  • This is the story of how a gay couple who have been together for 11 years, end up being dads. Frustrated in their attempts to adopt a child in England, they decide to put money where biology can't help them and turn to surrogacy in the States. Within this narrative is embedded the wider story of the couple, Barrie and Tony: the childhood and extended family on a working-class estate; the gay scene where they met; the move south to become millionaires; their struggle to adopt and foster; the search for the perfect mothers; the lows and highs of trying to conceive. This is a powerful human story that deals with major contemporary issues involving the family, parenting, and prejudice.

    I have carried 5x. Two sets of twins, set of triplets and 3 singles. Carrying as a surrogate was one of the most amazing and rewarding times in my life. My first surrogacy was right around this time.

    I totally agree with Barrie when he said, *"It's just another way to keep a group minority down!"*
    Beyond true!
    Also the minute I listened to Roslin's husband Chris, talk about "their conditions" in order to carry the babies… I knew there was gonna be problems later down the line.

    I love this story so much and I'm so happy that in the end they were able to make their family complete. They should not have been discriminated against at all. People need to allow those four people to live their life happy. And the children have a right to a peaceful upbringing not being hounded by the press or put down in newspapers. Beautiful babies the guys are adorable and I love the egg donor I forgot her name. God bless you and your beautiful little family.

      Yeah, that sounds pretty awful if that's all you took away from the story. Tony is dying after cancer treatments turned on him, he might have 4-5 years? He loves Barrie, will always love Barrie and still lives with Barrie because of this. They're a modern blended family, might not be your cup of tea, but it is theirs.

    Now the holy anger of God is disclosed from Heaven against the godlessness and evil of those men who render truth dumb and inoperative by their wickedness. It is not that they do not know the truth about God; indeed he has made it quite plain to them. For since the beginning of the world the invisible attributes of God, e.g. his eternal power and divinity, have been plainly discernible through things which he has made and which are commonly seen and known, thus leaving these men without a rag of excuse. They knew all the time that there is a God, yet they refused to acknowledge him as such, or to thank him for what he is or does. Thus they became fatuous in their argumentations, and plunged their silly minds still further into the dark.

    We see the problem with a gay relationship it is not procreative as god intended it to be another reason why it is unmatural
