surragate question?
i am thinking about being a surrogate, i found what i thought was a couple in the uk, i am from america, they told me it was illegal there, why would they lie to me, what kind of scam is this, why are they wasting my time when i could be talking to a couple that really needs me? i am feeling hurt, i shared so much info, what could they possible be getting out of this, is there a legality that would cause a couple to look for an American to be there surragate,
the law is the same here in the usa, they keep saying we can only pay 5000, we can only pay 10,000, i told them i only wanted expenses met, maybe it is to get me in trouble for selling my services even though i am not

I am not sure. I would stick to your region just to be safe. I am infertile ( had a hysterectomy at 23) And on behalf of all the women who can not have children on their own i would like to say what you are doing is brave, selfless and the most thought full thing i have heard of someone doing for another. Thank you so much for being the person you are!

Surrogacy is not prohibited by the law. However, it is illegal for an individual or agency to act on a commercial (ie. profit-making) basis to organise or facilitate a surrogacy arrangement for another person. Agencies or individuals may perform this function on a non-commercial basis and individual surrogate mothers may be paid expenses by the intended parents. All advertising that a person is willing to be a surrogate mother or that someone is looking for a surrogate mother is prohibited.
The law states that any clinic providing treatment involving the donation of eggs or sperm, or the creation of embryos outside the body, must be licensed by the regulatory body, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). Full surrogacy, which involves the creation of embryos outside the body must therefore only be performed in a licensed clinic. Where the insemination with the intended father’s sperm, in partial surrogacy, is performed by a health professional (thus using donated sperm), the premises on which the procedure takes place must also be licensed by the HFEA.

Could it be possible they were willing to come over to the US for the surrogacy ? I thought it was only illegal in the Uk if payment was given by the parents to the surrogate. The surrogate is allowed to ask them for expenses such as maternity clothing, trips to hospital etc, but not for actually giving them the baby.
