I have thought about this issue of surrogacy over and over again. A friend needed similar help but my partner is so old fashioned, he doesn't think it's a good idea. Our society ehn! he was asking questions o, plenty questions, will i be the one to impregnate you and you will give out the child? so you will carry a child who was fertilised by another couple? Will you be in this house for the nine months? How about your job? What will you tell people when they ask for the baby after nine months? The questions were too much so i aborted the idea.
Unfortunately, some of us want to help but we have non-supportive partners/society...

i read through the TTC thread once in a while and say a prayer for them everytime...
my hubby said I will have to convince him very well but only after we r done with having kids.... I don't mind helping out. Inshort I've given it a good thought. My only ish is the morning sickness except mayb the gestational surrogacy which I wld prefer anyway.... I don't mind donating eggs too. This one my hubby is on board.
I'm a health professional so telling my colleagues et al it's surrogacy wldnt b an issue. Of course I will tell my family and friends. I wld only leave out the identity of the owner of the baby. It's something I really wanna do.

Please I need your expert advice.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and want to have the baby in the us.
I and hubby applied for visiting visa but we were denied.
I don't know why.
Hubby and I have good jobs and this is not the first time he's traveling.
His elder brother who is a Dr sent us an invite but the Vo didn't ask all these.

I'm guessing it's because we ain't wedded yet.
We've done just trad and the wedding is scheduled for Oct.
I'm thinking of us doing court and applying alone this time.
Please I need your advice.
I'd hate to been turned down again.

So today I was thinking... If u go through the ttc thread and ivf especially ivf thread Hmmm.... You'll melt...

So I felt if u can freely and willingly donate eggs especially if u know one who's in need pls do.
I wanted to discuss surrogacy but that'll take personal conviction.
These people are spending alot... OMG a whole lot. So pls I indulge us to visit and pray and do what you can as d spirit leads (like donate eggs, surrogacy) . During ur devotion pray for them or even if it's only one person.. Pick a name and pray.

God bless us all.

@Ftm ah ah, why you andd Neff dey do like this na?! Una must answer PM oo! cheesy
Well, for me its always been my policy that if you are on visa matters,here is no reason why you can't post your kweshun here.
Somebody actually buzzed me on the health thread and when I replied, na visa kweshun. I referred her back here and till today she nevr ask the kweshun so apparently it wasn't important. Darris how someboy will now send me to be cracking ma brain on matter wen no important
Someone said and I quote "na wa o I sent that msg since morning and u r just replying ( after 5 hrs) that's not Nice"
I now said wow u didn't assume I'm busy? Anyway I'll reply at my free time and it's not even compulsory I do.
He now said is that how I speak to my husband at home?
I ignored. Next he sent an email the next day asking questions I added him to spam. He sent me emails with his other emails and I kept adding to spam. He actually said I won't apologize if that's what you are looking for shocked such nerve. I said I'm not ur wife go and pour ur tantrums on her.

Then one hormonal brat
I replied her the next day Inshort I managed to reply her was really down cos of ms. And she said
Ftm so it took u so long to respond. I now said sorry jare u know how this morning sickness can b. She now said we women like exaggerating... So I can't just take my phone and quickly answer her.
It was as if she was paying me.
I now said no way, I will reply when I can. She said I'm feeling like I have all d information. She will get her info without me. I said Ok then... later and God bless. She shamelessly sent me a msg about a week later apologizing nd asking me for the pages of bla bla bla I shld just snap my jotter for her. I ignored and added her to spam.

People have eaten up their humanity and are so insensitive and selfish.

So I also read about renting a car. Here's my advise to you people.

1) if you know you didn't go to a proper driving school here, please don't attempt to rent a car. You might end up presenting driving tickets and receipt of payment as your hospital receipt when you want to renew your visa.

2) do you know road signs very well? The ones written on the floor? If you don't, buy slate for kewu, and start practising it. Just be reciting it like you are learning kewu in Ile kewu.

3) Google maps.. Please learn how to use GPS very well and if you don't have Eztag please always avoid tolls. If you enter one and you see purple light, no, it's not disco light, it's gbese waiting for you in the mail box

4) speed limit in school areas... It's very important to adhere to it. If you see a school bus park and you see the brake light blinking, please just stop behind the bus.. If the bus doesn't move, don't move or overtake it o. If its there for 1hr, just open nairaland to keep yourself entertained

5) Yield. You need to learn this one very well, or else, accident. And insurance is not sere sere

6) make sure you get a proper insurance. It is better than to stammer incase anything happens.

Good luck people
I'm sorry but this post is the post of all posts

Kidding!!!

shocked

It goes back to this conversation that came up a while back! The bladdy Zero balance y'all carry about is what yoruba's call Alakoba!

Why? How do you explain the discount? It has fancy names like adjustment, discount etc, but in the VO's head it keeps ringing, who paid for this discount if not the tax payers? What you need from the hospital is a Zero Balance letter / Letter of non_indebtnedness and nt the computer printout showing all the millions that was struck out just for you. To a lay man, it's hogwash looking at figures disappearing from $15,000, adjustment to $3,000, so where did the $12,000 vanish too? Obviously you have $15,000 of services in value which you paid $3,000 so someone must have suffered for the discount.

Even though it makes perfect sense that you got a discount but these people are there to preserve their country's interest and get defensive when they see stuff like this sometimes.

Me thinks hubby should reapply, and just that plenty talk may enter the situation when he's explaining himself and what the discounts mean.
I agree....
The letter from the hospital makes better sense.no way am I going to take that plenty bill paper.
Epidural is straightforward
Dr fee also straightforward
Nicu same
Brown and associates the payment page mayb
Hospital fee the letter from them. Amd the print out of ur payment.. Erm scratch that... Only the letter from d Hospital
