Her Mom Expects Her To Be Her Surrogate In Order To Save $30,000, And It Seems Her Mom Will Make Her Homeless If She Declines
This 21-year-old girl is currently a college student. Last year, her mom suffered from medical problems, which resulted in her needing to have a hysterectomy.
As soon as that happened, her mom and stepdad began having major issues. It turns out that her stepdad really wants kids of his own, and now her mom can no longer fulfill that dream of his.
“In the end, a month ago, my stepfather left the house over this same issue, so my mother started obsessing over finding ways to have children,” she explained.
Adoption came up in conversation for them, but her stepdad feels he won’t be able to love a child who is not biologically his.
Then, her stepdad brought up surrogacy, and her mom jumped on the idea.
“She started researching the topic and saw that it was extremely expensive (in dollars, it would be around $30,000), so who was her cheap option? Yo,” she added.
Yesterday, her mom asked if she would be her surrogate, so she won’t have to come up with all of that cash.
Not only that, but several hours later, her stepdad asked her about considering being their surrogate, too.
Her mom and stepdad think she’s the best option for them, since they will save a ton of money with her agreeing to carry their baby. But she just feels so upset by their request.

“But when he [my stepdad] told me, I felt an overwhelming urge to vomit and cry,” she said.
“She [my mom] started saying that she wouldn’t force me, but a moment later, she talked about how beautiful pregnancy was and that she would talk to my university to get their support.”
“I clearly don’t want to have children at this age. Yes, I’m no longer a teenager, but I’m still young, and I don’t want to ruin my life explaining why I’m pregnant.”
She also is taking psychiatric medication, and undergoing a pregnancy she does not want will destroy her mental health.
To make this whole messy situation worse, it seems that her mom is willing to kick her out of the house, making her homeless, if she declines to be a surrogate.
“So my only options (considering my mother’s personality) are: accept and live in depression or get kicked out of the house and not be able to study anymore,” she continued.
“What should I do? I’m really very desperate.”
