The media almost always concentrates on the female side of infertility treatments. That makes sense, of course. When talking about in vitro fertilization and difficulty with conceiving, we're basically talking about a woman getting pregnant. The issue may or may not have to do with the man who may or may not be in her life ... but she's the focus.
This is not that kind of story.
This is the story of two men and the family that they have started together as a result of their experiences in working with an infertility doctor. The Cincinnatti Post reports on a gay couple who have just had a baby through the use of a surrogate.
So which one of them is the biological dad? They don't know. The surrogate's eggs were fertilized with the sperm from both men so that they can truly feel like equal parents in the relationship. Right now they're probably just feeling equally exhausted - after all, they've got a newborn to raise!
Question of the Day: If you were in the same type of relationship, would you consider the dual-sperm-donor option in having a baby?
