I am looking for possible surrogates....?

Question

I have tried searching the web, but most women wants between 18,000 and 40,000 dollars. I cannot afford that. I am only 18 years old, and once someone hears that, I am turned down. I work part time. I grew up raising family's kids. I love children, and I just want to be a mother. If anyone has any information, or somewhere I could look to find a surrogate (any age/race) please let me know.

(This post is not a debate, and I would rather not have answers from people who want to tell me how hard parenting is, and how it is different from helping some one else raise their child, I know. Thank you)

Answer 1

I'm not going to lecture you, however.. I wonder what your hurry is if you're sure you want to go the surrogate route.

Why not wait a few years, get an education, and make sure you'll be able to take care of a child once you have it first? By then.. no one will turn you down based on age.

Besides, if you can't afford the 18-40k fees they're asking for, then chances are... you won't be able to afford raising a child. As they ARE even more expensive once they're actually here. Take your time girl. You'll be a mother when the time is right.

****This posting of yours may not be a debate, but after reading what I have read here on your behalf, I hope like heck they screen prospective parents psychologically before allowing them to go through with signing contracts with surrogate mothers.

Answer 2

The base compensation is the 18-30K, that does not include the travel, the medication, screening and agency fees.  My gf owns an agency and she is able to assist you with whatever budget you are on.  Email me if you are interested.  There are many surrogates, actually, one in particular who is located in West Texas who will lower her fee for you, however, you have to contact the agency for details.  

Answer 3

I am sorry if you want a surrogate because you cant have children. My aunt could never have children. She adopted two kids eventually after becoming a millionaire. I think you could maybe ask someone who is able to have kids but done having their own children. I think someone who is close enough to you would do anything for you! My mom wanted to carry my aunt's baby, but she could only have two biological kids herself. She had many miscarriages. I am sure if she could, she would have had a baby for my aunt! I hope this helps... Good luck!

Answer 6

Answer 7

I've been a surrogate mother twice. It's your own business why you are looking for a carrier at your age; I'm just going to answer your questions.

Are you looking for a traditional or gestational surrogate?

For a traditional, she would use her eggs and your husband would submit his sperm.  For a gestational, your own eggs will be used and your husband's sperm.  You will need to go through your fertility doctor and IVF clinic for this.

The $18,000-40,000 is not for the surrogacy; that is for the surrogate.  Figure in a traditional surrogacy to ADD $10,000-20,000 for the various expenses of the journey and to a gestational surrogacy ADD $20,000-100,000+.   This is for the maternity care/insurance, clinic fees, attorney fees, agency fees, etc.  

It gets quite expensive quite fast.

To find a surrogate, there are many ways online and offline that you can use.  What about your lawyer? Have you asked him if he has any surrogates that are currently available?  This is a very common way to find a surrogate.
