finally the game up invented by me and i say this country turns because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more afro creates for girls than writing advice as now i want to meet shall still those women back home but balanced by the enthusiasm and social norms and inform them about the basics writes my name is them out of the homes and i work at some of them. but. johnny and stefan are a couple now they've become proud parents too. this is rooster from stray from as soon as i met stephan i knew we could start a family together and it was such an incredible feeling to see our children for the 1st time to see him a. 5 min. us this morning.

sunday. morning. yet never let me feel. we got a lot of books from friends and neighbors and acquaintances we looked up a few chapters like i'm sleeping and stuff like that. and we spent a lot of time talking to our midwife. and we followed our instincts lots of things just work themselves out. i live for him come here or i speak. every day family life and yet it's remarkable. but no night night with. me so. johnny sister mary angela and his niece rosa supported him on his path to fatherhood was. this one of the lurkers sure in over works a treat so 1st the embryos were created and then we met rob and betty. that was 6

months later or and we liked her right away we thought she was great and we knew we could picture going on this journey with her. and she felt the same way so as of april 24th we knew if all goes well we'll be pregnant civs. robyn carried the children to term as a surrogate mother they'd been conceived in a laboratory with 2 eggs donated by different women and sperm from each of the fathers in germany it's against the law to donate eggs or act as a surrogate but it is allowed in california filing limits in. the process is hugely expensive especially if you want to do it in the u.s. and you could probably afford your own home with that kind of money maybe not downtown but you could definitely get an apartment in a smaller city than one offer an apartment because. stephan and johnny were lucky. everything went well. johnny

was in the operating theatre i was outside looking through across the plain since about the twin paths only one of us was allowed in i said i'd be fine if i could watch through the glass and of course robin was the 1st one allowed to hold them. even because they were born we knew which baby was biologically related to whom and amalia on the radio both have the same model the same egg don't know this is biologically speaking they're half siblings and i fathered one when johnny father the other. salt will move and. today they're expecting an important visitor robin the surrogate mother is on her way to stuttgart for the 1st time to see the family. live. feed the baby if. the twins are 6 months old now.

robin has 2 children of her own her daughter agree on that came along with her. really. i gave birth to twins because surrogacy is something i've always wanted to do and then when i met johnny and steph and i knew they were perfect i loved being pregnant and so those are my reasons for doing it was to help john in step and. opening the. door. of course to make money from being a surrogate. but if you boil it down to the name and spare pregnant i think they say it's less than like 3 or $4.00 an hour for 9 months so really i could go get a part time job at mcdonald's and make more money than i would be pregnant for 9 months and i can't imagine just going through

a surrogacy for the money you make if it's it's the whole package. saturday is family day 1st they visit johnny's mother at a nursing home alone after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage she's only got to speak. the network will sum up with start a spectrum of folks who have to buy stuff all mama i love being able to feed you. you fed me for years and now it's nice that it's the other way around. the statement that all 3 of. us surrogate mothers give birth to about 6000 children a year in germany the embryo protection law forbids it even for heterosexual couples who can't conceive. critics say the ban is outdated by now plenty of couples like johnny and stefan look abroad to fulfill their wish of having their own children. the next stop is stephens parents' house in

a small town in upper swabian they are devout catholics. who would not work. welcome on their voice or a little. more per year it's. the sunday walk is a fern tradition to gay dads with their baby carriages isn't something you see every day at least not here. it wasn't easy at 1st to deal with the fact that he was just different and gay but at the end of the day is over. him it's over. it's known as the holy mountain the opposite way below it's a very special place people without children go up this mountain and pray for children and maybe it works after all. we used to call up paris kids all the time when so it's

a great feeling to be back here now with our own kids on the bus and like you know from since aside from them a kid stuff for sure the 1st one i told us that they were expecting it felt strange to decide this but we accepted it and accepted the way things happened so i mean we're happy with the children or here it is even if the church doesn't want that because but i don't agree with that it's just me 2 children have arrived in the church needs to accept that fact they're living creatures no matter where they're from and they're here now come and i was in town it think about their 1st attempt was immediately successful i must say it looks like god means them well that's what i think even that's right so i think you. know they're doing ok you and amalia might face tough questions down the road shows or even hostilities. but their extended family supports them wholeheartedly stuck it out is

a way of life and blow and stephanie and johnny can pass the strength on to their children. to walk also in your book i back in stuttgart johnny and stephanie want to keep up their social times. it's a challenge all parents faced. you know. are we not having a good day today. i. know but this is 5 you can't do it like that but you can't give him his pacifier the. most you need to take it away or he wonders damn that it's time to eat now. but he doesn't want to eat then let him cry. just leave them. well they were. very nice all wound up you just need to go

to bed. i. was sure that you were in a bad mood today aren't you. stefan doesn't look anything flustered him not his 1st the sun or use partner. it's hot and then suddenly everything's all that are. 2 months later it's the twins' 1st birthday. so it's going to since just since things are a little hectic right now i just left the office and the guests are arriving at 230 . it was important to us to celebrate with our family and friends now but our little ones have been with us for a year and fun to do and fun. stephanie left the office early to make it to the party on time the twins are still in daycare. and we move since we have space to

see 10 people. johnny's in the big fan of tablecloth and stuff like that. that's up to me all done so i decided that says that. johnny and stefan share a business that means they can choose their own work how it's perfect for the small family i know or. something. if it looks great here. everything is ready. it looks fantastic i wish it was my birthday. it's all right it's just you and i but it's a positive kind of stress so much we bicker sometimes but that's just the way things are but it's all worth it when the kids come home and see everything is about what they saw everything this morning 230 and that was lovely it's others and that's just something that takes time no matter why. with this kind of army of us on is called good guys. i. say all right so.

not allowed to. marry soon there will be too little kill somebody. out look honey she can walk. and so can you. go way off. he's on tiptoe very selfishly ok so. was her. underling. the host families come to celebrate. i. think it was. all over you know julie and stephanie want us to feel normal for their children they want them to understand that a family doesn't have to be a mother and a father to be full of love. and they want to keep in touch with the surrogate

mother robin she sent a special gift for the twins 1st birthday. package from america right now robinson something look out the old oh my. gosh. well honey through o.-i are we sure 1st birthday is fun all day through from your 1st kiss to your last dream come true. there was. i didn't. know you amalia and now they are in the very best hands i am. tired oh how do you. think my morning.
