Hello steemians. Hope we are all doing well. Let's talk about surrogacy today. Surrogacy is a matter of family that needs wisdom. It's a fine way of carrying your baby through another woman's body for sometime. I'm glad @okere-blessing initiated a topic as this; and here is the little I can say on surrogacy.

EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE THE MEANING OF SURROGACY.

Surrogacy is the process of carrying someone's child for the parents. In this case the carrier of the baby who is the surrogate has no relationship with the child, most times.
The parents of the unborn baby meet to reach an agreement that must be legal before going to the hospital to begin any process. Surrogacy is simply carrying a child that is not yours for the real parents until the child is born; at this point the contract would be over.

IS THERE ANY IMPLICATIONS HAVING A CHILD THROUGH SURROGACY?

Yes. There are implications just like any other normal pregnant woman. The whole process is just like getting pregnant yourself, which happens, ad having all or some of the feelings that come with pregnancy.
Examples are throwing up, back pain, nausea from morning sickness, weight gain, swelling, etc. It should be noted also that carrying of twins or multiple babies is more common in surrogacy. Having a child through surrogacy might mean having a preterm baby, or even a miscarriage which could be very risky.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ABOUT SURROGACY?

There are ways people can have as many children as they want today, of which surrogacy is among. People could easily adopt kids from the orphanage to train as their own, but the quest to have their own blood and the real parents coming back to claim their kids have made so many go for what is truly theirs. I don'think it's a bad idea. But I still don't understand how these women(surrogates) feel like after carrying a person's baby(ies) for months and having that bond with the child, enjoying and enduring every moment of it, only to realise all links would be cut the moment she's delivered of that baby. It could cause a psychological trauma if care isn't taken.

HOW IS IT VIEWED IN YOUR COUNTRY?

It's very legal in my country. I know a particular celebrity who had her baby through the process, and they're very okay. The process requires a lot of money though, to take care of the surrogate, and patience of the real parent's side to wait for the baby to arrive.

DO YOU RECOMMEND SURROGACY TO COUPLES WHO ARE CHALLENGED IN HAVING BABIES?

This is a hard decision to make, because people are different. For me, I'd say follow your heart. On one hand, you'd be so happy, and on the other the surrogate might come back to cause an issue.
Although it's a contract signed legally, some people are just overly funny. The bond the father of the child in some cases may develop and grow to affect the couple's relationship with the surrogate.
Sometimes the surrogate might evacuate with the baby just to keep it or do any other thing with it.

Conclusion

Surrogacy is a fine option, but one has to be extremely careful when choosing who to carry their blood. It is avery fragile process.
Would like to invite @anthony002 and @spanky-dollar and @bela90 for this contest.
