    We loved taking part in this, telling our story and raising awareness about the Surrogacy journey. There's still a long way to go in the UK but hopefully more and more people watch this and see what's actually possible. This is a movement and one I want to continue promoting as more LGBTQ people become parents. Appreciate the lovely comments. Michael, Wes and Talulah.

      Micheal Johnson-Ellis because of this documentary I want to become a surrogate and because I knew after my first that i wanted to help people like you and your partner to become parents and to have the right to become parents no one should tell any gay couple that they have no right to be parents and i feel so sorry that there is still stigma around gay couples becoming parents and I have the up right pleasure to know that there is people out there like yourself that have stood up and say that I am in a same sex relationship with a child who was brought here be a surrogate mother

    I was a ward of the court after my mother died and in foster care. I felt like no one cared about me until I was informally adopted by a gay couple.I met him at my first job at 16 yrs old. They were so good to me and I will love them forever. I'm a better person for having them in my life. A good parent is a person that guides and protects you through life. I don't see how gender matters.

    I'm 15 and for the majority of my life I've been abused by mother. She often used the excuse that she gave birth to me as a reason to hate me and hit me. My dad was the one who raised me and loved me but he waa at work so he couldn't always protect me. If I had a second dad I would not care as long as he loved me and raised me instead of hitting me. It doesn't matter what gender they are, as long as they love you the child will feel safe and love you back. I do not love my biological mother, so I really only have 1 parent.

    Just because a straight couple can have their own biological children it doesn't mean they should ,
    And just because a gay couple can't have their own biological children it doesn't mean they shouldn't medical science has come so far
    There are children who need good homes

      YES. When my friend announced that she was adopting a child, somebody in her church immediately said, “oh, I’m sorry!” - they assumed she couldn’t have kids purely because she wanted to give a child who needed one a loving home. As a lesbian who’s planning to adopt, I really hope the world changes quickly so that my children never have to wonder whether they’re just second best.

I never dreamed about beeing a mother and having children really scares me but I always felt bad because I'm healthy and I should be so lucky that I can conceive a baby. But I can't help that I don't really have a motherly instinct. the actual pregnancy doesn't scare me and I'm really good with pain and now I feel like maybe that was my purpose in life. I'm not meant to be a mother but I could give a baby to a couple who can't have one.

      It's true, the process is clinical and even a bit strange when it's happening. But the moment you find out it worked, it's like the how never even happened. Because ultimately, it does come from a place of love. I speak from experience and I can honestly say, when I look at my daughter I never think about how she came to be only that I can't imagine my life without her.

      While you struggle to answer that question, maybe you'll realise that is wasn't ever a choice, you were born that way. It's exactly the same for people that are attracted to people of the same sex.
      Drop the hate, it doesn't get you anywhere in life. Let people love who they want. A child doesn't need a mum and a dad, a large portion of children only have one parent and they turn out to be just fine. A child needs to be loved.

    You are two beautiful men with two beautiful babies; hearts full of love for them and each other; great dedication for the long haul ahead. All children should be so lucky! As far as acceptance goes, I heard an expression that said: "Those who matter don't mind and those who mind, don't matter." The greatest gift you can give your children is complete LOVE as unconditionally as possible in this life. Lots of hugs and kisses; telling them OFTEN you love them; that they are a joy to you; and you are proud of them always, no matter what. Make them feel safe, loved and very valuable and they will turn out all right and so will you! The world is sometimes a painful place, but these two little ones will outshine all that pain in your lives and they will become great sources of love in a world that desperately needs all it can get. Don't know you personally, but wish I did, and love you admirably from afar. I wish you and the children all the very best and will keep you always in my prayers. God has blessed you both greatly; be always thankful and show that thanks in all the love and sacrifices you make for your children and to all loving people of good will everywhere. Bless you all!!!

It's 2019 the world has changed and some people are so small minded. The babies r amazing and well done it's clear to see they will be great parents.

    A parent is anyone who LOVES and PROTECTS a child. I had a biological father and biological mother but neither was a PARENT. Both were hate-filled and mean. I did not mourn my biological father when he died at 86, nor will I mourn my mother who is still alive at 100 as they were monsters in my eyes. I will love my husband and if we ever have children, that being doubtful as I am almost 75 and he is almost 55, we will give them the love we never had when we grew up. Our marriage of 21 years shows us that two people can love each other and be faithful to one another--a reality neither set of parents had having their marriages end in divorce and infidelities. Cesar and I will never let that happen as we have total communication and do everything together.

    • @inspiringer6418

      Same but only my biological mother was the horrible abuse one. I don't love her even though she gave birth to me. I don't even consider her my mom, I only have 1 parent and that is my dad. I am 15 and when I was younger I grew up accepting and not finding it strange that my dad and my bio mom did not love eachother. I didn't need a mom back then, I needed a parent who wouldn't abuse me to the point of attempting suicide. I didn't care if it was a man or a woman, as long as they loved me.

    • @arthurfrederickide3605
      @arthurfrederickide3605 4 роки тому +1

      @@inspiringer6418 stay strong! I share your pain. Love does not come from biology or gender. It generates in an open and giving and loving and self-actualizing heart. My own mother is now over 100 and just as hateful as ever so her legally defined status means nothing (my only true joy is I have not seen the witch for move than 20 years). My relatives are the same and can roast in the hottest corner of hell. My husband and I have each other and a few friends who accept us as married and that does not bother them for they know we will last together and we are fortunate that Cesar has a brother (Dante) who knows and accepts us both as does his wife and children. Be of good cheer as you will create the family you never had with your biological mother and please remember her mistakes and do not commit them when you love another person. Gender is irrelevant.

  • @diefenbaker7853
    @diefenbaker7853 7 років тому +38

    FYI: I left this message in reply to someone that disapproves of the act of surrogacy and commented that disapproval here.
    I chose to post it as a main reply as well as a reply to their hate filled comment.
    My reply:
    I have a question for you. You say these men are misogynist because the found a woman that was willing to carry (surrogate) these babies for them.
    Do you feel that a heterosexual couple who cannot conceive or carry babies to term are misogynist if they have a woman carry babies for them?
    If at the time of birth the surrogate turns over the child(ren) to this heterosexual couple and the surrogate has no contact or limited contact with the child(ren) do you find this wrong equally to a homosexual couple?
    If you answer that being a surrogate for a heterosexual couple that cannot conceive or cannot carry a baby to term is different than a surrogate that carries a baby(s) for a gay couple then you are homophobic and a bigot because you have double standards.
    A woman that donates/sells her eggs or is a surrogate mom is one of the greatest gifts I can imagine.
    I would think that a woman would know herself well enough to know whether she is capable of giving this gift well in advance of her decision to donate egg (s) or surrogate.
    Also it has to be included in this plan of a non relative egg donor giving eggs and a sibling, mother or female relative being the surrogate for two men or a heterosexual couple.
    I remember a few years back a story of a woman that had cancer in her reproductive organs, she was not able to get pregnant or carry a baby. Her sister donated eggs (fertilized by the womans husband) and her mother carried the baby to term. In your theory this would be a double negative as the egg donor sees her child being raised by her sister - aunt and the surrogate (mother) sees the child she carried raised by her daughter.
    I see the love of a sister and mother giving the "mother" a child that she could not have without assistance.
    I believe you would change your opinion if your daughter or daughter in law or your gay son couldn't have a child and chose surrogacy as their way of having children. I can't imagine a grandparent not wanting their grandchild because of their archaic belief.
    I get the impression by your comment that you have more of a problem with two men fathering and raising a baby than you do with surrogacy.
    In the end it doesn't matter, these two children will grow up in a home knowing how much their fathers wanted and loved them despite all the odds against it.
    These children will know their egg donor loved them enough to give them life.
    These children will know that a stranger loved them enough to give the life as well.
    Unfortunately these children will know that some people would prefer they not exist rather than have their archaic beliefs questioned.
    And finally all that matters is LOVE IS LOVE and in this case LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE meaning egg donor love, surrogate love, dad love & daddy love.

      Michelle McKeon As a gay man myself, I totally agree that same sex parents are just as good as straight parents and love is love. But as a child who was raised by a single mother, I do have to disagree with the rest of your post. My mom was awesome when I was growing up. She worked a full time job and still made time for me at the same time. I don't think any one way is any better than another. As long as a child is loved then that is all that counts. I share your excitement about this video. It is amazing!! Those babies are adorable.

      Please don't try to praise one family arrangement by bringing down another. A single parent can be all a child needs, as long as they are loved and cared for properly. In my opinion, it doesn't matter by how many or what types of people raise a child as long as that child is well loved.

My great-aunt and her wonderful husband helped my young divorced mom raise four of us while she worked - sometimes two and three jobs. My skirt-chasing father disappeared and never sent the alimony/child support ordered by the court. It wasn't until I was an adult that I fully appreciated and understood what they did for us by forgoing having children of their own. For that matter, It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized we were "poor". As far as my brothers and I were concerned, we never lacked anything - and certainly never lacked love!

    I am soooo happy for you and your husband. I am a South African, I'm 30 years old. I became a dad in 2003 when I was only 15 years old. it was tought. I only realised that I was gay round about the age of 17. I have a boyfriend for 9 years alredy. he loves my girl to bits. He is a dentist, but may not even work in her mouth coz her mom and their family dislike him. they say the are ok with me being gay but i should stay selebate. Can you belive that. My daughter loves me and my boyfriend. Her mom did marry and her stepfather is a graet guy. I could not have asked for a better stepdad for my girl, seeiously. My girl is 14 years old now, a teenager. And lets face it, thats when they are the most difficult. But she loves me and my boyfriend to bits. U always her her brag that she has 3 dads. She is not ashamed at all that her dad is gay. And usally teenagers would try to hide that from there friends, not my girl. I am so proud of her. It is legal for us samesex coupels to get married in South Africa and it is a big NO NO to disgriminate in our countey. But still in these times people can be cruel. my doughter does not get bullied at all for having a gay dad. seems that our younger generation accepts our live style better. It is funny how some of the older people cant make peace with it. my daughter tells me her mom and their side of the family tell her every day that she should stop comming to visit me. ( she stays with her). But i am actually lucky. Kieron I wish you and your husband the best for the futere. Those twins are only going to be a joy in your lifes.

    They let a baby go out of a hospital with a single mother (I am a single mother), but they are iffy about letting 2 capable, loving parents walk out with their own babies. Not that I'm putting down single parents, because I am one, and i was from conception till present time with a 4yr old daughter, but seriously, 2 dads would be amazing. 2 men to protect their child with everything they have. Now that's something if you ask me. Anyway. Lots of love. Xoxo. Stay safe everyone.

    Love, security, and acceptance is all children require to grow up to be healthy, happy humans♥️. They don’t need a mother, they don’t need a father....they need a parent and anyone can fill that role as long as they can give the 3 things above.

    I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER for you two dad/daddy's!!! You are BRILLIANT together you four!!! It does my heart so good to know that you have made it this far and it is getting better and hopefully more and more accepting for LGBT' couples to love and be loved, by lovers, partners, children, parents, everything. Why should we not want everytone to have equality in love and families? I have seen that the gay parents I know work harder and are doing an almost better job than we are!!! Well done, you!!! Be happy! Be well! Prove them wrong!!!! And enjoy your little family!!! Much love and xxxxxxxx, your friend!!
