Do you think a Christian woman should be a surrogate parent?

Interesting  Many views but no replies.

Perhaps due to this is an in-vitro conception, and there were no specifics on donor status, including reason for going through the process, only to give up the child. It is a bit of a controversy, and I've not known any Christians who would be willing to do this, and why they would. I'm more in favor of adoption as it seems more biblical to me. Just my two shekels worth. Interesting question though. God bless. 

Shalom, 

David/BeauJangles

P.S. I do remember the story of Abraham and Hagar, by the way. That's a whole different ball game.

Nope .   And if it makes any feel better i practiced what i preached .    When  a couple years back approached me with this offer .

Will you partake of certain duties with his wife so they can have a child .   NO JOKE .   AND my answer was simple but firm . NO .

If GOD wills for you to have a child you will , if not you will not .   Look how long Abraham and sarah were without child , look how Elizabeth and Zacharias were .

Folks we don't do these things .

Apparently, this couple must have thought very highly of you, brother. I applaud your decision to decline making a 'contribution' in this endeavor. I can only imagine your response.

The fact is that there are so many men who would have jumped at the chance
