Surrogacy and Adoption Conundrum
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I've been back on the fence recently, because of a strange conflict in my mindset that I'm struggling to unpack. I will obviously discuss this with my therapist and partner but curious to hear others thoughts.

I struggle to understand this feeling of being content with a family of 3 when these apparently contradictory feelings come up.

I would happily surrogate for another couple I knew if they wanted me to. It would be a great honour and I would love to have that opportunity.

I would love to adopt or foster another child. I would love to provide a loving home to a child in need. The only reason I won't is because my partner doesn't feel he is up to the challenge. He feels he would fundamentally treat his biological child and adopted child differently, and we don't think that's fair to a child in an already vulnerable position.

If I would be pregnant again, and I would have another child. Why on earth can't I get my head around having another of my own children?

Would love to hear from others their thoughts on these issues?
