I didn't have to. Everything was arranged through an agency. Of course, we got to know them before I agreed to carry their babies, but the agency matched us. They are very good at what they do.
Yes, having these men's children was a fantastic idea. It was certainly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. They are an amazing family and we enjoy spending time with them when we can.
That will be the last response you get from me. I'm tired of your bullshit insinuations about gays and children.
That's fine, I understand. But remember, it was you who offered up to the board here without prompting your situation with being a baby-carrier for gay men. So I was just asking to satisfy my curiosity you had piqued.
I'm still curious about other things with that arrangement but I'll respect your wish to find relief in not talking about it anymore.
Just in general then to the board, I wonder if the gay men put "married' in their application to the agency Seawytch went through. Because if they did that in California of course, by law they are not legally married by the consensus rule that is still on the books defining marriage as only "between a man and a woman". One judge cannot eradicate a state's sovereignty.
So there's that. And all agencies involved with the welfare of children in surrogacy or adoption must be aware of their candidates and statistical issues surrounding their "state of being" as LGBTs like to argue that they "are" instead of "are doing". For instance, an agency might consider statistics that say that if gay men come from an epidemic of having been molested as children themselves, for that is what the CDC says, and that those people who have been molested as children show strong tendencies to display in adulthood a penchant or "orientation" to have those same types of sexual encounters with children, an agency must consider the hard data and the findings of the worlds most prestigious research centers like the CDC and Mayo Clinic that support these conclusions.
An agency is not to be envied. On the one hand they cannot discriminate. On the other hand they must ALWAYS default to the child's best interest. And that includes anticipation of potential problems, not just proven ones that already exist. Because the laws regarding child welfare are written such that a person not only has to witness a crime against a child to act, they must anticipate that a crime is potentially going to happen to that child even if it hasn't yet. If they have reasonable data that suggests a child might likely come to harm, they are supposed to act or they can be charged with a misdemeanor.
So a group interested might sue an adoption agency for placing children with gay men [in particular, according to the CDC and Mayo Clinic data] who were then later molested. I think that pro-traditional family groups should legally serve a data packet to each and every single surrogacy and adoption agency in the US with the CDC and Mayo Clinic data. Then that agency cannot plead ignorance about the prospective clientele looking to adopt babies. Particularly in this case baby boys. It's probably safe as hell to place baby girls with two gay men. But not baby boys. For all the reasons the CDC and Mayo Clinic stated.
I believe Seawytch said too that the infants handed over to the gay men were boys. I'll just have to be sure about that since she doesn't want to talk about it anymore now that I'm prying into the details of the transactions...
