To wonder about newborns of gay dads

[Leahisleaving]

I recently became a mum for the first time (9! Weeks ago,) and have been struggling with anxiety in terms of leaving baby to go out for the evening with DH. There's all this information out there about bonding etc and I'm just worried DD might miss me. In an effort to give me some reassurance DH said to think about gay dads, their newborns never even get that moment with their mums. Does anyone know how that works? Do newborns really need that bondinf time with their mums?

Nobody on this thread has said that gay men can't make good parents or that they shouldn't be allowed to have children.

You are reading a different thread to me then!

I'm not sure why there is an assumption that all gay couples have their children through surrogacy.

I'm quite sure some of them will be adopting - and most children in the UK who have been adopted as babies are likely to have been those removed from their mother's care at birth via social care intervention eg due to drug addiction, previous neglect etc
