Surrogate mother wins access to her biological son in landmark case

The two men (not pictured) claimed that the little boy would be confused if he saw his mother because he lived with them in a 'motherless family' and was being raised within the LGBT community.

Additionally, the couple may have been awful but apparently the child is thriving as do children adopted into same sex relationships.

the evidence shows the contrary. The best outcomes across all measures are children raised with a mother and father

if the trans debate has taught us anything, it’s that men and woman are not the same

Im sick of pretending it’s all ‘fine’
Almost every male gay couple I’ve ever encountered adopting or buying has had more than a hint of narcissism

<awaits deletion>

Can you give a source for this claim of best outcomes, please?

Surely, also, you are not claiming all male gay couples are narcissistic?

I know! There's been a spate of The Undead Thread recently hasn't there?👻
Sometimes it's interesting to look back on discussions from years ago on topics which are now turning up more and more in the mainstream, e.g. single sex spaces, women's sports, etc.

It is quite timely given that the surrogacy lobby are having another go at the law:

Tbh I don't think the mother comes out looking that great. Two men paid her for her baby. The child has three parents that saw him as a transition. I would like to see a ban that includes egg and sperm donor etc . No one has a right to a baby especially when you fuck up your kid in the process.

And always by someone who appears to have landed on it through a search for keywords. Interesting, eh?

If you carry a baby using a donated egg, you are still its mother. I hate this idea that motherless babies can be produced if women are used to gestate donated eggs.

Making parenthood a matter of who pays is utterly wrong.

Surrogacy. AirBnB for the womb.

The poor child must be so confused.

Why would a woman who was not even their friend agree to this!?

From the court papers www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ/2024/20.html

we felt that [G] was unlikely to be flexible in her approach to contact and harboured desires for an inappropriate relationship with [Z]. However, we hoped, we could make the arrangements work for [Z] and [G] would have more respect for our family and accept her role as [Z's] surrogate'.

Woman, know your place Angry

!!!!!!!!!!
A mother's inappropriate relationship with her child. Having been forced to compromise, the buyers magnanimously hope to make the arrangements work for [Z], while the mother is expected to have more respect for our family and accept her role as [Z's] surrogate.

I have no words to describe their self-entitled arrogance. Nor for the plight of that poor baby.
