Hi, I found your response and wish you the best. I am an experienced surrogate. I am ready to be matched with a couple. I am working with SPCT in Dallas, Texas. If you are interested in using me as a surrogate, I'd be pleased to meet with you. You would simply contact SPCT at Phone: 214-742-6222 and ask about experienced surrogate "L.F." in West Texas. Thanks!

Sun, 04 May 2008 09:29:45 -0700

My partner and I have been together 10 years, she has not had the chance to experence the wonderful feeling of motherhood, but I have I have raised a daughter and she is 33 a college graduate, married and very happy.
I would love to have the chance to give a child a chance for a loving and careing home. WE can make a difference in a childs life and a chance to make it in this world as a well rounded adult.

Hi. I read your post and

Hi. I read your post and while my partner and I are working through surrogacy to become parents, we read a book titled, "Gay Dads" by David Strah. The book is a compilation of stories of families that came about by adoption, foster care, surrogacy, marriage (and then divorce) and yes, co-parenting (pg 77, "a fatherhood not by design"). I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and I think it could provide a bit of insight for you. Good luck.

We are all the same!!!!

I am a lesbian living in a small town of southeast Arkansas. I have been gay as long as I can remember. I have a wonderful partner of 10 years, and have been accepted by our community. Though this life style may not be accepted by all people,it is our life to live! The sadness causing heartache in the world is not because of same sex couples and teir dream of only being treated as equal,it is the people that want to make decisions for us. In case they are not aware, that is considerd passing judgement. One sin is no greater than the other, and we are ALL well aware of our faults. So... Mr. Cox, who are you? What skeletons are in your closet? Have you ever sinned? The answer is yes! You do it everytime you get on T.V. trying to push your values and beliefs on the world by portraying to have all the answers. The truth is that you would rather a child remain in the system and feel unloved until someone decides to addopt them. Or that a child needs a mother and father to be complete as a person. Did you have both parents growing up? Was your father always around? I came from a broken home, were my parents decided not to subject me to their fighting. So I was raised by my mother with as much love as both parents combined. To here your rediculous speechs on banning all gay rights, you would rather a child have no parents than two loving, and stable people that could give a child a wonderful life, even if they are two women! You would rather a child be put into a microwave, or dishwaher, or three children be thrown off a bridge, but hey they had a mom and a dad! People like you are the reason for the sadness and misery in the world, we know who we are. No matter how hard you push for your ban, it only makes us stronger, and you may be able to change the law, but you will never change us! We are a growing community of people who are created equal!!!!!!!!!

rainbowlaw.com is a helpful website for generic documents. They also have a family package that's quite reasonable.

Looks like your answer is quite unclear.
Finding the lgbt family practice lawyer is going to be the hardest part.

Try asking around with local orginization or group such as the one below.

Your so ignorant it hurts my insides

Why would gay or lesbian couples not be allowed to raise children, thier just as intelligent and loving as a straight couple. Its people like you who hold the world back, who think that what thier parents taught them and what they've "been raised to believe" is automatically true. Also by the way, not all peoples follow the teachings of the bible. Another thing is the science behind it, Many gays are born the way they are, with a different hormone balance then the average person. So to talk about "converting" others to thier belief is just stupid.

Happy Birthday

Second parent adoption

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:59:35 -0800

I just posted under Moms, Fighting for Custody. Maybe the two of you should read it. I fully understand your joy and visions of the future but doing this adoption and/or joint ownership of property puts you both in the same situation as married couples when they divorce. That is what you should spend all your time at this point thinking about. A lawyer is all you need but be sure and go over all the laws that will come into play if you seperate in the future. How many couples just know they will love each other forever? Also, be sure and tell both your parents and I am sure they will love being a grandparent but fear a future breakup in todays world. Sincerely, good luck to you!

good job!
