Surrogacy threads will move to Parenting (general).

I wonder if there might be a surrogacy thread in the infertility forum. You might check there OP.

Hmmmm, a "1 post person".  That's fine for you to assume that.  I actually have another name on here but lost my passwords and log in info in my other computer, and it was always auto log in.  When I posted my question I was surprised it posted by my new homeschool name.  But that is ok.  You can assume whatever you want about me, but just know that sometimes that just isn't accurate.  I apologize if hostility was expressed, I was really surprised to be told I can't ask a question.  A more appropriate response might have been "Why don't you try ____ forum, as we are not permitted to discuss this topic here.  Good luck."  Rather than get upset with me for others posting similar questions here.  I did not post those questions and it was an honest mistake.

All I was trying to find out was info from the other side of things, the intended parent side.  Like "I chose this agency and they were awful, I should have looked for this__."  "I tried to adopt, but because I am _____ and _____, I just couldn't make it happen, so we tried surrogacy."  and maybe a "good luck with those specifics!  I don't think it will happen but you can try.  We tried to find ___ but couldn't.".

I truly appreciate knowing that not all parents who adopt are on a "checklist" and have tried everything, that is a good point to remember.  I think I am also trying to justify in my mind, surrogacy, and needed to know that some people just can't adopt.  I personally feel strongly about adoption and it is a life goal of mine to do so, someday, and if not, foster parent.  It is something I am drawn to, so I get what was said about that.  My parents tried for years to adopt without success.

Yes, I have checked out the surrogacy mother websites and appreciate that info, thank you.  I was just hoping for a more "Mothering" POV.  I appreciate the PMs.  Thank you.

Thank you all for your time.
