Gay Kentucky Dads Expecting Quadruplets
Surrogate Mother A Customer Of Couple
Posted: 10:29 a.m. EDT June 24, 2002

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Two gay men in Kentucky are getting ready to be dads -- four times over.

A surrogate mother is due to give birth to their quadruplets in August. Michael Meehan is the biological father of the quadruplets, who were conceived through in-vitro fertilization. The mother is a customer at a hair salon owned by Meehan and his partner, Thomas Dysarz.

Meehan told the Lexington News-Leader that the most important thing is to raise their children to be good people.

Groups involved in surrogacy and gay parenting said they know of no other gay couples who had quadruplets.

Quadruplets are uncommon under any circumstances. In Kentucky, only 18 sets have been born since 1975.

I wonder if the national media is going to be fawning all over them, like they did the McCoys(sp) with the 8 kids.

I don't want to know the breast feeding situation. Do nipple rings prevent lactation?
