The psychological and emotional strain is unimaginable. At some point the woman carrying the child may actually start thinking "This is actually my baby". That's when trouble starts. And because the baby is gonna be with her until the right time to give back to the original parents, the bond is still with the one that bore them for 9months

dominique:


The baby won't be biologically her's. It will be the woman's egg and man's sperm embryo implanted into her. She can never lay claim on such baby. Besides, there will be a lot of legal paperwork involved.

Try it here and end up having a 2nd Wife....

Most Nigerian girls are deceptive

MollyBank:


My dear, if you want to do it, just do it. Stop telling people about it because most Nigerians don't really know what it's all about. They will discourage you and may probably start giving your baby a certain when she's born.

Before you do it, just find out the legal bits of it, and then proceed to a fertility clinic.

dominique:


What kind of hospital name is that? Sounds like a baby factory

modernWays:


Dont mind him,not only Nigerian women, no woman on earth will see her child after some years and not feel emotionally in the name of surrogacy. Also what child on earth will not ask of his/her mother if he get to know he was born through surrogacy.

Surrogacy will soon be banned even in western countries.

egojeny1:

She is right. Save a life foundation, prime hospital, I think first rivers, nordica and Most fertility clinics here offer the service. It is legal. All legal documents are signed. It is very expensive if the hospital gets the surrogate mother for you, but you can get yours and come to hospital with the lady. I heard it ranges BTW 2 million to 10million. Lots of undergraduates here in ph do this.
My sister ( a medical doc ) told me women come to her to offer this service but her hospital doesn't offer such service.

The only problem you will have is choosing the gender. Not sure any hospital can give you assurance of baby girl. It is all probability.

osomegbe:
I want a baby girl and for some reasons best known to us and doctors advice, i don't want my wife to get pregnant again. can i get a surrogate mother here in Nigeria and what are the cost and processes. Is it also legal in our society?

We talked about adopting but i felt we will not feel that fulfillment as our child. Don't get me wrong, i love other people but your blood is your blood. i take care of other people children in whatever way i can?

please, i need to know.

MollyBank:


Ask elders what? Why would you even let them into your privacy? Surrogacy involves your the guy's sperm and the woman's ovum. The surrogate mother will just act as an incubator. She has no genetic connection to the baby.

Lol.....

Thats why I said they are deceptive

She would threaten to kill the baby or the husband marries her before giving birth.....


When a Desperate Nigerian woman sees a back door to marriage, She'd grab it

stephleena:

How? because the surrogate mum,might not even know who her client is..just like no lady is yet claim cristiano's first son
while in some cases,they might know,but can't do anything about it..just as in the case,of Kim and kanye

sweetilicious:
I can't imagine carrying a child and giving her out for money.Who will suck my breast nah? Not my potion

modernWays:


You are the one Ignorant here, .it's very legal and widely accepted in western countries because they're yet to see or think of repercusion this has to bring(on surrogate mother and the child) in the future.

Mark my word or comment today, "Surrogate mother" will eventually be ban or regulates in Western countries.

Some scientific discoveries cannot be totally effective withiout nature, read wide please.

GrammarNazi1:

...Nigeria...

Throwback:



You don't even know what surrogacy is.

The child's mother is the one whose egg was used and not the carrier of the pregnancy. So no asking for mother will occur, except an asking for his/her carrier.

The surrogate does a job of carrying a pregnancy that was conceived by the sperm and egg of the client couple. If the surrogate has any contact with the child at all in the future, she only has an emotional connection and not a biological or genetic connection.

And there is no reason not to even inform the child that he was carried as a foetus by a surrogate to begin with. That does not in any way confuse his/her biological ancestry.

Unless the identity of the owner is hidden, which is better....


But the joy of motherhood is in the birthing which the mother wouldnt feel too

Kaydeexotic:
All pikin na pikin .. don't get me wrong.. but why exactly are you bent on having a baby girl. It's odd in the Nigerian marital atmosphere to want a baby girl at all cost :-\

Women are trying o... I'll have to give it to them.. Cuz me I can't imagine myself carrying a baby for 9months in my belly...shout-out to all mothers out there

TheFreeOne:


Really?


I still doubt if surrogacy will work in this part of the world considering family influence in marriages and will the family of the surrogate mother not interfere if they got to know about such arrangement? Even will the surrogate mother keep to terms of agreement and not want to play a part in the child's life?

Not sure our society is mature for such cos we still hold importance of marriage in high pedestal.
