Every week on t. W. Story that people of the world long for w. On facebook and twitter to date and in touch follow us. Johnny and stefan are a couple now theyve become proud parents too. This is a true story from stratford 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 to see. Me to see us. What it was yet nobody. 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. We spent a lot of time talking to our midwife. And we followed our instincts lots. Things just work themselves out. Either for him come here or right here. Every day family life and yet its remarkable. Night. Johnny sister mary angela and his niece rosa supported him on his path to fatherhood. Its one of the nerds sure you know and one of the creek 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 so as of april 24th we knew if all goes well well be pregnant soon. Robyn 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 filing in womens in and with the process is hugely expensive especially if you want to do it in 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 it was in one off an apartment the common. Stephan and johnny were lucky and everything went well. So never. Johnny was in the operating theatre i was outside looking through across pain since it was a twin but 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 whom and amalia and already oh both have the same mother the. Same eg dont know this is biologically speaking theyre half siblings and i fathered 11 johnny father the other. Will move 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. If the baby if. The twins are 6 months old now. We are sure. Robin has 2 children of her own ready her daughter adriano 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 2nd i knew when they were perfect i loved being pregnant and so those are my reasons for doing it was to help turn in stop and. Go. Of course to make money from being a surrogate. But if you boil it down to the name months that youre 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 being pregnant for 9 months and i cant imagine just going through a surrogacy for the money you make its its its the whole package. Saturday is family day 1st they visit johnnys mother at a nursing home alone after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage shes only got to speak. To somebody young of the network will sum up with stuart a split from the folks who have revised all mama i love the. Able to feed you. You fed me for years and now its nice that its the other way around. This negativity in the. U. S. 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 theyre devout catholics. Who got work. Goes along of course all the little. More per year its 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. 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. In the house 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 off the wrong. 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 bus and like you know from since aside from them a kid thought for sure the 1st one i told us that they were expecting it felt strange as this but we accepted it 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 it think about their 1st attempt was immediately successful i must say it looks like god means them well because thats what i think you know thats right. So thinking. Oh dear you and amalia might face tough questions down the road shows or even hostilities. But their extended family supports them wholeheartedly stuck it out is the way of life and blow and stephanie 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 5 you cant do it like that you cant give him his pacifier the. Most you need to take it away or he wanted or stand it its time to eat now its right 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 it. 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. Is going to sit still since things are a little hectic right now ive just left the office and the guests are arriving at 230. 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 you know to do it for you know stephan left the office early to make it to the party on time the twins are still in daycare. And we move since we have space to see 10 people thats johnnys in the big fan of tablecloths and stuff like that. Thats up to me all done so i suspect says that. Johnny and stefan share a business that means they can choose their own work hours perfect for the small family i know or. Something. It looks great here but there every thing is ready. It looks fantastic i wish it was my birthday it was just so bright its just too orange i 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. What they saw everything this morning to with her and that was lovely its sad and thats just something that takes time no matter where. Youre going to have us on as called good guys. Be ahead all right son. Not a lot of. Men soon there will be too little too will somebody. Out look honey she can walk. And so can you cut her off. But heres one tip toe very selfish prick ok so. Was her. Honey on. The host families come to celebrate. I. Think it was. Really you know julie and stephanie 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. A package from america but now robinson something look enough to hold oh my. Gosh.
