It’s only my opinion, I know. But, I think it would be the best way to go for. Adoption is good. But, I think surrogacy is better. I think it just about edges it. That’s because you get to have your OWN baby. It is genetically and biologically yours. I don’t know what else one could possibly…[Read more]

The ladies who I have met so far, that have managed to conceive despite their infertility have had one thing in common. It was that they actually did the things they thought about. Rather than mulling over and wasting time. So, I think you should go for it! Surrogacy is fantastic. Good luck to you!

I personally am a bigger believer in nurturing. I believe that genes do matter. However, what matters more is how you raise a child. So, I’d suggest that it doesn’t really matter what donor you select. It’s perhaps important to avoid such who have no history of serious medical illnesses. I hope this helps.

I just believe that surrogacy is the superior option. That’s because surrogacy means you get to have a biological child. Isn’t that the whole point of it? I’d much rather prefer surrogacy, to be very honest. But, at the end of the day, it depends on the person choosing.
