Gay Couple to Ruin Their Lives and Have Three Kids by Three Surrogates
Luke Harris, 50, and Daryl Lee, 41, a couple from Surrey, England, eager to get their family started, are going all-out on parenthood: They're expecting three kids via three surrogates between January and July of next year.
Two of the children have been conceived by Lee's sperm and the third by a Harris'. The couple is calling their forthcoming brood "twiplets." "When we told our families we are having our first surrogate baby, they were so excited for us, as they know for the past 15 years we've dreamed of having a family of our own," Harris told the Sun. "We never imagined in our wildest dreams we would have three all at once."
According to the Telegraph, the couple's surrogacy-spree kicked off with three-time surrogate Becky Harris (no relation). "I absolutely love being pregnant," Becky Harris told the Daily Mail.
Becky was already pregnant with another couple's child when she agreed to carry Luke and Daryl's, so she put them in contact with her former sister-in-law, Bex Harris, who also agreed to become a surrogate for the couple. Word caught on, apparently: Bex's best friend, Viktoria Ellis, got in on the action, too, becoming the couple's third surrogate.
The couple initially considered adoption, but told the Daily Mail that they were inspired (really!) by Elton John and his husband David Furnish having a child by surrogacy.
"While it is unorthodox to have three surrogates at the same time, we couldn't turn down what could be our only chance to have the big family we'd always dreamed of," Lee told the Daily Mail.
These guys appear to have no idea what they're getting themselves into.
