Parenting: Living The Dream!

In Britain commercial surrogacy is illegal, but in America gay dads – and their baby mamas – are becoming the new normal
The Fraley Selfs are a very modern couple. For a start, all told, they’ve been married on three separate occasions – each time to each other.
They first exchanged vows on the island of St Barts, in the French West Indies, in 2008, and again in South Africa on their honeymoon. Then, in 2011, Chris and Victor became the first gay men to legally wed in the town of Rye, in New York State.
Today they live in Los Angeles, in a house with a view of the Hollywood sign, not far from Larchmont Boulevard, the West Coast’s answer to Notting Hill. Their living room speaks to their contemporary family: a large brooding Impressionist painting looms over lots of cuddly toys and a pink, knee-high toy piano. Two dogs – feisty shih tzus with bows in their hair – scurry and yap. And on one of several elegant sofas, in between Chris and Victor, sits Kira Sanders, the surrogate who, thanks to a process that began with a Google search, bore their two daughters, three-year-old Coco and her nine-month-old sister, Kiki...

The Sunday Times.

Oh, the dream.
The impossible dream.
To be super rich, gaymarried, live in Hollywood, and have children.
Imagine!
Gee, I'd love a gayby and to get my teeth-whitened regularly so they look like dentures then I guess everything would be okay.
Yes?

PS That's another couple in the photo there, but from the same Sunday Times article - so don't write in...
