BBC News - Sir Elton John becomes father via surrogate

The child will be very well looked after and have a wonderful quality of life, surely that's all that matters?

 

[Stat Brother]

I guess, as this thread isn't going to last long, I'd better make my point now.

I was surprised neither Reginald or Dwight appear in junior's name.

If Christiano Ronaldo can do it...

Exactly.

There's nothing to substantiate that apart from your own personal bigotry. The child would be far better off with two parents who care about each other whatever their gender than have two parents who don't get along. The only problem the child will have is with dealing with other people's ignorance, just like black children used to not so long ago.

Not entirely.

John is 62. They've been together for 17 years. Why do it now?

The poor kid will have to deal with the loss of one of his parents at a comparatively young age.

Anyone with Elton John as a father will surely be bullied !

 

[cardboard]

Its a little bit funny - this feeling inside.

 

[Don Quixote]

Aren't children brought up with a man and a woman usually? I don't think this is a good idea, it won't have a mother and that is a very important aspect of life.

why could'nt they adopt?

I think it's quite refreshing that this is what the main debate is about, not the fact the child will have 2 dads. Got some lesbian mums at my kids school and no-one really seems to be bothered. It didn't do baby p and others much good to have a man and woman looking after him!

I think Elton is considered to be too old to adopt.

I don't have a problem with this, as long as the child is cared for and given a decent home.

too old to adopt but they can have a surrogate baby.......I flaw in this plan I see!

 

[Stat Brother]

A question that brings Sinitta to mind.
She would rather nearly die, at least twice, in order to have 'her own child'.

She's now a 'cause celeb' for adoption having realised that adopting isn't the end of the world, as he had previously assumed.

But maybe multi multi multi millionaire Elton John, wouldn't.

His/their time away from home would be an obstacle, though.

I'd adopt Elton, whatever his age. Take him under my wing. Tell him a little about the world as i see it. Treat him like the OAP son i never had.

In terms of him and his partner adopting, i can't imagine the nipper being any worse off than any other child. I have no insight into their lives and can only think they'll do the best they can. Best of luck to them all. They have my unwanted blessing.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

His sexuality has little to do with this issue.

It's the fact a 63 year old man went out and bought a baby.


Call me old fashioned but the purpose of having a child is hopefully that you'll be there for them through their life to support them, mentor them and just be there for them.

Given he'll probably be dead by the time he's 18 it does seem a rather selfish act.

Don't remember this one causing so much fuss on here - Rod will be 66 when the baby is born in February.
