'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.

One on right looks more pregnant than left. Didn’t they get simultaneously fertilized? Then they could have simultaneous cesareans, & kids would’ve had same birthdays, like twins.

Two boys, the worst possible situation to involve “two mommies.” Those poor boys will either become mental basket cases or criminals (or both.).

They probably chose males so they can subject them to surgical and hormonal abuse.

I don't know about homosexual unions as opposed to lesbian but in heterosexual marriage (feels odd to write that) the divorce rate is 23% in first marriages.

IOW 77% of first marriages last.

Let me know how this disaster of a family is doing in about 5 years.
It may not even take that long, but it will be a disaster.

“A Christmas love story with double virgin birth?”

Hardly.
I’m pretty sure both those holes have seen more traffic than I95 between Boston, MA and Richmond, Virginia on a summer holiday weekend.
For reasons known to themselves homos tend to value a high body count (the number of sexual partners) to the exclusion of anything else. And the size of their “love toys” is beyond the comprehension of normal people.
