| Would you ever let your friend have your child?
Posted: 10/31/2009 9:49:12 PM | I was just curious, would any of you ever let a close friend to have your child?
For Example: If you was a girl and you have been close friends with a guy for years, would you ever let that person have your child? | |

Posted: 10/31/2009 10:12:47 PM | You mean raise some man's child without the benefits of having someone who loves me, be my lover, accompany me to social gatherings, help me with 2am feedings, be there when I need a break, have someone to confide in and lean on, provide a traditional family atmosphere, etc, etc?
Hmmm... let me think about that... He11 no!
The only way I could see this happening would be if:
a) I really wanted a child and had completely given up on the idea of love (but that wouldn't happen - I'd rather travel the world)
or
b) I already had other children for whatever reason, wanted another one and had completely given up on the idea of love
Doesn't that sound depressing? I'll go back to my first answer which was He11 no! | |

Posted: 10/31/2009 10:18:50 PM | No, not in any ordinary circumstances. I suppose it's just possible that if I was very ill and he was my very best friend and the child had bonded with him, then I might consider appointing him as guardian if I was unable to look after the child. I'd have to have considered family options first, though the deciding factor would be what was in my child's best interests. Of course, the friend would have to agree too.
What kind of situation did you have in mind? | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 2:15:22 AM | | I will never have children but if I HAD to have one, yes I would give it away. The next day. So do you mean give birth to, raise or both? Either way yes. It would be given away. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 5:21:08 AM | Define "have"!
Do you mean you need a surrogate? Do you mean to take them and look after him/her for you? Do you mean date the child, marry it?
I'm pickled by your question lol | |

As far as foster parenting your child, this would be where the godparents come in.
As far as conceiving a child, I have heard it done with only gay couples who don't want to go through the adoption process as they are given heck for even thinking it. They may look for a surrogate. Too many issues to think about and most would depend on someone who is already a parent and not wanting anymore children of their own but would sacrifice themselves one more time for a friend. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 6:22:57 AM | Do you mean give away a living child?
or
Impregnante a friend, so they can have a child without you around?
As you refer to this being a 'guy', it must be giving him one of your children OMG OMG OMG what the hell has the child done to deserve this??
OP THINK YOU ARE NUTS FOR EVEN ASKING EITHER QUESTION, children are not toys to be shared out........................................ | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 9:14:15 AM | | He11 no! Still.... if there is nothing more than a friendship bond... who is to say the father can't just walk away when it gets boring? Marriage is required for me to even consider having a child... | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:18:00 AM | Geesh! You're only 20 - still almost a child. I sincerely hope you're not thinking of impregnating someone solely to father a child!
I couldn't see it ever happening. As a woman, I could always use artificial insemination, if I wanted a child badly enough. As a man, you would need a surrogate mother.
Now depending on the relationship between you and the surrogate, I guess its plausible for something like this but its all in the details! Custody arrangement, financial arrangement, etc.
Would I have a male friend's child? No, because I could never give the child up. Now, could I have my sister's child? Absolutely (well if it was still physically possible-which its not).
There are so many children up for adoption. Granted, most are older kids and they are the ones that truly benefit from wonderful parents.

Posted: 11/2/2009 12:27:20 PM | | I have a gay friend who fathered a child for a lesbian couple. They kept the child and he has visitation rights. They wanted a father whom they knew, liked and respected the characteristics of. He, a single man, wanted a child but wasn't in a long-term relationship in which he could raise the kid with two parents. From what I can tell as an observer it seems to be working out. Hell, a child can never have too many people loving them, can they? | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 12:31:28 PM | What do you mean by that? Guys are not equipped to carry a pregnancy to term.
Edit: Oh, you mean have a child with a friend.... Well that's kind of weird, but if all else failed I would.
But if you have a female friend who is *just a friend* and you are hoping to have a child with her one day - I'd say MOVE ON. She is probably more likely to do the IVF + "single mother by choise" in her late 30s than having a child with a friend in her early 20s. Don't wait 15 years for that. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 12:34:52 PM | OP: What is this all about? More info needs to be shared, as giving away a child is not like giving away a kitten.
EDIT: Just read your last post. No, I don't think I would have a baby with my friend. Although, I have been offered this scenario - dummies! lmao

Only if we're married. Whatever happened to "first comes love, then comes marriage. Here comes the baby in the baby carriage"? I feel bad for a lot of these kids who come from f'd up homes. | |
