re: How I Met Your Mother

What if the mother is a surrogate? That way the "met the mother" part could be meeting the surrogate for having their kids

That would really cheapen the show, and I also don't think it would fit with Ted's character. If Robin was their biological mother, in that she provided the eggs, I would think Ted would go through great lengths to make sure that Robin is always referred to as the mother and the surrogate as the surrogate. Calling Robin "Aunt Robin" also doesn't fit because she is actually their mother. It would really belittle Robin to call everyone by their titles in your scenario.
