Are there agencies in Phnom Penh to be a surrogate mother?

Post by sassyone »

I am taking a a year off to travel the world and want to be in South-East Asia and have been to cambodia before and fell in love with the people and it's culture. I cannot teach English and a friend said many countries in asia are looking for surrogate mothers. Specifically white women and I am. This interests me and I know the process should take 9 months and I have the time and would like to help a family have children who cannot.

I have seen it is frowned upon by the cambodian authorities but they cannot stop it and it's a shame any government would stop people from having kids because they cant. I have thought long and hard about this and I am ready to be a mom for someone else. I am not picky and will help anyone who is in need of children and cannot have them.

Has any expats done this for a cambodian family before or are all the parents other westerners? I need to find a reeliable agency who offers healthcare during this process and will offer mental support. Please don't talk me out of this as I have made up my mind. I never want a child of my own but giving birth is on my bucket list and I want to help people. If you know of a place that scouts for surrogate mothers point me in the right direction. I am drug free and have a clean record if that matters. I dont want a lot of money but payment for my time and thoughtfulness while I stay at home caring for an unborn baby is something I need.

I will need a 9 moonth visa and can I come as a tourist since I will not be working? My friend tried looking to do this in China but she could not find a agency with a good reputation and was scared she would be left to die if something went wrong or be stuck with a child she did not want to keep if the parents backed out. Please offer me any real advice and thank you to everyone who understands me and doesn't judge me. I am doing a good deed but I need a fair agency to walk me through a live changing experience for both me, my familyand the the family of the child.

Mmm, I don't think this is possible in Cambodia. You might try Laos.

Apart from that, as giving birth is on your bucket list, there could be some possibilities in that area. Not sure about the 9 months all expenses paid though.

Not judging you at all, but Cambodians don't seem to have problems with procreating, and quite frankly if they did, they would probably not be looking for a surrogate foreign woman that doesn't speak their language or understand their customs.
Have you heard of Prey Sar ? It is the prison where an alleged surrogate agent from Australia is being held. Why not go have a chat with her before you do anything unconsidered ?

Lots to read here. She's been there a while.

All the best.
