My partner and I have twins who just turned two. We used an egg donor and a gestational surrogate. I gave up a career as a CPA to stay home with my kids and don't regret it at all. Having children has been a dream come true for me and I will be forever grateful to the two women (egg donor and surrogate) who made this possible. They are truly heroes. Our kids have no doubt who their parents are: daddy & papa.

Because so many hateful people have made it difficult for gay couples to adopt, I never considered adoption. With surrogacy, the children are biologically related to one of us and under our state laws the other part of a couple can be specified as the child's parent. Thus, only our names appear on the birth certificates.
