Someone I have recently met and thus far have come to admire, trust and like has mentioned that some of (this person's) oldest, dearest friends are looking to have another baby, but due to certain circumstances, cannot. It was suggested that this couple could provide appropriate compensation for a private surrogacy. The couple is older (approaching their 50's), and therefore cannot adopt. Their age does not pose a problem for me, as I have known a number of people who have had children later in life, and in those cases, the children seemed to keep their parents young and vital, just by existing.
I have emailed this person to ask the following questions, regarding the friends' situation:
1.) It was mentioned, I believe that this couple lives in or near Vermont. Is this correct?
2.) Why have so many doors been closed to this couple? I haven't seen much in the agency with whom I'm currently in contact that suggests an age limit for intended parents.
3.) Have you mentioned this possibility to them at all?
4.) Could you tell me how their first child came about?
5.) Lastly and most importantly: What about them brought you to feel so strongly in their favor that you would suggest that I was trustworthy enough to undertake such a task?
Once I get answers to these questions, I'll no doubt have more. I don't know if this is something I can even consider, but I feel I need to at least think about it.
Comments, questions, etc are welcome and encouraged.
