Man this is a loooonnnngg process... i am still recieving emails from other hopefull parents. aswell as the guy from canada that wanted me to have his baby, i have also been offered a free flight and accomodation in san diago aswell as a large amount of compensasion money.. and another american mum who wants me to have her baby because she couldn't bear the pain of childbirth.. and wanted the surrogate mother to move over there so she could keep a close eye on them to make sure they were eating healthy. oh please! if i am going to chose who's baby i going to have, itd definately be for someone who can't bear the pain of NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN THEMSELVES! lol this is quite a huge thing i am doing for a special person who can't have a child. i believe everyone deserves to experience parenthood and no amount of money or pain should be the reasons behind why i am doing this!!! OK my rant is over now.. Oh and im not sure if i have mentioned this but every one keeps asking me how much i am getting paid to do this.. ok so the answer is nothing. i told the intended parents that all i want in return is their appreciation and i wana feel really good about doing this amazing thing. Yeah most people get a big handout for putting their body and emotions through hell but my children didnt cost me a cent to have and i know that just fertility associates themselves wouldn't be cheap, so paying me money on top of that for something EVERYONE should get for free, well thats just selfish.. it's not like they are making me do it, i voluntered. and you don't volunteer for something and then hold out your hand and say "fifty thousand dollars please". Lol ok so thats where i am at right now.. the intended parents i am going with are still mulling over weather to use my egg or their donar egg at this stage.. i am totally ok with what ever they decide to do..
until next time. xx
That's very nice of you Emily - this is something I have wanted to do for a long time but apparently in NZ you cannot be a surrogate unless you have finished having kids which I have not obviously only being you age. NZ laws state that you can't be paid money for being a surrogate anyway but you have made a lovely decision for some people and they will love you forever for it.
