Morse could just abuse a lot of problems. The global 3000. 00 talks would seem british researchers to take a more optimistic view. While it is not always a good point but its much much fairer than it was a hot against the world really getting better. Close to 3000. 00 special reports. Starts august 19th on g. W. Johnny and stefan are a couple now theyve become proud parents to. The troops there from st for as soon as i met stephan i knew we could start a family together and it was such an incredible feeling to see our children for the 1st time can see him play. Hard to miss the. Us this morning by the. Sun. For a while yet never let me feel. We got a lot of books from friends and neighbors and acquaintances we looked up a few chapters like im sleeping and stuff like that. And we spent a lot of time talking to our midwife. And we followed our instincts are lots of things just work themselves out. Either for him come here or i see it. Every day family life and yet its remarkable. There by night. Johnny sister mary angela and his niece rosa supported him on his path to fatherhood. His for the new yorker sure you know them worked a treat so 1st the embryos were created and then we met robin. That was 6 months later or and we liked her right away we thought she was great and we knew we could picture going on this journey with her. Again and she felt the same way on 6 so as of april 24th we knew if all goes well well be pregnant so. Robin carried the children to term as a surrogate mother theyd been conceived in a laboratory with 2 eggs donated by a different woman and sperm from each of the fathers in germany its against the law to donate eggs or act as a surrogate but it is allowed in california funding of them and then with the process is hugely expensive especially if you want to do within the u. S. And you could probably afford your own home with that kind of money maybe not downtown but you could definitely get an apartment in a smaller city than one often apartment the called. Stephan and johnny were lucky people everything went in. Johnny was in the operating theater i was outside looking through a glass pane and since it was a twin bath only one of us was allowed in i said id be fine if i could watch through the glass and of course robin was the 1st one allowed to hold them. Even because they were born we knew which baby was biologically related to them amalia and already you know both have the same model of the same egg dont know this is biologically speaking theyre half siblings and i fathered one when johnny fathered the other. Salt all know and. Today theyre expecting an important visitor robin the surrogate mother is on her way to stuttgart for the 1st time to see the family. Live. Feed the baby if. The twins are 6 months old now. Robin has 2 children of her own her daughter agree on a came along with her. Really. I gave birth to twins because surrogacy is something ive always wanted to do and then when i met johnny and steph and i knew they were perfect i loved being pregnant and so those are my reasons for doing it was to help john in stuff and. Opening the. Radio up of course to make money from being a surrogate. But if you boil it down to the name and spare pregnant i think they say its less than like 3 or 4. 00 an hour for 9 months so really i could go get a Part Time Job at mcdonalds and make more money than i would been pregnant for 9 months and i cant imagine just going through a surrogacy for the money you make it its its the whole package. Saturday is family day the 1st they visit johnnys mother at the nursing home alone after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage shes only got to speak. Hes only young the network will sum up with start by spitzer need to fully have a vice all mama i love being able to feed you. You fed me for years and now its nice that its the other way around. This thing that all 3 of. Us surrogate mothers give birth to about 6000 children a year in germany the embryo protection law forbids it even for heterosexual couples who cant conceive. Critics say the ban is outdated by now plenty of couples like johnny and stefan look abroad to fulfill their wish of having their own children. The next stop is stephens parents house in a small town in upper swabian they are devout catholics. The. Food network. Goes along of course all the little. More per year its at home though not in. The sunday walk is a firm tradition to gay dads with their baby carriages isnt something you see every day at least not here thats all of it wasnt easy at 1st to deal with the fact that he was just different and gay but at the end of the day is over. Him its over. Its known as the Holy Mountain the opposite way below its a very special place the people without children go up this mountain and pray for children and maybe it works after all. We used to call up paris kids all the time when so its a great feeling to be back here now with our own kids on the buson like it was since aside from them a kid was sure for us when they told us that they were expecting it felt strange to decide this but we accepted it as and accepted the way things happened i mean were happy with the children are here even if the church doesnt want that because but i dont agree with that he said. 2 children have arrived in the church needs to accept that fact theyre living creatures no matter where theyre from and theyre here now to come and i was in town it thank god their 1st attempt was immediately successful i must say it looks like god means them well thats what i think you know thats right. So thinking. You know theyre doing ok you and amalia might face tough questions down the road those or even hostilities. But their extended family supports them wholeheartedly stuck it out is the way of life and blow and stephan and johnny can pass the strength on to their children. The boat house and your boat i back in stuttgart johnny and stephanie want to keep up their social ties. Its a challenge all parents face. I dont know when youre not having a good day today. I. Know but this is fine you cant do it like that but you cant give him his pacifier the. Most you need to take it away or he wonders stand it its time to eat now. But he doesnt want to eat then let him cry. Just leave them. Well they were. Very nice all wound up you just need to go to bed. And. I. Was sort of youre in a bad mood today arent you. Stefan doesnt look anything flustered him not his 1st the sun or use partner. Its hot and then suddenly everythings all better. Order. 2 months later its the twins 1st birthday. So its going to since just since things are a little hectic right now ive just left the office and the guests are arriving at 230. 00. It was important to us to celebrate with our family and friends now that our little ones have been with us for a year and find no to do and so i you know stephanie left the office early to make it to the party on time the twins are still in daycare. And we moved since we have space to see 10 people. Johnnys in a big fan of tablecloth and stuff like that. Thats up to me my fault and so i just i just said to. Johnny and stefan shared business that means they can choose their own work hours perfect for the small family i know or. Something out of this it looks great here. Everything is ready. It looks fantastic i wish it was my birthday. So but its just one sided but its a positive kind of stress and i we bicker sometimes but thats just the way things are but its all worth it when the kids come home and see everything is about what they saw everything this morning to with her and that was lovely its sad and thats just something that takes time no matter why. With this kind of only advice on its called good guys. Nice. All right so. Not a lot of. Men soon there will be too little fuel subsidy. Back out so look honey she can walk. So can you. Go way off. Heres one tip toe very selfish me ok. Well im sure youre. Ready. To host families come to celebrate. I. Think it was. Really you know julie and steph i want this to feel normal for their children they want them to understand that a family doesnt have to be a mother and a father to be full of love. And they want to keep in touch with the surrogate mother often she sent a special gift for the twins 1st birthday. Packets from america but now robinson something look below the mug. I must. Well honey through ooc are we sure 1st birthday is fun all day through from your 1st kiss to your last dream come true hardly ever there was. I did. Not.
