LH and I are a gay couple, we've been together for over 2 years. I wanted a way to chronicle our experiences as we go down the path to becoming parents. Helping us with our journey, is a firm called "Growing Generations" in Los Angeles. We contacted Growing Generations early 2004. Growing Generations is a surrogacy and egg donation firm, specializing in helping the gay and lesbian community to become parents. After reviewing their materials we met with Gail Taylor, one of the founders of Growing Generations in April of 2004.
LH and I discussed becoming parents for quite some time before we actually committed to the idea in April 2004. LH is an older gay man, having come out late in life after being married with two kids. When we met, LH had just turned 51 and had only been "out" as a gay man for about 5 years. I was 34 at the time, having self-identified as gay since I was in college. Although we are 16 years apart in age, we found that not only did we have a lot in common, but we were extremely comfortable with each other, filling in each other's lives effortlessly. Our goals were similar, and though LH wasn't originally planning on starting a second family, the idea was an obvious one for us as a couple.
