I’m horrified for her. This story sickens me— giving up her legal rights (and as such any connection she could ever hope to have) to give up her baby to two men. And I don’t mean because they are gay, I am not homophobic and support gay parents. I just don’t understand the mother losing her legal rights and connections and true ability to support and advocate and raise her own baby. This story hurts my soul.

This isn't how surrogacy works as far as I know. it requires two women for a gay couple, one to donate an egg (could be a willing sister in law) and then egg is fertilized. Egg is then implanted in a women who has no biological connection to egg or sperm donors. So she has no legal right to the baby, and if she is bonding, it is with a child that isn't genetically or legally hers. In adoption she is at least the natural mother.

As far as i know the radfems are against this because on principle it uses the second woman as incubator, which is another discussion. Also they can't be against the egg donor woman, because males donate sperm as well.

Edit:

first comment, ignorant, as well as anti male.

She is not a surrogate; she is the mother of this child. What do you want to bet this is a turkey baster situation.

Men are pigs. In other news, water is wet.
