shark_heather Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 What are the ways for a gay couple to have their own child ? I know the surrogacy in USA costs around 150.000$ Is there a cheaper way ?

PrettyHurts Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Ask a friend to be the egg donor + surrogate and use a turkey baster

Its almost impossible to happen to a gay couple over 40 years old who dont own a 3 bedroom house and one of them is flight attendant ... Also i would like to experience the fatherhood from the birth of the child 1

Sorry hehehe
Before Today Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Something about surrogacy is just off to me... Good luck to finding biological mother for your own kid though, no judging.

Sorry hehehe In my case the lesbian couple wanted 2 kids with an 1 year age gap. They told me I am free to be as involved as I want to be which is great because they are the full time parents and I just come around when I want to, more like a fun uncle except the kids are made from my DNA
pavi Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 1 hour ago, BadMonster said: In the Netherlands surrogacy isn't really an option for a gay couple, since it's illegal to post something on socials for example that you're looking for a surrogate, so that basically means it would have to be someone very close to you that you know personally and can ask that way. Over here you'd need to adopt or have to be extremely lucky to know someone who'd want to do it for you (or find a woman who's looking for a baby daddy and share custody, cuz of course women are allowed to look for a donor) Even if it's someone close to you, it's very tricky, since the baby's mother will always have the right to keep it anyway. My best friend's cousin tried it with a close friend, but after she had the baby and it lived with the cousin and his husband for a couple of days, the surrogate mother changed her mind and decided she wanted to raise it herself. That would've meant she had to share custody with the cousin, of course, cause he was the donor, but it turned out she had sex with her own bf close to the insemination and it was actually his baby. My friend's cousin and his husband were left with an empty baby room and no rights to even see the baby. I get that the mother's rights are highly protected (in The Netherlands at leasy), but it also means as a gay couple there will always be some uncertainty when using surrogacy. To live with that uncertainty for me would be way too hard

shark_heather Posted September 3, 2022 Author Posted September 3, 2022 Well you guys are very helpful but i dont want to have children with a lesbian couple or a friend of mine cause you never know how the motherhood will hit the woman and maybe she will decide to keep the baby

Or just random people wanting to surrogate? I am still confused .
shark_heather Posted September 3, 2022 Author Posted September 3, 2022 I was actually thinking if there is a cheaper way of using a surrogate ( stranger ) maybe in South America
