CBN.com -- QUESTION: I feel led by the Lord to help infertile couples and have recently finished a successful surrogacy. I would like to do more. This seems to be causing a great deal of controversy and other people are saying my actions are an act of adultery. Since I did not engage in sexual activity, is being a surrogate adultery?

PAT ROBERTSON: Surrogate is the idea that you implant an embryo. Is that what I am hearing? Is that what surrogate means?

KRISTI WATTS: That is what I am thinking. Couple A can't have a child, so this woman will have a child for them.

PAT ROBERTSON: That is what I think she is talking about. She isn't talking about the fact that your wife can't conceive, so I will take her place. There isn't anything wrong with that. Look back at Abraham and Sarah. Sarah says, 'I can't have a child. I am infertile. Take my maidservant and you have a child by her.' That apparently was OK. In our way of looking at things, that would have been adultery. In terms of having an embryo implanted where you take a child to term, this must be very, very hard on a person emotionally to feel that child within them and feel all of the quickening of life, to give birth, and then give the child away. That's what I think you are talking about. That is a sacrifice. To say it is a sin would be terrible. There is certainly nothing sinful about it.
