Comments for Equal rights for children of same-sex parents http://www.gayinwa.com.au Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:47:27 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.gayinwa.com.au/index.php?option=com_content"&"task=view"&"id=700"&"Itemid=230#pc_422 I'm really not sure how to access a forum on this site, however this article looks like a good place to start. I'm married to a wonderful man (second time lucky) and I have two beautiful children from my first marriage. My hubby is the most amazing step dad and loves my girls, however he would dearly love a biological child of his own. We have tried IVF for four years however unfortunately we have not been successful. We are now trying to open our mind to other ways for him "to be a dad". Our thoughts were to find a gay couple who would love to have a child and would usually source an annonymous sperm donor, however we are aware this can be difficult. We feel knowing the sperm donor has many advantages. It's sort of like part time parenting with two loving families. At present my girls go to their dads two nights per week and every second weekend. This leaves us with quality time together as a couple. We feel by fining a suitable couple "to share a baby" with is no different to separated parents who share custody. I really do hope I'm making sense here as it's very difficult to get our thoughts in writing. We would be so grateful to hear from anyone who is interested in chatting further. Obviously there are soooooooooo many considerations and this can all be discussed should you wish to contact us. Looking forward to hearing from you! Love Leanne :) x Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:52:20 +0100
