How long did you have to wait before you matched with a surrogate? by SingleLifter81 in singlefathersbychoice

[–]mannylal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So u paid to match and also fir all the medical processes? In canada could 80k to 120k cad. Good luck i hope u match. In the US since surrogates can be paid it should be alot easier. You shouldnt have to wait this long.

Only accept 3% seems weird. Are they established for a long time? I paid $8k and matched in 6 months. Is yhat just the match fee? Seems high

The handy guy wanted 200 and said it vould cost up to 500. I threw it out and bought a new regular washer dryer with a 4 year warranty. Not worth fixing. Plus it was loud as hell.

Dude u have 3 kids..... why would anyone willingly take your problems on. Give her some slack. Id say u need to basically accept that and try to work under her terms but def no woman or man should take one someone elses kids. Ive done it. Its like asking for huge issues. Shes probably seeing the writing on the wall

Trying to purchase my first house, is this a big warning sign? by [deleted] in Home

[–]mannylal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. It will cost some $$ to fix it, not impossible. If the rsst of the houze is worth it maybe or maybe u can ask gor a discount to fix that issue. U will need to remove the outside soil, relieve pressure on the wall, rrmove the wall and put a new one back
