Sometimes life stinks. But you pick yourself backup up and keep going.

Ever thought about adopting? Lots of kids already born without a home.

 

[brainhulk]

GL Filezz, having a child is a lot of work but I can't think of anything that has changed my life so much for the better.

 

[Rakehellion]

I don't understand what this is.

I agree, but that will also cost a FORTUNE from what I hear

I think he wants to get paid $25k to have sex with his wife.

 

[PokerGuy]

Best of luck to you and your wife, I'm sure that's a difficult situation.

Idiots who don't want to care for a child have 5 of them with different men/women, pop them out left and right, when you have a couple who wants a child and will take care of the child properly struggle to have one.

How old are you and your wife?

Bullshit. I'll do it for 500 bucks.

 

[nageov3t]

it's always seemed absurd to me to see people spending tens of thousands of dollars on surrogacy rather than adoption.

 

[Markbnj]

You can have my kids. PM me to schedule pick up.

[Red Storm]

Good luck.

 

[jaedaliu]

Good luck with the donor. I hear it's hell on the body, but college kids need the money.

Someone could make a similar argument that it's absurd to put your body through 9 months of trauma rather than adopt.

It's completely natural to want your own biological child. I really can't stand it when people criticize those that use surragates or do IVF or fertility drugs for not adopting. Why don't they adopt?

OP, I feel your pain. My eldest son and his wife are in the same predicament. They went through the fertility treatments ... unsuccessfuly.

Unfortunately, adoption carries it's own risks. I was told that (locally) most children come from Columbia ... and that each is "special needs".

Personally I don't see the point in having your own children. To carry on a name or some bs I suppose? I'd be more likely to adopt some poor kid that needs a home and give them a shot at life before I would having my own.

Because adoption is just as expensive. Many people look at it, if they're going to spend the money, they want to have their own kids.

 

[brainhulk]

adoption is great but imo not equal to your own biological child. You won't have the experience of nurturing a miniature version of yourself grow up. You also risk that in 12-15 years down the road the kid saying, "you're not my real daddy"

it's easier to stick your dick in your wife (or girlfriend, mistress, etc) and pop out a baby than it is to go through the adoption process... but it's easier to go through the adoption office than spend tens of thousands of dollars in surrogacy.
