Sister Wives Finale: Wife 4 Wants to be Surrogate for Wife 1
It's what sister wives are for, right?
Hey, it’s what sister wives are for, right?
As Wendy Michaels reports over on Strollerderby, on the season finale of Sister Wives, Robyn offered to be a surrogate if Meri wants to have another baby.
The conversation went down right after Robyn gave birth to her and Kody’s first child together, but the seventeenth child in the Brown family:
Robyn: “I want to get you while you’re good and emotional. I want to know if you want me to be your surrogate. Taking pieces of you and pieces of Kody . . . I’m offering it, wholeheartedly.”
Meri teared up and said “Wow, thanks.” before she leaned down to hug Robyn and cry.
Meri has struggled with fertility issues since giving birth to her and Kody’s only daughter, Mariah, fifteen years ago. Meri has expressed her desire for more kids while watching wives 2 and 3 go on to have six kids apiece. And, you may remember, during the first season Kody said he was willing to try IVF with Meri, who replied that she was done with that part of her life.
So the question remains: will Meri take Robyn’s offer? I guess we’ll have to tune in next season…
Would you be a surrogate to a close friend or family member? Even though I have horrible pregnancies I absolutely would.
Why I Was A Surrogate Mother: 5 Women Share Their Stories
I think that it is interesting that it took 3 sister wives to find one that is willing to be a surrogate… I realize it is a difficult, selfless and amazing thing to do for anyone (surragacy), but if you are so close, like sisters, and having so many kids as the other 2 wives had, would it be so “out there” for one of them to ask to be a surrogate?
I can’t stand this tv show for the simple fact that i believe marriage is between one man and one woman. If you truly love the person you are married to, then that one person is enough for you, you don’t need a harem to be happy. Anyway, that’s besides the point. I do think it’s sad that out of all of his wives, it took the newest one to offer the first and legal wife another chance at being a mother.
I would definitely do it, but only for my sister or a REALLY close friend. Bascially if I were to be that child’s aunt. I don’t think I could do it, and then never see the baby again. But for my sister, I would absolutely do it.
