what an excellent documentary on the 2 gay dads...10yrs on

[Bobbisox]

They faced prejudices from all areas, now they have another two new babies to care for, their older kids seem well adjusted and happy, they have a Dad and a Daddy, anyone else watch it?

[4getmenot]

I know children should know how babies are made etc but found it odd when they sat them down and said 'right the embryos have been planted into the uterus' Everything else was no shock really, bound to be lots of kids with 2 mummies or 2 daddies nowadays

[Bobbisox]

I agree with you 4 get on that part, but stuck up parents at the kids posh school, objecting to one of them playing a fairy godmaother was a bit ott, especially when the thought it would be fine for a hetro to have done it!

[4getmenot]

Did you get the feeling the girl isnt so happy about it all?

[Bobbisox]

yes I did , Saffron?
seems she may have issues in the future, she seems to have a chip on her shoulder even now

[boxtops]

I only watched a bit of it, I switched over to Dragons Den for a bit of pre-bedtime viewing.

[Bobbisox]

it was very interesting I thought, boxy

[4getmenot]

I switched over to dragons den too. But saw the start and end, the way she said she doesnt want children etc. And I find it a bit wrong that they chose a mother from her looks. Some people that arent so blessed can have beautiful children, some beautiful people have ugly babies.

[Bobbisox]

he was very cynical about that 4get, but I thought they had a lot to give the kids

[poodicat]

Its boring now,this gay couple have milked this several times..

[boxtops]

.. and, not being funny, they are millionaires, so they can afford to give the children the best. Not that this should make a difference but I am sure it does, if they poor as church mice they might have found life more difficult, and they probably couldn't have afforded the surrogate mothers in the first place. I hope that doesn't sound judgemental but I do feel it makes a difference.

[Bobbisox]

it was a first when they did it 10 yrs ago, I think it will be the various TV companies that go after them, they are millionaires in their own right poodi

[4getmenot]

not at all boxtops, I agree they have the money to do it, some people arent so lucky. I'm wondering if I dont get my babies how much it would cost as I may never be able to afford it

[poodicat]

Know that bobbi

[Bobbisox]

money talks I'm afraid and it always will

[poodicat]

Agree bobbi

[Dris]

I posted a thread in Media & TV (silly me lol )

[Bobbisox]

I hate to see the cheque book waverers poodi, I would love to see childess couples given the same chance,.,,free, but that wont happen

[annie0000]

Well, the did say that they are going to give away the extra embryos. I wonder if that will only be to other gay couples?
