[quote=Anonymous]That is very interesting if it is true.  My fiance and I were just talking about this the other day.  Do you want your partner to carry your child for legal reasons in case of a break up? Sorry if that question is offensive but I am genuinely curious, have a gay parent, and am very pro gay parenting in general. Why not carry your own child/egg to term and have her do the same? Would that not be possible to do at SG? 
In truth, it ISNT medically necessary but I think I do understand why a lesbian couple would choose this in case of a break up if that is your reasoning. Keep in mind though that gay men do not have this option and although they can have multiple children who are biologically connected to both of them, it still would get complicated in the wrong hands with a bad break up. I have many friends who are gay in this situation and I have never asked them what if anything they have done to protect their legal rights as parents.  I dont think it is my place to ask them this even though it has occurred to me - I am just happy for them and wish them the best never knowing what the biological connections to the children are.  But I imagine all of this is very thought through. I do have a gay client who divulged to me that their plan was to use his sperm with his partner's cousin so that they were both connected.  They are still TTC...
Good luck finding the right place and situation for you and yours.  [/quote]
