Surrogacy: The Old Fashioned Way

I was asked about surrogacy and the costs that are associated with this process. The official start is to contact a surrogacy lawyer to draw up the agreement. After that is done you move on to finding either an agency or a surrogate without an agency. You find out the terms at which they require and "negotiate" where both parties agree. Then you move on to treatments. Then the baby comes soon after. Seems super simple and easy. In our person experience we cannot afford an agency as well as other large fees that go along with that route. We started to look at finding our own surrogate. So I signed up for a profile on findsurrogatemother.com which has a lot of women looking to be a surrogate. Some who haven't been on the site in years some who are very active on the site. Your profile is open to everyone and people will contact you regarding being your surrogate or wanting you to apply for their agency... There are a lot of scams and a lot of people who really are there for surrogacy. Compensation is always a number one topic in starting negotiations... Why waste time right.... The process is very much like buying a car... You find the one you like and then you talk money... It's very cut and dry or at least most of the time. Below are screen caps of a conversation I had with a women who reached out to me. She really seemed like she wanted to help. I'll let you be the judge of exactly how helpful she is (enjoy):

       

Soooo .... I'm pretty sure she was propositioning me for adult activities for money and the added bonus was a child.... This is the things people need to lookout for. Some people may not have the common sense to know that this is an odd situation and would probably take her up on this offer due to their emotional state. I hope that this is just a funny situation and she is not really trying to do this with anyone... Anyway....lol.... Others have reached out to me however the least compensation that someone was asking was 20 thousand, still I'd rather use this money to provide for a child.
