I think there are several different arguments going on here simultaneously. I do not argue that since tali is in love with shepard, she would never find a surrogate father. I argue that her telling shepard that she is pregnant by surrogate AFTER THE FACT is ludicrously out of character for her. She would never do anything like that unless she was sure shep wanted her to.
Finding a surrogate father has nothing to do with love, and doesn't even imply directly "doing the deed". Obviously when both parties are fertile AND compatable, this wouldn't be needed and they could go about their own baby-making business. They're not. Ask just about any parent who's gone through the a.i. process because of complications, they still consider it
their kid even if it's not their genetic material.
But yeah, I don't think she'd go off and get it done without consulting Shepard first.
... and that's about as in-depth as I'm willing to go today.
