Having a baby for someone else? Advice please..

[MakingDec123]

Friends of mine are unable to have a baby. They are already WONDERFUL parents of 3 kids, but the 3 kids are not theirs together. They want a baby to raise together. Adoption wait lists are long. Surrogacy is out of the question for many reasons.

Basically, if I were to get pregnant with the intent on having them adopt the baby, how would that work? Has anyone ever done that? I already have 2 kids of my own and do not want any more.

Thanks!

I would contact a adoption agency to see what they suggest, or lawyer who deals with this.

I think that is a beautiful thing to do..I would take some time to really think it over and for sure get a lawyer or talk to one.. My best friend had a surrogate and she has 3 triplets who are 7 now..I would have done it for her in a heartbeat, but I just couldn't do that with my own child, but that is me.. Just want you to make sure before you do this.. Good Luck

Surely that would be surrogacy and it would be best for both parties to get some legal advice.

I agree with sophxx. It's best for you to both get legal advice before going ahead with it.

Legal advice and most importantly counselling with the couple and a surrogacy specialist psychologist to talk about the ins and outs of the process. You sound like an amazing generous person. I wish the world had more people like you!
