    there are different ways to solve the problem... you can just consult with a specialist at first. And after consultations and clearing some issues it will be easier to move further.

    How do you think, what county is the best for such a procedure? And maybe you know personally people who had a deal with some clinic and succeeded? Success rates and real success stories mean a lot in such case

    Oh, I'm so sorry! Forgive me if I hurt you feelings, I really didn't mean it. You know what? You still have chances to have a great family and kids. And your one and only is waiting for you somewhere

    there are a lot of fertility clinics and centres. There was a time when gay couples went to India and Thailand but now it is impossible to do because surrogacy was forbidden there from foreign countries not so long time ago. In the USA it is quite expensive procedure...there are a lot of success stories. you can find a lot in the internet.

    Thank you for the inf. . By the way, I know that the prices of surrogacy procedures in the USA are terribly high! And what about Europe? Are there in some european countries any surrogacy clinics which provide their service for same gender couples?

    You are always welcome))))))) The most important thing in such case (and in our life at all) is not to lose faith. Faith in happiness, faith in your dream, faith in people, and, what is the most important - faith in yourself! (*hug*)

    Yes, David, you are right. We are all equal and must have equal rights. Our point of view on love and on life shouldn't matter anything. But, unfortunately, not everybody understands it and it is much more difficult for people like us to fight for our happiness

    Hello, Richard. I understand your feelings, because I'm also dreaming about parenting last 6 years. Together with my partner we tried to adopt, but the preference was given to another, traditional couple. We are both in despair now, but still searching the way out

    Hello, Adam. Thank you very much for understanding and support. First of all, don't fall in despair, it won't help you to get what you want. Is gay adoption forbidden by law in your country?

    It is not forbidden, but still not welcomed. People still cannot consider us normal. If you are different, the society never welcomes you

    Richard, it sounds like you are in the US?

    If you are thinking about surrogacy abroad, please be very careful. Many women, especially poor women from developing countries are exploited. They are paid very little by the agency. They do it because they're desperate and out of option.

    And who is "the society"? What does it mean to be "normal"? We are all different somehow. And nobody has a right to judge us.

    I understand it. But the prices for surrogacy in the USA are so high! And abroad...I know, that asian countries are not so good for it, because there are lots of illnesses, and nobody guarantees, that the child will be born healthy. I'm thinking about Europe

    Agree with you, Richard. They have no right to judge us and they cannot stop us on our way to the dream! So, what steps have you already made? What variants do you have?

    there are only two variants - surrogacy and adoption. I consider surrogacy a better variant

    Why is surrogacy a better variant for you than adoption?

    In the majority of European countries surrogacy is illegal, except for the UK and Ireland, I think. If you choose surrogacy, and do it in a country that is not yours, make sure the laws in your contry allow you to recognize the child as your own afterwards.

    there are countries where surrogacy is not regulated by law at all (as Greece) but I think that it is not the best variant to go somewhere where it is out of law because you don't have guarantees you will reach your goals. India and Thailand were good variants but now it is not available to go there.
