Questions And Answers On The Orthodox Faith ![]() MORE ON SURROGATE MOTHERS QUESTION: Glory to Jesus Christ! Reverend Father! Would attending the Sacrament of Baptism of a baby born of a surrogate mother be condoning this act? The proud parents are not keeping this a private affair. Anonymous +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Friend, While I sympathize with your predicament, why penalize the baby? If anything, a child born into a topsy turvy family situation needs good Orthodox role models to counteract the nonsense of his/her "parents". Concentrate on being a positive role model for the child - an example of Orthodox Christianity as it is called to be lived. Leave the judging of the parents up to God. I hope you found this answer to be helpful. Father Peter Paproski |
