defiant gestational carriers

From the NY Times (need to have a free login or a subscribtion):

John Weltman, a Boston lawyer, had a challenging time finding women to carry children for gay men when he founded Circle Surrogacy a decade ago. Today, he said, 80 percent of the surrogate mothers who come to him say they would be willing to work with gay couples, and half prefer to work with gay couples.

Working with gay couples, psychologists say, minimizes the need for a certain kind of emotional vigilance that can displace the surrogate's own needs from center stage. "Surrogate mothers who work with heterosexual couples need to be incredibly sensitive to the loss and trauma that the infertile woman has suffered," Dr. Hanafin said.
Some surrogates also say they find the sense of defiance in providing gay couples with children meaningful.

Very interesting. Not in the market for one myself, however oddly comforting during these interesting times of gay marriage battles, school tolerance program wars, Queer Eye, and The L Word.
