Re: Surrogacy
Hareem, that all depends upon the country where the surrogacy is taking place, the laws that apply in that country, the contract (if any) that is written, signed and understood by all parties prior to the actual undertaking. In most cases in US, there is a very satisfactory ending to the process. I really dont know about other countries and their laws...but if it were nothing but heartache and bad endings...well then it wouldnt be happening as often yeah?
When I was infertile, my SIL bless her heart, told me that if it came down to it that she would bear the child of myself and hubby instead of getting a second wife for him. There have been many cases of a close family member carrying a child for a relative. Those surrogates who are not related at all and who undertake the process as a humanitarian thing...are almost always offered to be a lifelong part of the child's life if they want to be.
I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind. You do indeed have valid points. Yet it isnt all heartache and bad endings either. And I still have yet to see any kind of religious scripture which would make it forbidden. Like I've been saying, its all open to personal interpretation yeah?
