We just had a friend say the most amazing thing to us...

We had mentioned that we wanted to adopt a child. She said, without any sort of hesitation, that her womb was open and she'd love to surrogate for us. She wasn't interested in raising a child, but she'd be happy to bear one.

My mind is in overload.

I agree. Sometimes if it sounds to good to be true it may be. Slow and think hard about it. southernyankeebelle Oct 2012 #6

Friend immediately offered to be a sperm donor, and his fiance is completely onboard with it too. Sometimes the generosity and kindness of folks just blows you away, doesn't it?

Amazing! That is indeed a good friend ....and you two must be really good people to have someone offer so much without the slightest hesitation. If you take her up on the offer I hope you all have the most wonderful experience!
