This is a planned adoption and not a surrogacy in case anyone trys to imply that it is. As an adoptee, when I first found out who my bmom was there was a family member that attempted to convince me that this was a planned arrangement and quite frankly, try as I might , I just found it so mind boggling. I simply cannot imagine intentionally creating a life for the sole purpose of giving the baby away. Human beings are not gifts that are created to supply childless couples with children. They are gifts from God.
I have more respect for a woman that finds herself in an untimely pregnancy and faces the gut wretching decision to place her baby than a woman who intetionally creates a baby only to hand over to another couple/parent.

While there is such a thing as "tradional" surrogacy, there are simply not enough adult children to speak of their feelings.

A good number of adoptees experience enough feelings of rejection and go through life with issues and those adoptees were not inetionally created to be adopted.

I suggest you read the experiences of the bmothers here before you embark on such an arrangement.
I would be devastated as an adoptee if I had been a product of such an arrangement. I thank God that I am just a regular adoptee that was adopted by the best family in the world.
Also, there are many women in the surrogacy community that have daily regrets after going through with an arrangement like this.
Please research, research and research some and rethink this. IMO this would be exremely selfish on the part of the adults. It is dehumanizing. Babies are not meant to be created and gifted to someone. This is an arranged adoption and certainly not what adoption is.
