I am a pre-operative transsexual. Where can I go to save my sperm before my SRS?
I'm American, but I've been living and working in Uganda for the past 8 years. I tried to adopt from Ukraine for 3.5 years and after spending about 25k, I found myself back exactly where I had started.
Then last June (2007) four embroyos that were half me got transferred into a Ugandan woman without my permission. I never met this surrogate and she never signed any surrogacy documents. It was classic East Africa confusion. This surrogate then completely disappeared and I never knew if she became pregnant.
Hi from Australia. Late last year (2007) we worked with National Geographic in Australia to present a story of how we (Rodney and Jeff) became dads to a wonderful baby boy called Ethan.

Welcome to the Growing Generations Blog on ProudParenting.com. Our agency is the oldest and largest surrogacy and egg donor agency dedicated to the LGBT community My name is Stuart Miller and I am the CEO and one of the four owners of Growing Generations. My partner and I just welcomed our first child through surrogacy and egg donation on February 20, 2008. We are so happy and you'll hear more about that later! First, let me introduce you to the other owners:
Just a short introduction to say hi from Rodney and Jeff and our son Ethan from Richmond, Victoria in Australia. We are a gay male couple who have had a son via surrogacy. Our son was born in Ohio to our wonderful surrogate, Kelly. Ethan is now 12 months old and just started walking....boy are we kept on our toes!
We are part of an ever growing group in Australia of Gay men and couples who are having children via surrogacy in the US. It is illegal to practice commercial surrogacy in AUstralia, so we all need to venture to places like the US or Canada in order to create our family.
Brad and I just returned from our match meeting with a surrogate. We met a very nice lesbian couple who have been together for 5 years and have 3 children of their own. Our prospective surrogate was a surrogate for a gay man last year and gave birth to twins. The meeting went very well. Of course, Brad and I were very excited and nervous going into the meeting, but relaxed pretty quickly.
It only took us a couple of months to get connected with our surrogate, then before we knew it we were pregnant - first try.
Well, we've made a decision on having a child together and it has been a little nerve racking. We saw the fertility doctor last week and we are just waiting on the go from the insurance. Waiting is the worse but I hope it all works out. I plan to carry my partners egg using a sperm donor because she's too chicken to give birth herself, lol. It is alot of work to do this process between the lawyers and seeing a psychiatrist to make sure we are in the right state of mind for all this but I know it will be all worth it!!
