Egg donation and surrogacy View egg donors profiles and select your gestational carrier.

 

http://reproductivelawyer.com/index.asp

Reproductive Lawyer

 

Melissa and her husband are parents of twin boys and a daughter through a gestational carrier. A gestational carrier is a woman who carries a child conceived through the process of in-vitro fertilization. The child is not biologically related to her. This is different from a traditional surrogate who supplies the egg and is the biological mother of the child she delivers. Intended Parents contact Melissa Brisman because a medical reason has prevented the intended mother from carrying or conceiving a child. The wife of the intended parents may not be able to carry or conceive a child but she may produce healthy eggs. In some situations, the intended parents will also need to locate an egg donor. In either case, these eggs will be fertilized outside of the woman's body and the resulting embryos placed in a gestational carrier. Clients also include gay male couples, single males and single females

A very informative site with lots of information from the first-person perspective of a gay married man.  “These pages are principally for men who are gay or bisexual and married or in a relationship with a woman, and for their wives, partners or girl friends to help them to understand what might be going on. It is more of an information site than a discussion site.”

CLOSED-LOOP RELATIONSHIPS
A closed-loop relationship consists of two geographically proximate married men who don't cheat on their wives with other women and who don't fool around with other guys. It's an actual friendship between the guys, not just a sexual liaison. And, the bond between the guys is separate from the married relationship they have with their wives. The goal is to provide marital stability and to bond with another guy. However, the definition has been extended to include one monogamous single man and a married man. To subscribe visit:

GAY MARRIED MEN GROUP
is a group for gay married men to talk and to support each other - they quote "Love between two persons, whether of the same sex or of a different sex, is to be respected.  To love another, whether of the same sex or of a different sex, is to have entered the area of richest human experience." — the late Cardinal Basil Hume, Roman Catholic, Britain
