I would think that you should be asking your doctor theses questions.

maybe look for some local mom forums in the area. Start asking on there. Here is a website you can look at Welcome Page for surrogates

Check it out. There might be some stuff on there for you to look at. Donor 107 is in VA.

I think we BRIEFLY considered it. It's generally the most expensive route you can take, and there's a lot of legal issues involved. We went the adoption route rather than surrogate or fertility specialists because at the end of the day, when you pay all the money - you have a child. The other paths were expensive and they guaranteed absolutely nothing.

We might have looked further if we had a healthy family member willing and able to do it - someone who would bear the burden largely out of a desire to help us rather than for profit. But there really wasn't anyone.

#88 is from MD and will be 25 in May and #107 is from VA and will be 23 in Feb. 21 must be the age requirement because there are a few that are 21, non younger. The total anticipated charges range from $38,560-$52,410.

Good luck JLS

Not necessarily. Sometimes it is better to go through an agency with experience rather than fnding someone. They have dealt with the legalities of it all before.

Now, as with everything- you must check things out.

There is also this place in MD Shrybman Law Offices, P.C. - Child-related Law, Legal Help for Parents

I know a woman from another forum who has been a surrogate several times. She's pregnant now as a matter of fact. I'll ask her, how she gets hooked up with people. She's from this area.

You wouldn't be interested in adopting a child who didn't have your eyes or nose? :shrug:

What if that child might bring you the greatest joy you've ever known?

Heck, I birthed two of 'em and they might as well have been adopted. Well, they are both the image of their fathers.

I can't really help you with your question, but I just wanted to put it out there that I'm available for surrogate fathering.
