Since we are talking about other blogs that inspire a post I will point to Xbox4NappyRash: The seventh sense in which he talks about developing a 7th sense - the ability to see infertile people. I got it a little different - I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children. When I was a small child I would go to the beach and see other small children. Others like me to play with in the sand. Then as I got a little bit older I became interested in the basketball court near the beach and was aware of the other basketball players that where on the court. As a got still older, I became aware of the girls in the bikini's at the beach. All of a sudden they were everywhere - and they were the only ones on the beach. Recently, when I go to the beach I see Pregnant Women....And Small Children all over the place. I constantly have to work hard not to step on them as they play in the surf. These young families are new to the beach. They have never been there before now - yet now they are all of the...
I just got listed as a new blog by Mel at Lost and Found and Connections Abound. For those of you coming to my site for the first time here is a quick summary. I am an Intended father writing about surrogacy from the straight males perspective. It seems weird to need to add the word straight when describing myself, but all the male blogs that I can find on Surrogacy seem to be from a gay males perspective. Christy and I have been working on the baby project for around 2 years with many highs and lows. We are currently building our team for a new run. This time around we expect to have two surrogates at the same time which will help make it an exciting ride for everyone. This is the background for our story. Please read some of my posts and feel free to ask me some questions.
When the Intended parent and Surrogate get involved in the process they normally hear two entirely different comments from friends, family, and strangers. The Surrogates hear: Your going to build a family for someone. Your going to give the gift of life. You are so special for doing that for someone. And you get paid - what a bonus. The Intended Parents hear: Isn't that expensive? How are you coming up with the money? It seems so unnatural does it really work? Do you really need more children? Why don't you adopt? What is so important about your DNA? Is she going to keep the baby? The baby is not really yours. Aren't you playing God? Some people just aren't supposed to have children. Aren't you worried about the surrogate doing drugs? Aren't you just using some poor women? Aren't you being selfish? Maybe, you should just get a puppy. That will cure everything. I am sure that I have missed a bunch. Please add your thoughts in the comment section.
