In the USA, the only way a man can have a child that can't be taken away the mother is to use a surrogate mother. It that something men should do?

Alysa Liu is the oldest of five children; like her siblings (a sister, Selina, and triplets Joshua, Justin, and Julia), she was conceived through an anonymous egg donor and a surrogate mother.

Not just USA , Australia is pretty similar , I do know a guy who did this ( he is gay and wealthy ) and I must say he does make a wonderful father , the way men are being treated in general now , its something that many will have to consider.

When you have done nothing wrong , and all your rights have been just swept away , and then on top ordered to pay child support , its a very bitter pill to swallow , I'd advise all men considering becoming a father to proceed with caution at all stages.

It'd be far better to just improve the family laws. We as a society are finally starting to admit the dangers of single motherhood (often in stupid ways, as many single mothers aren't that way by choice); admitting the dangers of growing up without a father while ignoring those of growing up without a mother is rather hypocritical- especially in light of the sheer number of kids in need of adoption.

Very hard for any guy to find a willing surrogate and even if he could it would cost the equivalent of 200-500 thousands dollars.

The cost of surrogacy in Mexico ranges from $55,000 with your existing embryos, to $62,000 for a standard program including donations, IVF, surrogacy and all... www.sensiblesurrogacy.com/.../

That is not cheap an may not be affordable by men with the medium USA income. However, 34% of men earn more than $100,000 per year and for them it would be affordable.

Mexico is not America. No guarantee the surogate mother doesn't take the baby and the money

[Adaeva]

If you Googled to find the facts instead of making false statement, you would have realized Mexico enforces the contracts.

Is Mexico good at enforcing laws?

[Adaeva]

Mexico is one of the recommended options so I'm sure they are.

You can adopt. Even gay men adopt children.

[rebeliouse]

why do women get all the rights in this

[Adaeva]

Things change. There was a time and in some countries where men have all the rights. I guess it depends on what our masters want. Perhaps they want no marriages and for all children to have single mothers.

Japan the male always took the children , still heavily favored in that culture.
