Men want kids on their own

A GROWING number of men are tackling fatherhood on their own, turning to overseas surrogates to create their "dream" families.
Support group Surrogacy Australia said single men were longing to be dads and were not deterred by a commercial surrogacy ban brought in during 2010 to curb the exploitation of poor women.
Jake Docker, 27, last week brought home his three-week-old twin daughters Pippa and Millie, born to an Indian surrogate on January 8.
"I just wanted to be a dad as long as I could remember," the public servant from Petersham said. Mr Docker said he had not broken the law because he began the process before the state ban on commercial surrogacy came into effect.

Gay marriage opponents plan to fight paid surrogacy in 2013

A leader of the effort to defeat same-sex marriage in Washington is gearing up for a 2013 legislative fight against paid surrogacy.
Surrogacy is the idea that a woman will carry a child to term with the understanding that it will be raised by other parents.Surrogate contracts are generally allowed in our state, but contracts for compensation beyond basic expenses are prohibited. Washington's Uniform Parentage Act makes it clear that "No person, organization, or agency shall enter into, induce, arrange, procure, or otherwise assist in the formation of a surrogate parentage contract, written or unwritten, for compensation."Surrogates in Washington now may be compensated only for direct expenses, such as medical or legal bills.Several legislators tried to change the law in 2011, but a measure that would have allowed for a more generous compensation of surrogates failed.

Who's Mom? Legally, biologically, it's no easy answer

In a classic 1960 children's book, a baby bird toddles up to one critter after another asking, "Are you my mother?"
For some babies today, there's no simple answer - biologically or legally.
Advances in artificial reproductive technologies, mean a baby could have three "mothers" - the genetic mother, the birth mother and the intended parent, who may be a woman or a man.
Mother here may not be mother there. Mother now may not be mother later. Statutes on surrogacy, adoption, divorce and inheritance vary state by state, court by court, decision by decision. For non-traditional couples, the patchwork of laws makes it even more complex. New York allows gay marriage but forbids surrogacy, while Utah permits surrogacy but bans gay marriage.

Irish, single, gay, 50-year-old in New York on deciding to have a family with a surrogate

Irish New York resident Kevin Moran is a 50-year-old single gay man, who can add a new job description to his already successful resume - father.

Moran didn't adopt, preferring to play a biological role in his children's lives by means of egg donation and surrogacy.

This week the happy father spoke to the Irish Times, as he cradled eight-week-old son Ari as his fraternal twin Beau sat close by, in the safe hands of his live-in nanny.

Moran, who lives on the Upper West Side, plans return to work shortly, after much needed paternity leave. Meanwhile he is still settling the boys into their routines and finding his own equilibrium after two unexpectedly dramatic months.

Age of the 'gayby' arrives in South Florida, finally

Couples pushing strollers. Play dates at the park. Daddy get-togethers for Sunday brunch.

South Florida's gay community has taken on a distinctly family-oriented feel these days — two years after a landmark state appeals court ruling threw out Florida's 33-year-old ban on gay adoption. And rushing in to offer resources and support is a growing crop of parenting blogs, family-fun events and grow-your-family seminars.

Welcome to the age of the "gayby," South Florida.
