Making babies in poly families.

nice_cpl_n_bama · 06-05-2007, 10:04 PM

Hello all,
Have any of you ever heard of people forming a poly family to have children? If so, did it work out?
Laurie and I love children but we were never able to have any due to her endless female troubles. She had to have a hysterectomy last year so its "game over" on babies of our own.
We are toying with the idea of finding a fertile female to join our family, bring any children she has, and make a few more. We will have no trouble providing physical and emotional support for children and another partner.
Is this an unusual desire within the poly community? Has this been tried succesfully, or has it been proven to be a bad idea?
Thanks,
Jeff and Laurie

Its proven to be a very bad idea.

Picture it from the other side. You want someone else to come in, give birth to your child, and raise it. You want an unpaid nanny. :-) this will attract either single mothers that do not want to work, or someone probably unstable that will take your child and run with it (and probably win custody, due to the situation).

Searching for a third while a couple is hard enough. Searching for someone that wants to bear your children? 100 times harder. Asking someone to come into a 20 year marriage, and they will always feel like the third wheel.

(All of this my opinion, and of course there are exceptions. But, they are very very very hard to find, and I cannot think of any off the top of my head in the poly/swinging community. Better luck with mormons :-)

I wouldn't rule it out. Of course, the LOVE has to be there first, then children can follow. I know of some blended families like that.

If you just want someone to bear your children, get a surrogate or adopt.

I would think that using this as a tool to solve your want for children problem is wrong. Having kids with someone in a poly relationship is one matter, but bringing someone in for the sole purpose of having kids seems like you are using them to me. If you find someone and love them, though, I don't see why it would be a big deal.
