Baby Buyer

Term referring to a person (typically a privileged gay man, though not exclusively) who, by personal conviction or agreement with their partner, exploits surrogacy ("womb leasing") in a deeply selfish or exploitative manner. Their primary motivation is to fulfill their desire for parenthood (whether immediate or future) without properly considering the physical, emotional, social, or economic well-being of the surrogate mother before, during, or after the pregnancy.

Ugh, another wealthy influencer flying to Ukraine for cheap surrogacy. Dude's not even hiding his baby buyer vibes – zero mention of the surrogate's healthcare or aftercare. Just flexing his 'dad journey'.
