Do you know any surrogates?

There's a lot more to it than just carrying a baby for a friend. You need to get some sound advice from a medical person and a professional who specialises in surrogacy. How are you going to feel when it comes to actually handing over, what is your baby, to another person? You need counselling and good advice to be able to deal with your hormones/heart, and head, which will be giving you conflicting messages. It sounds a lovely thing to do for a friend but it is fraught with many pitfalls. How would you, or other members of the family cope with seeing the child being raised by another family. And, it being a close family to you raises problems for the child, what do you tell him/her, the truth, fibs or what? do you see what I am saying you need to give this lovely idea a lot of hard thought before proceeding.
