Babies

Why if there are so many Babies looking for a loving home adoption or fostering do some go for a surrogate mother? and is paying for a surrogate mother illegal in Britain?my question is in relation to the post that Daley and black are going for this method

Because some people want their children to share their own DNA.

can pay for expenses incurred only in this country

The hoops you have to jump through to adopt or foster are long tedious and heartbreaking. I speak from experience.
I believe you can only pay for the surrogates expenses, ie loss of salary and medication and living expenses.

It's a vanity thing too - you want your child to look like you.

[ummmm]

I have 3 of the little blighters. I don't think I'd feel the same if they weren't mine.

Isn't it amazing how Daley and Black are somehow being blamed in this issue ?

Homophobia is never very far below the surface is it ?

Mikey getting the wrong end of the stick again.

There are actually relatively few babies. It's the slightly older children who social services have difficulty placing.

[bednobs]

there arent "so many babies looking for a loving home" there are actually very few in the uk. Children who need adopting often come with significant problems (or are in family groups) and those will be big considerations for many people, especially people who have the means to pay for a surrogate (although surrogacy is by no means without it's problems). There are less legal hoops if the baby is staying with one of the parents too.
As this couple have not released any details (even if it is a surrogate, or what country the pregnancy is in) it's difficult to make comment on this particular situation. Of course, people are free to make comment on the general subject.
