I looked into it once, to be a surrogate, but they only want women who have already birthed a child so I don't qualify.

Thinking about it, when there are no unwanted children, and no children left who need homes, and overpopulation not a concern, then I would consider this a more valid option. But currently there are *so* many of us, and so many children needing families, that to deliberately birth a child you don't want seems irresponsible.

I realize wanting a child and not being able to have one causes a lot of heartbreak, but I don't think surrogacy is the answer. A child being "yours" isn't caused by genetics, it's caused by being there for all the bumps and bruises and learning experiences of that child's life.
