News >>

Reported on 14 June 2010. Newswise reports on the first study ever to examine the experiences of gay male partners who became fathers via surrogacy shows that they are more likely than heterosexual fathers to scale back their careers in order to care for their children. Also, these fathers report that their self-esteem and their closeness with their extended families increases after becoming parents. The research was undertaken by psychology researchers from the Rockway Institute in the USA. See the report in Newswise:
