Would you be ok with your wife being a surrogate?

My wife has talked about it a bit, ultimately it doesn't happen unless I'm on board which I appreciate having that amount of influence. However, if we were to go along with this, we would be paid around $100,000.

Some things to note:

It would be a gestational surrogacy.
The baby would not be related to my wife.
The people are in a sense friends of ours, better friends with her than I.
We do want to have at least 1 more kid of our own, maybe two and this would delay that.

The money would be a great addition to some things we want to accomplish, but the idea of my wife bringing another family's child into the world is a hard thing to wrap my head around.

Dollar per stretch mark for someone else's kid sounds a bit light for me personally.

$100,000? Is that number negotiable?

As you mentioned, this is a difficult thing to wrap my mind around.

A quick glance shows the average is $70K. Others quote $100k as normal. It's not all take-home money as it's intended to cover medical, legal, agency fees, etc.

You say the wife has talked about it a bit, how much is a bit?

My concern would be the fact that no pregnancies are the same and complications can arise that could prevent additional successful pregnancies, especially with your own family being incomplete. No amount of money can replace that.

That's a very selfless thing she wants to do. Kudos to her.

Are there conditions, besides the obvious no drus, smoking, alcohol, about diet, supplements, delivery method; natural, no epidural, midwife at home? Pregnancy has it's physical 'costs' through the whole process not just the delivery by the stork. And unfortunately there is the maternal death possibility, small but real. IMHO.

Postpartum depression is no joke. No amount of money (especially not $100K) is worth that.

It would be my wife’s decision obviously, but I would recommend that she decline.

A bit as in, she would 100% be down if I say yes, but if I say no, it wouldn’t matter really at all.

This. Never do "business" with friends or family. Especially when a child might be involved.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. Out of sight out of mind is no big deal. Hey it’s done here’s your baby have a great life...

But let’s say a few years down the road, we are hanging out with them for whatever reason and it gets brought up multiple times about how my wife carried the kid etc. I’m sure it would be different then than the idea of it is now, but still.

It’s one of those weird situations.... I’m sure I would become closer with them throughout the pregnancy than I am now, but down the road they would definitely be people that I wouldn’t really enjoy having around often, if at all. Again that’s the me talking, and not the 9 month from now talking where my attitude may or may not change
