Now single men who do not want burden of full time commitment of marriage but have raging paternal instincts are trying a novel method to satisfy the urge of becoming a father.
In Anand, the surrogate capital in Gujarat where Infertility specialist Dr. Naina Patel has helped several childless couple to taste the joy of parenthood through surrogate, has many single men lining up with their donated eggs and a surrogate mother to become a father.
Rafa, a Spanish teacher has just become a father(or should I say motherly father) of twins. He donated his eggs, got a woman to act as a surrogate mother and bingo he became a father without the hassles of a wife. Obviously it was not so easy for him because he had to prove his credentials financially as well as his supporting family to look after after the babies. He did not want to marry but wanted to become a father, so he opted for this. Now he is a happy unmarried father.
Another case is of an expat 28 year old Indian in USA. He met with an accident which made him paraplegic. Getting married for him was an extension of his sufferings because it would have been a pity marriage. But he wanted someone whom he could call his own, his own flesh and blood. So he also opted for surrogate fatherhood and was recently blessed with a boy. Now he has a purpose to live. There are other cases like this who are taking this step.
Surrogacy and fatherhood is great, it can fulfill all your fantasies with no strings attached. But does the old adage of a child needing both mother and father for proper development has changed now?
