through divorce because of this has left me with an ache that will never heal. Surrogacy was not an option because of our declining marriage, and I have since learned to accept my fate. Bravo to you all for giving these familes a child (or two :) )
Comment: How old do you have to be to become a surrogate mother. I am rather young, but I have always wanted to be able to help families who are not able to bear their own children. I am also in need of money in order to start my own business. Please et me know! Thank you.
Comment: Hi! My name is Kelly, I am interested in being a surrogate mother, (I am a mother of one), please email me at JossieJem@msn.com
Comment: will you email me at lw54544@gmail.com and lets talk
Comment: if you have any ideas for me please email me at eeyoreears@hotmail.com
Comment: I think what these surrogate do is amazing. I myself would be interested in using a surrogate but dont know how much it is. I have no children and had cancer at age 25 and then tried fertility treatment 7 rounds of it before they found severe endometriosis a few years ago for which I had surgery. I am 43 and my husband is only 36 we would love to have children. Two thumbs up to those who have helped others.. I admire you.

Comment: I think surrogacy is a wonderful gift. When I was able to bear children I often contemplated giving couples the gift of life. Now that I have had a hysterectomy, I have finally met the man of my dreams. He is a wonderful step-father to my son & daughter children but he would love to have a son of his own. Of course, without having thousands of dollars, I'm sure I won't be able to fulfill his dream. If anyone out there is interested in giving my husband his & my wish without totaling bankrupting us, please contact me at jmshelor@yahoo.com. By the way, I was adopted at 5 days old so I know what it's like to be raised by two people whom I was the answer to their prayers!
Comment: I have always wanted to be a surrogate mother. Is there an organization that helps with this process?
Comment: If you are interested in talking to me about being our surrogate, please email me at jmshelor@yahoo.com. My comment is above yours "janmort". Thank you!!
Comment: I used West Coast Surrogacy in California
Comment: My surrobabies will be 18 months old soon. I'm a single mom with two children of my own. I was paired with a couple who had frozen embies but the mom had had a hysterectomy. Now they have a beautiful set of twins and we've become great friends. It seems cliche to say but it was such an amazing experience. My children (6 and 2 at the time) embraced the idea that God asked our family to help with a miracle.
Comment: I am in complete agreement with these women who want to give someone the gift of a biological child. I've thought about being a surrogate because I truly believe that is the most amazing thing you could ever give and the most fulfulling accomplishment in a lifetime. I have two beautiful girls and would love to be pregnant again to feel a human being inside again without having to raise another child. I'd be interested in any information on surrogacy agencies. Kudos to those brave women who have already done this.

Comment: I have been an egg donor and a surrogate mother. I delivered twin boys 2 1/2 years ago. If you are interested you are free to email me and I would give you any information you want. I worked with Center for surrogate Parenting. They are the most amazing and reputable agency in the world. My email is slothslady@msn.com
Comment: i suppose the military is paying the medical expences with my tax money
Comment: You need to learn about the process before you give your opinion. What an Ignorant comment, and I don't think you know anything about Autistic Children, you are also a cruel individual. I would not be surprised to learn that you live alone and more likely have no friends.
Comment: The intended parents pay all medical expenses.
Comment: Sorry, but I think you should be able to spell SURROGATE if you want to be one. And saying that you "love being prego" isn't exactly the most tactful comment. Yikes, I'd be scared of surrogacy by reading these comments. Luckily, it sounds like most people are smart enough to go through an agency to find a surrogate. Not someone who just loves to be prego and wants to be a "suriget".

couldn't have said it better myself, no matter what side your on!!
Comment: Hi!!! If you can send this message to some of teh surrogates mothers I would appreciate it.
I'm a college student in Iowa and I don't produce growth hormones, meaning that I can't have my own children. I'm currently 19 years old, and as time goes by I think about the dream I have of becoming a mother and the fact that it won't be able to come true. But I see these women becoming surrogates and it gives me hope that I will be able to have children and that a women like one of these will be carrying him or her.
Thanks again for all that you are doing for families all through out the world. I hope that when I am ready to have children that I will be able to find out a surrogate mother.
Comment: If possible, can you relay message to Trisha Turner and all the other surrogates featured here. I just wanted to say "thank you" for the great act of kindness that you have blessed these families with. Unless you are a couple who is unable to conceive, it is hard to put into words how devestating this issue can become for a relationship. Fortunately for my husband and I, our marriage withstood the heartache for the past 19 years.
My first pregnancy was when I was 19 and had three others into my early thirties, but all resulted in ectopic pregnancies and eventually cost me both of my tubes and full hysterectomy. We have no children and always dreamed of at least one child. Our biggest problem was the $20K-$25K for surrogate and donor egg as I could not contribute even the egg(s) at this point. We hope to be able to afford this in the near future. Unfortunately for people in our situation, you need the funds for the child to be conceived as well as after the birth and years to come.
In any case, I just wanted to thank you for being the person(s) that make dreams come true and pray that God blesses you in return. You are truly a blessing.

Comment: My best regards and salutation to all these and other surrogate mothers ............. they really did something beyond any appreciation. Deep in my heart I do feel the trauma hidden in the pleasure they would be having while returning the babies for whom they were born. Nobody could ever even imagine the pain a mother could have in giving up what she had kept in her womb for nine precious months. Whatever the reason or motive behind doing so, by such an act these women have shown the mercy God has bestowed within them. God bless you.
Comment: my son was born not too long ago and i was in love with being pregnant . ive been thinking about becoming a surrigate mother for my sister and my cousin because they cant concieve any of their own due to medical problems.and your right proudmomof5 children are gifts from above. my son wasnt planned and the two months of life has been givving me joy. i only can pray that my sister can experience the joy of having herfirst one day and my cousin her second
Comment: Hi im willing to be a surragate mother for a family that whats children, u can reach me at regina_maire@yahoo.com
Comment: How do I find a surrogate mother. I am intrested in using one since I cannot have children due to medical reasons.-Texan1993
Comment: I used an agency. I truly recommend using one as it places a third party into the relationship to handle anything that would be uncomfortable (discussing money, appropriate behaviors, etc.) and they match surrogates with intended parenbts who want similar relationships (for example do you want to become friends or hand over the baby and leave?) I'm going to name-drop here: West Coast Surrogacy in California.
Comment: Hi, I would love to be a suragate mother for anyone that wants to children, i have one son, and i miss being prego, I want to help family like me, I have one child and would like a little girls and a boy with my husband, he is willing to back me up on it to help a family.
Comment: It is good to see that true women are wanting to help women who can't have babies for medical reasons or whatever. It breaks my heart that women or men who criticize with ugly remarks because there are women who can't have babies due to doctors mistakes. Now ho w do you react for them wanting to have a surrogate mother. I have to wonder why for money when the people are hurting already. Come on women this is life not a casino...BE A LIFE GIVER for what it is to help out of in love for them. We women got to stick together.
Comment: Hi...I am not sure who will be receiving this email but..."IF IT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE TO RELAY A MESSAGE TO DAWNE DILL one of your featured surrogate mothers...I read that she has an autistic son and I just wanted to offer her some possible useful information concerning Autism if she is interested...Please let her know she can Google - CLAY BATHS...There is a wealth of information on these websites.

Comment: you think breeding autstic children is a good thing?
Comment: You are a very ignorant person, however since you are a taxed out retired person, now you can further your education. Learn what autism is and what causes it , certainly not the parents.
Comment: "Taxed out of retirement" - You obviously do not get it. WANTING to love a child no matter what...
Comment: A child is truly a gift and I have always wanted to be a surrogate mother so that I can give that joy to someone else. I am a mother of 5 wonderful healthy children ranging in ages from 16 to 3 and each one of them is unique and special. Giving the gift of life is something that is truly a joy and blessing. Way to go Ladies! I think you are all wonderful and your receiving families are so lucky!
Comment: I think that's great.I'am 52 and have no children. I always watched other kids. I would of loved having a baby. Sometimes things just don't work out for us the way we thinkg it should. I have been happly married to a great man. He had 3 wonderful kids. Now I'am a grandmother of 8. I think all you Ladies are great for doing this. Baby's are gods gift to us. God Bless each and everyone of you.
Comment: I think that being a surrogate mother is wonderful. I have even considered becoming one myself!
Comment: BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR KIDS OF MY OWN TWO BOYS AND TWO GIRLS, SO TO ABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE FEEL THE JOY I FELT AFTER SEE MY KIDS WHEN THEY WERE BORN WOULD BE WONDERFUL
Comment: I noticed that almost all but maybe 2 of these women were married to servicemen. Are we not paying our military enough to risk their lives for us? Now their wives have to have babies for money??
Comment: I WON'T MIND BEING A SURROGATE MOM
Comment: I AM LOOKING FOR A SURROGATE MOM. HOW DO I GO ABOUT FINDING ONE? I AM A 33 YEAR OLD AND CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE OF MEDICAL REASONS.-Texan1993@hotmail.com
Comment: I am 29 mother of 1 and have placed 2 children of my own for adoption. I've just started talking and looking into several agencies have not been mathced yet. I live in Oklahoma the children I've placed for adoption are with great couples both from Lubbock. My e-mail is ashley.epley@sbcglobal.net. I would like to try to facilitate a relationship on my own and then work with an agency or possibly just go through an attorney I'm still looking into it.
Comment: I HIGHLY recommend using an agency. I used Center for Surrogate Parenting. There are a lot of factors that you will never think of. Agencies really look out for the surrogate as well as the intended parent, and act as a mediator between the two when necessary.
Comment: I am 29 mother of 1 and have placed 2 of my own children for adption with wonderful couples in Lubbock I'm just starting the process with several agencies, getting my feet wet. I have not been matched with a couple yet but hope to find a couple that will love their child as much as the couples I've placed my children with my e-mail is ashley.epley@sbcglobal.net
Comment: I THINK BEING A SURROGATE MOM CAN BE A WONDERFUL THING
Comment: well,it is a good thing ,but if they are going to be inseminated ,they may as well ,have it done through the natural process of having sex together.
Comment: Who should be having sex? Clearly the intended parents have tried that and it has not worked for them, but there is viable egg and sperm from the intended parents that are fertilized and then implanted into the surrogate, it is not the surrpgates egg
Comment: Why?
Comment: I THINK THIS IS GREAT BUT I WONDER IF THE SURROGATE MOTHERS GET TO ATTACH TO THE BABIES THAT THEY ARE CARRYING, AND HOW DO THEY DEAL WITH IT. WELL I WON'T MIND BEING A SUROGATE MOM
Comment: What a wonderful thing to give someone! I was a surrogate 2 1/2 yrs ago and delivered triplets to a very loving family. it can be difficult but very rewarding, Great Job!
Comment: This is one of the most amazing things a human being can do for another (though I know there are cynics out there who don't see it that way). I saw a woman who was 5 months pregnant with a child for a couple who had experienced repeated miscarriages. It was quite moving, to say the least, to see this woman with this life being brought to a couple who had otherwise had lost hope, and had lived through very heartbreaking lost pregnancies. Beautiful!
Comment: Oh my have the times changed..Pregnant in 1971 @ 16 yrs. and the Social Worker @ Florence Crittendon Home was making me fee guilty for Not giving up my son to a better family..and you all do this for $$..Awesome thinking..Damn, in my day I could produced a kingdom...
See you all in 20 years with all the "explanations" of WHY
Comment: Dear Infertitlity,
I was born in 1968, and all I wanted was to be a mother, adopt a needy child, and be a surrogate. I was married and before I got married we discuss my wants along with his. We agreed. This was something that we both wanted to do. Unfortunantly, we sucessed in one of our three goals. We had 4 healthy children, couldn't afford to adopt, and never was a surrogate. In 1998 I had my tubes tied. This however did not stop me from wanting to help another family out. I never thought of money, just the joy we could bring to another family. So I totally recent the feeling that I get from your posting. Family is not a money thing or how could I, myself, profit. Family and the gift of life is precious. I don't know alot about surrogates but I would like to know if anyone know if it is at all possible to still carry a child without being the biological parents, their egg & their sperm.
Comment: Sorry folks made you feel guilty. Perhaps you should consider doing unto others as you would have had them do unto you when people were judging you.
