Met a lovely couple last night from Austin, they have been in a civil union for quite some time. Simply wonderful lesbian couple..who knew lesbians were big poker fans too

Wow - that's a really intense and loaded question! If you are comfortable enough with the thought of that, I would say do it! I've always told people that I would be a surrogate mother. I think it's such a lovely gift to give to a person if you are able. (My only problem is that to be a surrogate, you already have to have had 1 child and be raising it so that they know you "work" in all the ways you should. You've got it much easier!)
Wow, what an interesting and exciting occurrence. Well, speaking from a long family history of pregnancy complications and individuals who have trouble becoming pregnant at all I know how frustrating it can be for couples who cannot have children. Several family members have gone through this. I see little difference between this and say a homosexual couple. It is a very difficult situation and, if given the opportunity, I would contribute in a heartbeat to help out a needy couple. I'm a sucker for kids. Just remember to consider you in all of this, some people aren’t cut out mentally/emotionally for the job (not saying that you aren’t.) but wow, such an honor. Good luck in your decision! <3
see i feel the same way, that it would really help these people...but then again i have to consider the fact that it is my genes im just GIVING away, not to mention giving them away knowing that child may have a difficult time with lesbians as parents, but i dont think that is my call to make...wow, this is a toughie.
I'm sure two adults (women certainly - lol) are perfectly capible of thinking about the risks and life this child may have. I'm sure they're way ahead of you.
as for GIVING your genes away, that is certainly YOUR call to make.
In all seriousness and bluntness I have to say: Make sure that this couple knows everything about your history IE Drugs and Alcohol issues. I think they have the right to know that stuff since it is thought that it is genetic. (addictive personality/alcoholism) Other than that I say Right On. I could only ever do that for my sister because I know that I would still think of that child as mine in some way and wouldn't be able to let go completly. At least if it was my sister's than I'd know they would be raised the way I would agree with. AAnnnnnyway...you have some thinking to do.
I am currently hoping I just didn't say you have had alcohol issues when you didn't...I might be mixing you up with another LJ guy...erg...that would be embarrassing.....please forgive me if I just got that wrong... :P
I understand completely what you mean, I don't know if i was specifically the alcholic or not. haha. thats kinda bad. I have had many bouts with many different things. I have made them aware of those things and am also going to be obviously REgetting all my std testng completed.
i do agree though, it would not be so easy to know there is a child with your genes out in the world that you will have little or nothing to do with.
thats kinda sad when you think about, i would want to know the child.
