Hunt's catch-up
(or: "getting the newbies up to speed")
Some of you who have just learned about our great news are still a little fuzzy about the details. Here in a nutshell is what's going on:
Morley and I have always wanted to have children and for several years have been exploring the possibilities. After looking into local and international adoption (and being disheartened by the downsides and our very limited range of possibilities), we decided on surrogacy. With the help of a wonderful agency in California called Growing Generations, we selected an anonymous egg donor and were matched with a surrogate. Our donor is intelligent, beautiful and sweet-natured. Our surrogate, Becki, (who is also intelligent, beautiful and sweet-natured) lives with her husband and teenage son in Ohio. We are blessed to have found two such amazing women to help us create our family. So far, the pregnancy has gone extremely well. In fact, it's been textbook-perfect; better than anyone could have hoped for. We plan to temporarily move down to Becki's area starting the first of October to be on hand for the birth of our twin sons.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: So who is the father?
A: We both are. Our children have two equal parents.
Q: Yeah, but who is the real father?
A: Biologially speaking, one or the other (obviously). Legally speaking, please refer to our previous answer.
Q: When will you be able to take the babies?
A: There is no "handover" of the children. Our twins will be ours from the moment of birth. We can take the twins home as soon as the doctor says they are okay to leave the hospital.
Q: Aren't you afraid that Becki will change her mind and want to keep the babies?
A: No.
Q: Are you going to raise the twins to be gay?
A: That's not humanly possible. If you'd like to know what the experts say, try this link -- http://www.apa.org/pi/parent.html or this link http://www.psych.org/edu/other_res/lib_archives/archives/200214.pdf
Q: Have you picked out any names yet?
A: Yes! We have two wonderful sets of names ready. For the meantime, however, we're keeping them a secret. A little mystery is a good thing.
