Should I become a GESTATIONAL surrogate mother? (Meaning, NOT my biological child)

My husband and I have been thinking a lot about me becoming a surrogate mother.
We are both working very hard and our own children need more attention! If I were to become a surrogate
mother, I could spend 24/7 with my kids and make more money than I am working 2 jobs.
Gestational Surrogate would mean IT WOULD NOT BE MY BIOLOGICAL CHILD.
Now, there are a lot of things that go into this. You have to be married, have atleast 1 child that you are
raising, dont do drugs/smoke cigg/drink. NO Criminal background (for you, or your spouse) Not be on welfare, etc etc. They do extensive medical,mental and other testing. ETC ETC. We have qualified,
Im really leaning towards doing it, but I need a little bit of input! :)

Pro: 
  • More time with my children.
  • Helping out another family that are unable to have a child of their own.
  • I could go back to school, because I would have more time and money...thus making our situation better.
  • We could be debt free while doing something LEGAL and AMAZING.
  • We would make a couple, A FAMILY!
Con: 
  • Toll on my body.
  • Last (3?) months will be hell!
  • The birth and recovery will be hard.
  • Shots of hormones for the first couple months. (Its not really a "con" as I am able to do this without fear!")

Pro arguments

Giving the child

If you have the strenght to give the child and you won't have any hesitation about keeping it, then I seems like a good idea. Making another family happy and solving your own problem at the same time sounds like a lovely idea. Good luck!
