Chrissy Teigen surrogacy

[HermioneKipper]

Just announced a 4th baby via a surrogate.

Its just so breathtakingly entitled to buy a woman’s body - especially when you already have 3 children?!

No regard for the safety of the surrogate’s body or thought for the baby who would be ripped from their mother at birth.

These people sicken me

I had HG when pregnant with twins and it was utterly horrific. The worst time of my life.

I’m actually astounded you’d put yourself and your family through it again. I still feel horribly guilty for the time away from my then 2 year old as I was so ill that I couldn’t get out of bed.

For a fourth child you’d deprive your existing children of their mother for potentially 9 months. I do wonder about people

It is sick. Surrogacy should be illegal.

I've always been on the fence about surrogacy but I read recently that a study had found that dch born to surrogates do always feel lost and as if something is missing in their lives
I agree with the 'ripped from their mothers' comment. It might suit both the women involved but it's not right for the baby.

I’d say it tips it from horrendous to completely ghastly.

Theres no situation in which surrogacy is ok in my opinion but the fact she already has 3 children just makes it even worse

Could someone tell me if surrogacy is legal in the UK? I know a gay couple who went to the US and brought back a baby so i assumed they went there because it was legal there, not here.

The child will grow up with a Grammy award winning music producing daddy who loves kids, , and a top model celeb whose really into kids, yep a hard life ahead for that baby....with parents worth 100's of millions, who'd want that life?

What do we think about a woman offering to carry a baby for a close friend or family member? I know a woman who did this for a dear friend. She is married, has her own children and is involved in the child's life - the child knows that she is her birth mother (sperm donor).

This has been my only personal experience of surrogacy and it was quite a beautiful experience for all involved.

Hi, I'm a lawyer and I've carried two babies for friends (alongside my own three). This country is much different to the States but I do feel myself conflicted. There's nuance, but I appreciate people have to take their stands on this issue.

Why is it that people support adoption but hate surrogacy?

I mean, they are completely different but ok

Later, she shared an adorable clip of newborn Wren getting burped by a baby nanny.

Says it all really.

Buying human beings is dealing in slavery.
It's disgusting.
It's the next war on women.

It's legal here but much more tightly controlled than in the US. Payment to the surrogate here is supposed to be limited to expenses. It's possible the law around registration of the birth and acquiring parental responsibility is different too.

Yes, it's legal. There can be no payment (but this happens - it's called "expenses" and usually ranges from £8 - £15K depending on the surrogate's circumstances).

The parents apply for a Parental Order once the baby is 6 weeks old. The surrogate signs the papers, speak with Cafcass and it gets signed off at court.

New birth cert issued for baby and everyone moves on.

Women can't win ,ever...

Women using and exploiting other women is not a 'win'.

its explotation of poor women, blah blah blah...

Hmm...You start your post annoyed on the behalf of women, but the finish by seemingly not giving a damn about poor, exploited and coerced women. Is it only rich women who can buy babies who matter?

The surrogates have much fewer rights in the US that’s why and it’s a legal arrangement. Plus you can pay the surrogates.

You can’t do that here - you can only pay expenses so obviously much fewer women choose to do it as no huge payout

You can't really be serious, can you? Being wealthy is no guarantee whatsoever of having a happy life or a stable family.

Yes it is legal but the guidelines and laws around UK surrogacy don't suit some so they "shop" abroad.

I agree with this. She gave birth to her third child 5 months ago!

How on Earth would you make it illegal?

Anyone in the UK can do IVF if their under 45 with an egg donor, the celeb can donate her egg, the celeb's partner can donate the sperm and the surrogate can go through the motions and get pregnant by IVF , have the baby and hand it over to legal father. Unless there was some compelling reason for the celeb couple to not be fit to be parents, no court would stop this.

OR the celeb father could simply donate his sperm to the carrier, nothing illegal about that and then the carrier hands over baby to legal father.

You couldn't make it 'illegal'.

Surrogacy is as old as the Bible.

The surrogate is the birth mother on the birth certificate in the UK that is why gay or not couples go abroad.

Pregnancy via IVF is more risky to women than a natural one. Babies also bond with their mother while in-utero.

Read what I typed, John Legend and Chrissy (at least outwardly) seem to be really into their children, that's enough for me, having a shit load of money helps, unless you live in a fantasy world where 'money doesnt matter'.

1. Women don't need to "win" in this context. The baby needs to win. Women, like men, can make their own choices without the validation of the entire world.

2. You are deliberately putting words in people's mouths. To help you out here, nothing wrong with egg donation or sperm donor situations, or adoption of an unwanted baby. What I feel is wrong is making the deliberate choice to create a baby to be taken immediately from its mother.

Other opinions are available.

The birth mother is on the birth certificate in the USA too for goodness sake, the only difference between abroad and here is surrogacy is enforcable in the USA , its not in the UK, so its binding contract to hand over baby and the couple be they two dads, straight couple, two women who can't give birth, are legal adoptive parents.

I dont think Chrissy is as nice as people think - she's lucky she got out of this unscathed, plus the alleged rumours about her being on the Epstein girls. Add to that the stupid photoshoot after she had just lost her baby. There's something not right about her.
