Me and my husband have been married two years now and have two kids a peice, but none together. My tubes are tied can I get a surrogate with my tubes tied

I'm somewhat confused by your post, but let me see if I can answer your question. (I'll go through different scenarios in case I've misunderstood.)
If you are asking if you can BECOME a surrogate mother with your tubes tied, then YES, you can become a gestational surrogate, but not a traditional surrogate.
If you are asking if you can USE a gestational surrogate mother with your tubes tied, well, you can USE a surrogate mother for any reason, whether your tubes are tied or not.
You are able to do an egg retrieval to go through IVF when your tubes are tied, if that is what you are asking. Which leads me to the question, why not just go through IVF for yourself, instead of using a surrogate mother? If there is no medical reason for you to need a surrogate other than the fact that you've had your tubes tied, then you should be able to have your own baby via IVF.
If there is a medical need for a surrogate, you can still have your own biological child, even with your tubes tied, assuming you have good quality
I hope this answer was what you were looking for.
Best wishes!

Answering Deborah. NEW by: Rayven from Information on Surrogacy
Deborah,
It is not recommended that you become a surrogate mother if you wish to have more children of your own. You could, in the course of helping someone else, lose your ability to ever have any more children. You could lose one or both your ovaries, or even your uterus. It happens once in a while.
If the entire purpose of you becoming a surrogate is to obtain the finacing for IVF for yourself, it does not make sense to risk your fertility in this way.
Yes, other surrogates go on to have more children at a later time, but not too many go into surrogacy with the desire to afford IVF for themselves later. Too risky.

Surrogacy and Tubal LigationNEW by: Deborah
I would love to be a surrogate, but there is a purpose to why I want to be a surrogate. Not only do I want to give someone the opportunity to have a child that cannot traditionally, I am also hoping that it would help me out in obtaining a child for me. My husband and I have been married since 2007 and do not have children of our own, I have 2 daughters from my previous marriage and I had them when I was very young. I didn't think I would ever end up divorced or remarrying, so I had my tubes tied. Well, divorce happened, remarriage happened, and my husband does not have any children. It's not a requirement, we want a child together and I want the opportunity to try again the right way now that I'm older. I'm now 35 years old, in good health, and would like to try. Financially speaking, we have enough to raise a child properly, but not enough to have a tubal reversal and putting ourselves into debt to do it doesn't seem a very logical approach. I think the compensation for surrogacy would come in very handy to help with that, either in choosing IVF or tubal reversal for my own pregnancy. What do you think?

Meant to say... by: Rayven from Information on Surrogacy
At the end there I meant to say "assuming you have good quality eggs". Sorry about that! The best to you!
