Two Fathers

hari ni ketika aku nak tengok email aku tiba-tiba aku ternampak satu berita tentang pasangan gay yang pertama kali diiktiraf kat UK.. mereka telah berkahwin dan mempunyai lima orang anak.. sekarang ni mereka nak try untuk memiliki anak perempuan. tapi bukan dengan cara pengambilan anak angkat, mereka guna 'benih' mereka sendiri lah.. in short, guna surrogate mother lah.. 

hal ini membuatkan aku berfikir banyak perkara..

1. kalau mereka nak guna 'benih' mereka sendiri, sperm siapa yang mereka ambil?? maksud aku daripada 'dua orang ayah' tu mereka guna sperm yang mana.. si ayah A or si ayah B?? takkanlah guna dua-dua.. mungkin daripada lima orang anak, mereka gilir-gilir kata yang anak pertama guna sperm si ayah A then kali kedua pula guna si ayah B.. macam tu lah kot...

2. tak ke rasa macam pelik sikit.. bayangkan lah kalau diri korang adalah anak pasangan gay ni, korang ada dua orang ayah tapi takde ibu.. seriously, tentu terasa amat janggal sekali.. kesemua anak merka still muda lagi rasa mereka tak faham sangat pun dengan keadaan ini.. then kalau orang tanya tentang ayah korang, boleh ke cakap 'i have two fathers'?? but takde ibu...

3. nama si anak tu pula nak letak guna nama siapa?? maksud aku surname lah.. kalau kes orang islam nak 'berbin' nama siapa??

4. siapa lah nak menyusukan anak-anak mereka ni?? mesti upah orang lain kan.. 

5. boleh tahan setia pasangan gay ni.. sampai dah dapat lima orang anak.. orang kata cinta orang gay/plu ni tak setia tapi bukan korang plu juga ke?? so, korang pun tak setia lah?? kalau jenis yang setia jadi masih adalah yang setia.. aku hairan lah bila tengok orang straight yang banyak bertukar-tukar pasangan tapi takde pula orang kata cinta orang straight tak setia.. (ayat dari Unspeakable love part 1).. aku cakap macam ni tak lah nak menggalakkan korang untuk bercinta dengan kaum sejenis.. just pendapat aku.. but, melihat pada gambar family mereka nampak macam happy family je.. walaupun bagi kita mereka ni tak dirahmati Allah..

6. tiba-tiba aku teringat dengan seorang gay yang aku jumpa kat PR dulu.. dia ada anak sendiri tapi tak beristeri.. tak berkahwin.. gay yang ada anak.. aku pernah post hal ni dalam post the Unmarried Father. macam mana lah keadaan lelaki tu sekarang ni ye..

7. aku ni bila lah nak dapat anak?? bila lah aku nak berkahwin?? tak nak ada family ke?? aduh!! ( ni memang killer questions.. soalan yang taboo buat aku.. hakikatnya memang lah aku nak semua tu tapi... )

GAY FATHERS SPEND THOUSANDS FOR BABY GIRL

The first officially recognised same sex couple in British history will spend over $100,000AUD to ensure to their next child is a girl.

Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow already have five children – four boys and a girl – but are desperate to add another girl to their expanding family.

They plan to fly to the US from their home town in Essex for a procedure, illegal in the UK, which will hopefully allow them to determine their new child’s sex.

The couple, who were the first same sex couple named on a child’s birth certificate in the UK, have already spent more than $1,500,000AUD raising their four children conceived through IVF.

Now, determined to have another girl, they will spend $101,000AUD on a controversial procedure in the US in which three embryos will be implanted into a surrogate mother.

The plan means the couple could end up with triplet girls.

"We would love to have three more girls. [Our daughter] Saffron would love to have little sisters to play with," Barrie, 42, told UK magazine, Closer.

"We can’t wait to spoil our new daughters. I want to buy them pink Prada dresses and babygros."

The controversial sex selection technology is only legal in four countries worldwide, but the couple is determined to raise more kids.

"If sex selection was not possible, we would still have more children and love them, whatever their gender," Barrie told Closer.

"But the technology is available and we wanted girls to balance our family. It causes outrage but I bet most people would do it."

The couple already has two sets of twins, and they say if their current plan to convceive a girl fails, they will adopt.

The embryos were implanted in the surrogate two weeks ago; they are now waiting to find out if they can expect their baby girl.
