Gay couple from U.S. in Thai custody battle over surrogate baby

A gay couple from the United States said on Wednesday their lives were being "destroyed" after a Thai surrogate mother refused to sign papers allowing them to take their baby out of Thailand. The controversy is the latest over surrogacy in Thailand after several cases last year including accusations that an Australian couple abandoned their Down Syndrome baby with his birth mother, taking only his healthy twin sister back to Australia. In the latest case, Gordon Allan Lake and his Spanish husband, Manuel Valero, say Thai surrogate Patidta Kusolsang, who is not the baby's biological mother, decided she wanted to keep their baby, Carmen, as the couple was preparing to leave Thailand.

This actually happened to couple I know in the US. They arrived at the hospital to receive the baby and the mother decided to keep it. Nothing you can do.

She is the mother, even if she’s not biologically related to her child. They are perverts, even if some government pretends that their pact is a marriage. I’m not sure what their complaint is; the Thai woman’s child deserves the best possible home.

There’s nothing gay about being homosexual.

It sounds like the story line here is that this woman is being “homophobic” and the media are pushing the gay angle.

Off topic, but, you wonder how this emphasis on homosexuality plays in the rest of the world. Obama has made gay rights a big part of our foreign policy initiatives. Hillary has talked a lot about this too.

But much of the world is not liberal towards homosexuality in the manner that we are.

Aren’t there enough “ovens” here in America? Or maybe they’re just too expensive per use.

When homosexuals adopt children, they are really grooming them for sex. The children are nothing but sex toys to do with as they wish.

I would bet that Rosie O’Donnell and Neil Patrick Harris have already had sex with their children.

They chose to be homo. They have no one to blame but themselves.
All they have to do is stop pretending to be something they're not.

They should go to planned parenthood and buy the child. I hear you can buy whatever parts you want or the whole thing. The more parts that you buy the better the deal. They will soon be advertising them on TV just like cars. Sarcasm.

Bummer. If they’re a real marriage, they can make their own baby.

Thailand is a popular sex tourist destination for men wanting to have sex with boys.

“Bummer. If they’re a real marriage, they can make their own baby.”

Remember when the faggots were always saying it’s “natural” to be a homo? If it is was normal, how come these 2 pukes couldn;t “naturally” conceive a child?

Well if gay marriage is so “GD” normal, why in the “F” don’t Gordon Allan Lake and his Spanish husband, Manuel Valero make their own baby together, you know, the old fashioned way? Oh....that’s right, butt sex will never yield a child regardless of how much BS the lefties expect the rest of us to swallow to play along with their “F’n” fantasy.

Screw them — Tough $hit a$$holes.

Go seek therapy for your screwed up lives.

Chief out!

nothing a normal couple can do UNLESS the surrogate has no genetic relationship to the mother and father.

Here you have one genetic mother/father but not both.

Surrogate mothers are just a womb for rent.

It can happen to moral or immoral couples, but being moral makes it easier to deal with the fallout if it does. You can leave it to the Lord rather than flying into a rage.

Yup - I guess they still need the ol’ man/woman concept if they want children.

“I hear you can buy whatever parts you want or the whole thing.”

Please forgive my morbid sense of humor, but I couldn’t help but think of this song in reply to your comment:

“I’d get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn’t cost me a dime
You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town
I’m gonna ride around in style
I’m gonna drive everybody wild
Cuz I’ll have the only one there is around”

Johnny Cash ~ One piece at a time

Yep. Lesbians need a real penis. Homos need a real uterus.
Sucks to be them. Maybe they should have chosen a different species instead of a same sex. They could go to the ASPCA and adopt.

The rest of the world is wising up. More and more nations are realizing that such adoptions and surrogacy are not happening for the benefit of the children, but for ulterior motives by the western “parents”. And some of these ulterior motives are downright evil.
