I'm a 35 year old lifelong lesbian AND PROUD OF IT! My wife and I have been together for over a year now, and we discuss children in our future. We love each other as much as any gay or hetero couple can love each other. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 33 because o a bleeding problem, so she would be the one to give us children. It's been proven that children raised by gay/lesbian couples do not turn out to be any more dysfunctional than children raised by heterosexuals. Nor do they automatically beome gay themselves! It's all about the love and care between parent and child that makes healthy children who become healthy adults. I would love to see a lot less of the ignorance, fear and bigotry that is plugged into the minds of children raised by homophobic parents. My own father is a baptist minister (who disapproves of me), but I'm proud of who I am. It may take something from a male and a female to create a human child, but gay/lesbian parents raise healthy children who become beautiful, intelligent, loving adults.

Hi There... I am in the same boat, that one day i would like to become a daddy. Why? because there are so many emotions, responsibilities, rewards, and it is an honour to raise a child. Just because im gay shouldnt mean i should be deprived of this experience. My only thing is, i would consider fatherhood after going out with a guy for a good couple of years and had a committmenet ceremony, if by the time im 27 and single, i will go into fatherhood alone, as a single gay man, and i would like the mother to be around, or some female role model (even if i were in a relationship) and i would cut down on my sexual urges. being a father, i wouldnt want my child being witness to the many partner or sex partners a gay man can have. i would rater it be one, for the long term, or a couple once every blue moon.

There have been many times when i have gone down to the department store and got clucky over the amount of baby things they have. especially when one of my ex's and i were going out. we actually put thought into surrogacy, but when he was diagnosed with depression, our relationship started to crumble.

So many things come to mind, when it comes to babies.
Ideally i would like to do it the surrogacy way, as i would like my baby to have some resemblence to me.

thanks, nick
