A gay man has spoken of his joy after his mother gave birth to his child, following a surrogate pregnancy.
Anne-Marie Casson, 46, gave birth to baby Miles via C-section, after a donor egg was fertilised with the sperm of her 27-year-old son, Kyle.
Kyle, 27, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire is believed to be the first single man in the UK to have a child through surrogacy, and also the first man to use his own mother as a surrogate host.
But after a High Court ruling, he can now become the child’s legal father, despite also legally being the youngster’s brother.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mrs Casson said: ‘When he first came to me and his dad, I thought ‘I could do it’. Some people, when they did find out, said “urgh”, but they don’t understand.
‘He is not biologically tied to me, other than he’s my grandson. I love being a parent and for Kyle to experience that, I would do that for him.’
Before Mrs Casson became the surrogate host, Kyle had been rejected by several surrogacy clinics, and turned to his mother as a last resort.
Kyle said: ‘I understand that not everyone will agree with it, but they can have their opinions. I have a son and I am very happy.
‘As long as people can provide a home, and they have the support, I don’t see why anyone should be denied the right to be a parent.
‘Regardless of sexuality, gender, as long as you can provide for the child, I don’t see what the problem is. I paid for it myself, it’s not taxpayers’ money, I own my own home, I am going back to work’.
He added that he would never hide the details of his son’s conception from him.
‘I am never going to lie to him. We will tell him at appropriate stages in his life, you have to be truthful, there is no other way’, he said.
‘He will also know that he is very much wanted.’
Delivering the landmark ruling earlier this week, Mrs Justice Theis said: ‘The arrangement the parties entered into is not one, as far as I am aware, that either this court or the clinic has previously encountered and although highly unusual, is entirely lawful under the relevant statutory provisions.
She added: ‘The papers show that for some considerable time he has wanted to be a father.
‘He waited until his circumstances were settled in terms of a job and home to enable him to provide the care a child would need’.
Although Kyle has said he is ‘very happy’, he admitted that he is aware that the case is highly controversial.
‘I understand that not everyone will agree with it, but they can have their opinions,’ he said.
‘I have a son and I am very happy.’
‘As long as people can provide a home, and they have the support, I don’t see why anyone should be denied the right to be a parent’.

Ok - I’m slow on the uptake tonight.
I figured out what’s bugging me.
(Gotta watch how you type that phrase.)
In every quote from the “father” all he talks about is how happy *HE* is.
*HE* wanted the joy of being a parent.
*HE* will provide.
*HE* deserves the opportunity to raise children.
*HE* used his own money.
The only thing the kid is guaranteed is that he will have the most self-centered faggot in Britain as a “father.”

Nailed it.
I think that this kid is being born as a political statement and a bid for attention, and I really wonder what will happen to it when the cameras turn off.
Very demonic and very selfish.
Disposable people. Yay.
May Almighty God help the kid...
I have two sons, both adopted three days after birth, born five years apart.
From my personal experience - If you assume parenthood with the notion that it is somehow all about making *YOU* happy, then you are very much in the wrong business.
It works out lots better when you come at it from the point of view that you have a good life already and you’re willing to give it to a helpless human who needs love. And stuff too.
Stuff isn’t the main thing, but it doesn’t hurt.
And while I agree with Doc Holiday that “There is no “normal” life, Wyatt” that does not preclude the fact that there are some sorts of life that are decidedly *abnormal*.
And Yeah, Buddy! THIS is abnormal.

Good place for it.
IMO, it’s worse.

So many barf shots and so little time! :0)
There that, je ne sais quoi, factor - “Eeeewwwwwwww!”
There are lots more issues here than meets the eye...
First time grandmom plays the mommy card, and it will come, daddy’s little girl will be a raving narcissistic mentally unstable loner
