Out of curiosity, hypothetical: say you actually like the idea of being pregnant, but don't want or need to be in anything more than platonic with a willing gay pal. Would you give your gay pal a kid?

Uh no. That would not be possible for me. I've only undergone childbirth once, and the emotional attachment is too great to just give a child away.

I do have a gay friend with whom I've discussed this same scenario. He's looking into adopting, but Florida isn't the friendliest state for gay adoptions even though the ban against them was overturned in 2010. We talked about surrogate parenting, and he looked at me. I said oh no, you better call UPS because I stopped making deliveries 23 years ago!

No. I've been through one pregnancy. The wear/tear on my body is too great (in spite of apparently having damn nearly the easiest pregnancy ever). Much less the emotional bond. I went through placing my child in an open adoption and it still nearly killed me. I could care less if the dude is gay and wants a kid, or if they're a purple people eater. It's just too hard.

I probably won't ever be able to conceive due to medical problems. If I'm ever lucky enough to create a little half-me-half-him, it would have to be with a man I love and share my life with. Only because it's such a delicate situation, and I've already lost one baby due to my medical problems. For me, reproduction is a very big deal. (not that it's NOT a big deal for everyone, but I'm sure you know what I'm getting at..) Not something I could do with a platonic friend.

I'd rather adopt than try to conceive my own, there are so many kids in this world who need a parent, I'd feel like a greedy bitch if I insisted on letting them grow up with no one to call Momma just so I can force my body to do what nature is telling it not to.
