'We swapped embryos and now we're expecting each other's sons!' Lesbian couple used the same sperm donor to fertilize their eggs but wanted to be biologically connected to both babies
Daily Mail ^

As nativity stories go, it could hardly be more modern, more brave or more touching. Devoted couple Emily Patrick and Kerry Osborn are pregnant with each other’s babies, and will give birth within weeks of each other.

In a pioneering case, the first of its kind known in Britain, the women swapped embryos – both fertilised by the same sperm donor – during IVF treatment.

Now Emily, 38, a creative producer, will give birth to a son who is biologically Kerry’s at New Year. School teacher Kerry, 35, will follow in February, giving birth to a little boy grown from Emily’s egg.

It means that, uniquely, both women are simultaneously pregnant and will go on to raise two sons – where one boy carries the DNA of one mother after being birthed by the other, and vice versa for his sibling.

‘We wanted a family in which we both felt deeply physically and emotionally connected to each other’s babies,’ says Emily. ‘There wasn’t a blueprint for this but it made sense to us.

'With a straight couple both parents share in the creation of their child. We can’t do that. But we can be equal mothers to both sons. They’ll have the same father and we will be their mothers in different but equally profound and loving ways.

‘Beforehand we wondered if we’d ever think about the fact that the baby we are carrying is not our own biological child. But it’s such a physical and emotional experience feeling a child grow inside you, that there’s no way in which it’s not “yours”.’

Kerry continues: ‘It’s a privilege to be pregnant with Emily’s baby. There was no big conversation, it just felt natural to us, doing this amazing thing with and for the person you love most.

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.

P.S. This is beyond sick.

Mentally ill people should not be allowed to have kids.

Nothing says “romance” like a turkey baster, candles, and a bottle of Chardonnay.

“This is news because..............Why?”

I did not post it as news.

it is just a smokey backroom happy holiday story

Fortunately they seem to be truly happy, until one of them decides to abort “theirs” after a fight.

I will post a followup if/when that happens

Exactly.

‘Brave and touching’?

Instead, how about ‘raving and touched’?

Woop-de-do. You had a room. Keep it. There is no way that it could possibly concern anyone except you two.

Pick your sons, pick your daughters too, from the bottom of a long glass tube.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

This should be banned.

If they want children so badly, they can adopt instead.

So far, this is the best response. How much did this stunt cost them? They could have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a good charity of their choice. Maybe they know the homosexual ‘charities’ that ‘support LGBXYZad infinitum charities sexually abuse many of those youth. Now they’ll get the attention the libiot whiners get from their posts. That is the only reason they did this strange stunt.

These poor kids when they grow up are going to have mental problems from this.

75%? No wonder homosexual divorces are less than lesbians. Guess a kid losing a lesbian ‘mom’ through divorce doesn’t bother him/her as much as losing a birth parent. Why do they even bother to get miraged (only word I’ll use for that union).

The boys will either turn out gay or hate their mothers.

In a God-fearing society, the doctor would face jail and lose their license and the babies would be put up for adoption.
