'Doting Dads' in Australia





This article focuses on GAY DADS AUSTRALIA, a national group celebrating fatherhood through online forums, gatherings and resource exchange. Several methods are discussed--
  1. Surrogacy
  2. Known Donor
  3. Co-parenting
  4. Adoption.

They've found the biggest issue for a gay man (or couple) in co-parenting with a lesbian couple can be planning and maintaining a reasonable arrangement--visits, care, etc. Due to high divorce rates, australian children may have four heterosexual parents through divorce and remarriage. Children of gay parents often have similarly large families--two parents and their partners. The logistics in both cases is daunting.
