This is an unpopular opinion, but I don’t support IVF, and I definitely don’t support funding IVF, whether it be for female couples or opposite sex couples or single women. Definitely not as bad as surrogacy, because at least with IVF the child will be raised and breast fed by the woman who gave birth to him, whereas surrogacy the child has to do without the presence of a woman whose womb he’s been inside for nine months and he misses out on breast milk, which is the most natural thing you can feed to a human baby. But how is the child going to feel about his father? With adoption, the child knows that his mother and father could not raise him. With IVF, the father accepted money not to be involved in the child’s life. I believe that lesbians can be wonderful mothers, and gay men can be wonderful fathers, which is why I support same sex adoption, same sex guardianship and same sex foster are. But sperm donation and surrogacy is not something I believe in. And by way, I don’t support opposite sex couples becoming parents through sperm donation or surrogacy either. Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe I’ve just never met someone who was conceived through sperm donations or surrogacy.

I think IVF kids should have the change to meet their fathers. Not that their dads should co-parent them or anything that extreme, but that they should be in their lives in a more uncle-like capacity.
