I posted this in my profile. Would probably be better here.


I'm a 36 year old woman longing for children. In 2008 my sister got pregnant for me, her husband as a sperm donor, and she as a traditional surrogate. I didn't do papers immediately because it was her idea and she's my sister. The weekend after mothers day she backed out and he was born 2 days before my birthday. It really put me into a tail spin. Looking back I should have had her go ahead and sign the contract I had in front of a notary public. We're kind of scared to try this again.  But we have tried unsuccessfully for more than 12 years.  I have a severe case of PCOD and he has a low sperm count. I just don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry to hear about your past experience. I hope that everything goes well this time and yes make sure you have a contract no matter how well you know the person. A lot of REs won't even transfer without a signed contract, but I'm assuming since it was traditional, maybe that's different. Good luck to you!

Doing just lovely!

Heartbreaking to hear your story. I sure hope that you're able to hold your own baby soon.

Oh hon, your own sister did that to you?  Have no idea what that does to your relationship.  I'm so sorry.


Are you looking to do TS again?

Unsuccessful with Journey number 5. Looking for new IPs.

Probably so.  We're still thinking on it, but I think TS is the ony option we want to pursue, but I'm not sure how much it cast or anything.  Things were going to be fairly simple with my sister.  As far as the relationship...I still get angry and sometimes I think I hate her, but bottom line..she's still my sister, so I'm speaking with her again most of the time.  Some days I can't, and forgiveness is a daily thing.

 Do any of you have any advice?  We would still want to go indy TS, I think.

thanks,


Chandra
