This is part I in a three part expert series spread over 18 years.
First you will need a baby or two.
This is a socially conservative essay, I do not advocate single parenthood, and have no experience raising children as part of a homosexual couple.
I have zero problems with gay parents- this is how I've raised my kids so far as a heterosexual, married to another heterosexual.
To get babies you need to get pregnant or adopt.
We went IVF, due to some exceptionally slow and lazy sperm of mine.
18 years of monogamous unprotected screwin spread over two relationships, no babies.
So we went to a clinic, where they offered me a cup and a video.
I opted for the home extraction, where I had access to better videos.
So we got the babies. Three embryos were implanted in her womb wall.
Two heartbeats were discovered in less than 3 weeks as I recall.
Wife did all the heavy lifting. I was available for Chinese food delivery and being screamed at.
Alas the day arrived. The twins were delivered cesarian. I stayed behind the curtain with my wife.
Allie didn't breathe for about 40 seconds.
To this day, she's still that stubborn with the same style and sense of humor.
Gabe was born 4 lbs 2 oz. He wouldn't eat on his own, so had a feeding tube up his nose and down his throat.
Every day I'd show up at the special care infant unit and patiently try and get him to eat at least 2 oz of formula.
This often took an hour or so.
Mom had to work so I did the deed.
