So I was reading this article today about surrogate mothers it made me think that it would be a pretty cool thing to do. http://www.newsweek.com/id/129594

I mean it would take a lot for someone to make that kind of sacrifice no sacrifice isn't quite the right word. Maybe selfless gift is a better way to put it. I don't know it just gives me an awesome respect for humanity that there are people in the world who would be willing to give birth to someone else's child.

I would like to think that I am that type of person. I say I would like to because I'm not sure I am that type of person. I mean I think I'm a good person but I don't know if have that capacity for giving and being selfless. I think it would probably depend on if I had children of my own or not. I would think that maybe it would be easier to detach if I could differentiate between the child I'm having for me and the child I would be having from someone else. But I don't know I often have trouble seeing myself as a mother so I think it might make it easier for me to do that for someone if I knew I wasn't going to have my own kids.

Anyway the reason for this rambling post is that I think it's really cool that people do this and I think I could see myself doing it if conditions were right in my life. I don't know what would make those conditions right but I think maybe someday if the opportunity arose I could totally see myself doing it.
