. . . for you to bear, through artificial insemination (or any imaginable means, really),

another persons child

for that person to keep?

I'm not sure I could do it. I get attached way too much. I'm not sure I could give the child to them after it was born.

Thats a hard question...i am have strong views on adoption...i do not understand why we keep having children in this world that we can not take care of....How is it fair to those little babies that can not be taken care of and nurtured and loved like they should be. We need to take care of them before we continue to produce more....

That's the way I imagine (and hope) I'd feel if I were the . . . gift bringer.

That is a wonderful sentiment that I've often felt (and still do), but what about one's own personal genetics to continue?

Most people now days have more then one child...so adopt one and then have your own...at least then you are helping out as well as continuing your own genetics.....

I was asked by my sister and brother in law about 3 years ago to carry a baby for them. She had had several miscarriages and they really wanted a baby. I said yes knowing that the baby would be either my niece or nephew and that I would get to be a large part of his/her life growing up. They got pregnant w/ my niece about a month after that......Whewwwww!!!LOL

You know something: sometimes you're pretty sharp for a woman who has so much doubt about herself.

i don't think it's possible for me to carry someone else's child, so i'm safe from birthing and such. SCORE!

That's pretty courageous. I'm flabbergasted at such responses - truly.

I'm new but I've heard about you. I'm not sure what you are besides thoroughly entertaining, but... did you notice this post began, "Women,what would it take . . ."

Oh yeah, see your point now. I'd check that one out, too.

My kiddo's moms wanted to put him up for adoption, and I wouldn't let it happen. And I wasn't the one carrying him..

I would imagine most women would become as attached as me, and than some..

I've known for 20 years or so that I would never be able to carry a child to full term...I've had 3 miscarriages...but if I could give that gift to someone else...hell yeah I would
