Many of my Nurture customers are same-sex couples (men) who obviously need both an egg donor and a surrogate in order to have a child. I am Aunty-by-proxy (actually by forcing myself into the role!! LOVE those babies!! All the daddies and the babies feel like part of my extended family) to lots of gorgeous babies born through Nurture. This morning I got a text message from one of my Nurture daddies:
We will never forget the wonderful role you played in
helping us celebrate our very first Father's Day! U will always hold a very special place in
our lives!
I LOVE MY JOB!!! I am so flipping lucky.
Yay....you go girl!

MFA Mama stole my comment.
My best friend and her partner have a 3-year-old son, who announced in music class yesterday "I no have a father. I have a donor." I love it that technology and generous people make it possible for same-sex couples to become parents too.

Well done Tertia. Well done Nuture. And well done to all the donors and surrogates. :-)

Oh Tertia, this brought tears to my eyes. I know a few same sex couples who would make excellent parents.

You and your Nurture team are doing very important work. I love that more and more people have the opportunity to become parents and to have families if they want. Daddies are obviously VERY important as our 3 year old has recently started calling my lesbian partner "Daddy". She calls me "mommy" and my partner "Ada" (long story), but now she calls her "my Ada-Daddy". Good thing my partner could care less and takes it all in stride.
