I was a gestational surrogate and my primary reason for being a carrier stemmed from the belief that women should help other women. I view the choice to become a mother as a type of "sisterhood" to which no woman desiring a child should be excluded. I think many women have a maternal nature, not just for children, but for other women specifically. It's this that (I think) is a motivating factor for Surrogates. It was for me. It was not so much wanting to "give" as it was having a "respectful empathy" for the intended parent. A way to say "Hey, you're not alone 'sister'...there's hope."</p> <p>I have every intention on being a Surrogate again.</p> Sun, 14 Oct 2007 07:43:55 -0700 comment 130 at http://www.proudparenting.com
