Surrogacy and Egg Donation Q and A


Surrogate Mothers Online Q & A
  • Q & A: Telling Others

    Topics may include explaining surrogacy or egg donation to children, who to share the news with, dealing with those who disapprove, etc.

    1. Hi, I was wondering if you can help me. I need to tell my mother that I'm going to be a GS. I had talked to her aboutit it, but, she was against it. She said that she thought I was in it for the money. I'm not just doing this for the money. I don't see anything wrong with helping someone achieve their dream of becoming a parent when along the way they will also be helpign me out, by compensating me. That compensation will help my family just like I'm helping a couple with their family. Do you feel that this is wrong? Well I have already made arrangements with a couple and I don't know how to tell her. Any advice would help please!!!! - Emily in IN - Top

    Emily,

    Hi! I am a fellow Hoosier!!!

    I would just talk about the human aspects and not the money if it comes up, say it's not about the money and we're getting nothing in comparision to what the family is getting.
