*was discussing this with some other staff members*
The surrogacy/lovemate form isn't restricted to same sex couples/mini+reg couples, so it could be used.
Quote: When a lifemated couple, or group, that usually cannot breed is ready to have children, they often need a surrogate. This is the form you will post when you've found a surrogate, and are ready to enter raffles. Think of this as an approved selective permission breeding form. These aren't kept or logged, so it is up to you, the owner, to keep track of these consent forms, and use them during the appropriate breeding raffles.
But the life-mate perks:
Quote: • Receive a bonus to their roll for a possible 3rd basket • Are eligible for entry in any 'life-mates' category of breeding events These are only applicable to those that are breeding with their life-mates.
To go further from the above, since the LM perks only come if you're breeding with the LM, there technically doesn't have to be an OOC LMing if you do the LM ICly.
/hopes this helps a bit

Honestly I'd be fine with that, too. It just seems unfair and completely against the "equality" measure for lifemating to have any bonuses* that traditional couples have that nontraditional don't get access to while still being bound to the "rules" of lifemating. The only other caveat/question that would remain is what about "lifemate" slots in breeding raffles (which most colorists don't do anyway).
But at that point, why even have a Lifemates list at all? If there's going to be no benefit shop wise, why waste the NCS time and effort to maintain a list that's just a repository of "Hey, these Soqs are married now" when you can chose (or not) to have monogamous/loyal relationships strictly based on RP?
Honestly, I'm kind of leaning towards getting rid of Lifemating altogether, at least from a shop perspective. Sure, you can still RP your monogamous/loyal couples all you want, but it would alleviate all the nasty "surrogate" business. If there's NOT going to be any benefit that's given to ALL dedication/loyal couples (traditional or not) then it just seems like extra bureaucracy.
*other than the fact that nontraditional couples can never have true genetic children, which is the inherent "benefit' of having traditional couples. Without breaking the real life setting of the shop, which I'm not suggesting we do, Wishing Stars/customs will always be the only way nontraditional couples can get children that are truly a "genetic" (markings/features) mix of the parents
