Center Families - gay parenting through surrogacy

[my1bighappyfamily]

I am a lesbian gestational surrogate hopefully pregnant with a baby for two men in Spain. There was never a question in my mind that I would help another gay couple one day conceive. My partner and I used a sperm donor to have a child and having our son has been the greatest adventure. Two loving parents make childrens live perfect, NOT only two straight parents. Families come in all shapes and sizes. Us gays just have to have more babies to submerge all the ignorance out there.

[EuropeanGuy87]

I think gay parents make better parents..because they are working so hard toward that specific goal..the legal attorney and all the journey only makes them cherish the gift of having a children even more. I mean all kids need a "mother/female figure" in their life.. and the grandmothers could easily fulfill that need...

[ziki1]

They have two loving parents, unlike other kids that have two absented parents that never knew them because they don't love them.

[menukjau]

End of the day kids do not care if their parents are man-woman, man-man or woman-woman, as long as they have a happy childhood with parents who love and care for them.

[SuperSoapopera]

Good Luck Guys...you doing an amazing Job!

[americaonaids]

Shame on anyone so ignorant that they feel like they can judge; period! If being gay is wrong that's for GOD to judge. I will say there are alot of straight parents who failed to love their children and because of that they grow up hating the world and being homophobic! True love comes from a place of thankfullness! Be thankful you have life and you have a roof over your head and food to eat... The rest is a perk you didn't have to recieve!

[cbrun67176]

You have no clue what it feels like to not have a mom or a dad gay or not they both bring very different things to children.Pretending that either dont matter is self serving nonsense!!

[cbrun67176]

That is sooooo not true.Gayness or straightness has nothing to do with parenting ability.

[TheSteelGeneral]

One can make a good argument that gays are better parents than straights. Often gays are kinder and more caring, they are less violent than the average straight family. They are more nurturing.

So, I don't get all this whining about missing mothers. Aren't you people the same who think that gays are girlie-men? Then what is your major malfunction???

[ofelixdacat]

@TheSteelGeneral Another point, when gays have a child, it's because they wanted one, no because it was an accident due to irresponsibility or lack of contraceptive use. It difficult for gay couples to have children, yet is very easy for heterosexuals to pop out children, then throw them away like trash, or mistreat and neglect them, and that is very sad.

[vivervite]

That's great! These two kids look like they are experiencing an excellent childhood. Keep it up!

[Ellz696]

Doesn't matter if gay couples have children, all children need is love and the needs to live. doesn't matter if it's 2 women or 2 guys. to be honest gay couples give MORE love to their children then straight couples. Straight or gay their still a family.

[magairene]

you don't have much of a choice if you're good ol ma don't want ya?!

[JemmzXX]

I think every kid needs its mother. Although these kids seem to have such a good life! thats all that matters!

[fifijojo69]

i think every child needs a mother figure and father figure. a mother figure doesn't have to be a biological mother but an auntie or a grandmother.

but i agree aslong as the child is happy and is loved then nothing else matters.

[LatinDelicious]

@JemmzXX

you are wrong, not every kid needs his mother, every kids needs supportive loving parents, regardless of their gender dude

[logos6F1H9L]

How is this "Great" and "Good" for the children when they will NEVER know the unimaginable joy and beauty of maternal motherhood? Is there ANY force greater in the universe than the love of a MOTHER for her child???? 2 surrogate fathers DO NOT equal 1 Maternal mother...never will. These two men are good people, but NOT what's best for these children...don't our children deserve the best??

[rondayan]

Why don't you reserve judgement until you know at least one family like ours? What you describe as "maternal" is not gender-specific. We provide our kids with much of this warm unconditional love, and we do not need your approval. However, it will be nice if you opened your mind. Have you never seen a cold neglectful mother? Can't you imagine a male as a primary care giver who goes on school trips, sooths a wound, hugs, kisses, saws torn stuffed animals, sings lullabies, etc.? That's sad.

[Max10192]

@rondayan i see a huge smile on those kids faces, so im guessing the love u give to those kids is more than enough

[LesRobeaux]

shut up logos, you have no idea how many orphan kids are out there, and what about single fathers or moms that don't care about their kids, that's a great family so shut up and reserve your judgement to yourself

[lookseeme21]

Just more religious crap. Keep your crap to yourself. we are tired of seeing your feces come out of your mouth, or is it that you have an inborn problem - your mouth and asshole reversed.

[death8kami]

you smell like poopie!

[lemonwasher]

@logos6F1H9L like those mothers who don't want their children/have unplanned sex and dump the babies? and you prefer those to these 2 men who took the time to decide and have these two children and love them and bring them up?

[sareenagreen2010]

@logos6F1H9L How do you know what's best for THEIR children? you don't.Life with a mom and a dad is NOT all what it's cracked up to be.You also over glorify motherhood almost to the point in which you admit mothers are the most important person in someones life.Once you learn a thing or two about life and not dwelling on situations that are not present, your mind will expand.I know many people from all family units.There is no one size fits all family.

[depfox]

nice job guys.

[ionhumanity]

I need to talk to someone who could help in my 3 year battle in Family Law regarding our common law marriage and my non biological child. It is a David vs Goliath scenario.

Upcoming precedent setting, media banned case...please help.

DH in Calgary, Alberta

Gay people who promote discrimination against other gay people...what is this world coming to?

Whats next an afro american president or equal rights for gays to marry?

[Sunray2live]

Does Gay Parenting Affect Children Differently?

[apfhorn]

no- if anything they seem to be more open to different lifestyles.

[Sunray2live]

Meaning they are more open to having a Gay relationship

[LatinDelicious]

@Sunray2live

no, it means they are more open to understand people are different, meaning they aren't prejudice. Gays exists, get over it and let them leave their own life. They have been here, they are here and they always be here. They can be parents, they can be good citizens, etc. That is what they learn.

[sareenagreen2010]

@Sunray2live The kids themselves are more accepting of gay relationships but no, being raised by gay parents doesn't increase the chance of them being gay.Remember, the majority of gay people come from straight parents.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Sunray, you can't teach a child to be gay, just like you can't teach a child to be straight. Being gay is not "contagious" or "catching." You can't magically become gay by spending time around gay people. Not that it should matter either way, but I grew up with two gay dads, and my brothers and I all turned out straight. I believe it's just the way that you're born.

[TheSteelGeneral]

rainbow, lol @ contagious! Let's all wonder too if straight is contagious? No, it ain't, neither is gayness. I guess gays are around 5, 10, 15 percent of ANY and EVERY population on Earth, including elephants.

I'd like to hear more about growing up with 2 gay dads, it's something is which is still rather unknown.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Steel, yeah, it's still uncommon to have gay dads. It's getting more common, but when I was little it was still pretty unusual. I'm always open to answer questions! That's the main reason I started my Youtube channel, basically to try to educate people. There are so many stereotypes and misinformation out there.

[AgainstProposition8]

Support all gays, bi's, and lesbians of all ages! We are a good community and we are all good people!

It's a terrible thing that Proposition 8 passed! But we keep on fighting because we are strong people!

GAY PRIDE!!!

[control2950]

good job 10+

[vanillapie]

I think its great that people who wouldn't otherwise be able to have families, are now able to have them.

[Jill1806]

Great video, I'm so happy for the 4 of you! :)

[Poohbl]

Great for you to get the word out there that gay parents can be good parents.

[nicofars]

Very informative Ron, we are only starting a process and being in the UK doesn't make it as easy for surrogacy but finger crossed.

It's great to see your happy family !
