If these are the parents I see on the news I feel really bad for the pregnant woman. The bio parents seem kinds of cold and almost cruel about it, they are just like give me my baby! They really haven`t said anything about how hard this must be for the woman carrying the baby only that it sucks for them. I couldn`t imagine thinking that you are pregnant with your child to have someone tell you sorry it`s not yours and you have to give it away or terminate it. How horrible it must be to be forced into making the choice of surrogacy or termination. I feel so bad for the pregnant mother.

I think the lady is doing the right thing by giving up the baby to the biological parents. Given that she can not hold another pregnancy it would be a fabulous offering of the other mother to serve as her sarrogote. Traggic story, but the couple are doing what I think is the right thing.

I am shocked that anyone would think she has the right to keep it. It isn’t her baby, she is just an oven. What if the shoe was on the other foot and it was your baby inside someone else, I am sure you would be oh, it isn’t her fault she can have my baby. I don’t mind that there is my flesh and blood running around out there because he/she wasn’t in my womb. Ya right. And, no as a surrogate of another couples child, you have no legal right to keep that baby. Carrying a baby doesn’t make you the Mother. Luckily there are many legalities covered before surrogacy is started, to save couples the heartache of such a selfish decision.

i saw the story as well. they are in the process of sorting the legal issues (law suit). i would sue them. what i dont really understand is why the other woman wouldnt have offered to carry a baby for them. but its not like they could force her. i also dont understand how she has to give the baby to this woman. she didnt ask for this to happen. it doesnt make sense how she was legally allowed to have an abortion if she wanted, but she isnt allowed to legally keep the baby. its really a messed up situation so damn right i would sue them for this. it puts a huge moral dilema on the woman, i dont think i couldve aborted either, but to have to give up the baby after isnt exactly fair either. i guess i understand the legal reasoning, but i just dont agree with it. i dont know its a tough call.

The IVF clinic will be paying for the pregnant couples surrogate. I believe they are settling with the clinic, as are the biological parents. I know the bio parents want to settle with no big court deal because they don`t want their son to be known as that baby from the IVF mix up...

I agree with military mommy that I believe life begins when the sperm meets the egg. From the little I know, I think they are wonderful people. If I were the biological parents, I think I would offer to be a surrogate.

I cant imagine how both couples are feeling this is crazy. My thoughts are if it were me I would NOT be able to terminate a pregnancy weather or not it was my child its still a baby growing in me..I just imagine the bond i felt with my children growing in me..i would imagine she feels that also.....soooo sad to me but I could be wrong maybe she doesnt feel that bond either way they are brave people.

They feel that life begins at implantation, making her embryos already her babies. I don`t have the religious conviction they do, but I do agree with the premise. I had my m/c and I was `only` 8 wks, according to modern medicine my baby wasn`t alive. IMO my baby was alive from the moment sperm met egg, I loved my baby from the moment I began to hope I was pregnant. Hope this doesn`t offend you, simply my opinion and not trying to shove it down anyones throat. I think they are an amazing set of couples to be handing this in such a reasonable, loving way.

Wow, that is crazy. It is amazing what they are doing. If her health is that poor, how is she going to carry it to term. That is scary.

It is on our news right now- They said they have never received a explanation for the mix up but was offered the termination.

jessberr31 (874.3 days ago)
But they could have chosen to terminate. They found out pretty early on........and they can`t MAKE someone carry someone elses baby. Shoot, you can`t make someone carry their OWN baby! Not that I support termination, but they did have a choice. And if that same clinic offered me a surrogate I would run for the hills, lol! And if I were the woman who were recieving MY baby from a couple who intended to have their own child, I would offer myself as a surrogate. Thats just what I was thinking about when I made this poll.

well this has been all over the news, but legally she cant keep the baby because it is not her embryo, so she has to give the baby back! The clinic though is going to provide a surrogate to carrier her baby since due to health reasons she can not carry or delivey another baby!

Yeah, it was the whole embryo! I just thought it would be nice to do that too, the other woman offering to be their surrogate. Thats what I would do. I would feel so bad that I was getting my child and the other couple weren`t, even though it wouldn`t have been my fault or anything I would still feel horrible and would want to help them. They could have easily terminated the pg, but they chose not to, and I would spend the rest of my life trying to repay then for that!:)
