Anyone who wants to have their own baby should be respected and blessed, regardless of his/her status and sexual orientation.
Lin Xu (alias) is a Chengduer. When he was a junior school student, he realized that he was among the sexual minorities. For two of his good friends were also gay, he could accept a different ego.
The only thing he felt sorry for his parents was that he could not marry a girl. Fortunately, he was told that even a single could have their baby. From then on, he knew he must have his baby in his life.
After graduation from the university, Lin self-disclosed his sexual orientation to his family. After general turmoil for half a year, his parents acquiesced in the fact. At the same time, they agreed to his idea of getting his baby. They urged him to have one as soon as possible.
After employment for several years, through his colleague’s introduction, Lin knew Wu Tao (alias), a sunny boy. Both were agreeable to each other from the very beginning. For less than one month, they built a love relationship. This may be destined for them.
After living together, they showed some disagreement and even kicked up a row sometimes, but these were trifles for them and their relationship became closer and closer in a period of 3 years. Lin told Wu his idea of having a baby abroad before 30 years old. Wu felt unexpected at the beginning, but after he seriously thought of it, he understood and supported his idea.
Afterwards, Lin knew Iris through his friend’s introduction. A few of his friends had their baby under the guidance of Iris. To his surprise, he could open up this wonderful journey in such a short time.
After signing the contract, the first important thing for him was to retain his sperm. On their flight to Georgia (unlike now, the then Georgia policy was friendly to the sexual minority), Lin joked to Wu, “if not for our baby, I won’t go to Georgia and I even don’t know what country Tbilisi belongs to. Although we have a mission, it’s more like a trip in foreign country”.
Lin felt nervous when he was just ready for his baby even planning for such a long time. After retaining his sperm in the local hospital, he felt relaxed soon. This is just like something we encounter in our daily life: before you do it, you will be nervous, and once you start it, you will take it easy.
After returning home from abroad, things went smoothly with the arrangement of Iris, e.g. looking for the egg donor, egg retrieval, looking for a surrogate mother, pregnancy, antenatal care and waiting for the expected date of confinement…Accompanied by his lover, Lin tried many first times. In this course, all his fears, tension and hope impressed him deeply. Lin said many times that waiting for baby was really wonderful.
Time flies fast. One year later, Lin took the flight to Georgia again to take his baby home. This time, Lin and Wu were excited and sighed with emotion. Looking back the past, this gay couple shed tears for the difficulties they had faced. Meanwhile, they were grateful of Iris’ professional and considerate services, as well as the medical staff having offered help to them. A new stage in their life started here and a happy life was nothing more than this!
