		<description>how do you decide who will be your surrogate and what you should you cover? Do you give them any compensation besides that for doctors&#039; visits, maternity clothes and food</description>

		<description>Based on our surrogacy experience, we&#039;ve put together quite a bit of information on Surrogacy in India at:
http://www.globaldoctoroptions.com/surrogacy-india-guide/432

Intended Parents may find it helpful.  Both adoption and surrogacy are complicated choices to pursue, each in their oown way.</description>

		<description>Congratulations to the 2 dads.
As a straight dad to many little rainbow children it is a profound joy to create a new little person and to raise them. I hope to march with you at the next MG with The Rainbow Babies &amp; Kids</description>

		<description>James, social science research will tell you it is not the gender or sexuality of the parents which influences a child&#039;s development, it is the quality of the parenting.  The reality in society is that families are diverse and take many different forms, depending upon cultural or other backgrounds.  If you are inferring by &quot;I think a child deserves more than to be brought into this world by a surrogate or gay couple&quot; that a child is better off with opposite sex parents in the &quot;traditional&quot; model of a family, then I would invite you to come down to the Family Court (or even better the Children&#039;s Court)to see the fabulous job of parenting being done by heterosexual parents, and the impact their self absorbed conflict is having on their children.</description>

		<description>Jason - not sure what statistics you are referring to. I think that a child deserves more than to be bought into this world by surrogate and a gay couple. I hope this child doesn&#039;t grow up with any head noises, but I&#039;d say that the chances are slim. This is just so wrong on so many levels.

And I repeat, I don&#039;t know who Andrew Bolt is, nor do I care.</description>

		<description>James - &quot;I would have said the same thing (and I have) had it been a hetero couple. Being a gay couple (or a couple without a mother), it makes it worse&quot;

Im surpised that you dont know who Andrew Bolt is, I thought he would be somebody you would admire. I could easily log onto google and find some reputable statistics to counter your claim but ive got better things to do. If your hoping a lot of users will agree with your views, your on the wrong website.</description>

		<description>James - &quot;Why would you treat a child like a commodity? These people should have simply bought a dog. This makes me sick&quot;

Umm who said they were treating the child like a commodity ? Do you personally know these guys ? How about James you tell me something about your hetrosexual family life and then I&#039;ll make a comment. If it was a hetrosexual couple would you have made the comments you made ?</description>

		<description>I fully congradulate the two men with their children now and into the future. I only hope the state Governments here were more understanding, and should legally allow gay dads the same rights as heterosexual dads.</description>
