It can be even more challenging in a same sex relationship. In some countries, they do not allow adoption to gay parents … which is ridiculous but that’s not today’s topic. If you want a baby with your own DNA, you need to find a sperm donor in the instance of a two woman relationship. You need to find an egg donor and a surrogate to carry your baby in the instance of a two man relationship. At the end of the day and beyond the technical challenges, the emotional struggle is not much different whether you’re in a same sex or heterosexual relationship.
