Just stopping by-have a good week!
I'm sure everyone of us has heard about the man who uesd to be a woman, that was pregnant and had a child. I liked this story because it shows that we all strive for the love of a child in our family.
Thomas Beatie, who is legally male but decided to keep his female sex organs during chest reconstruction surgery and testosterone therapy, attracted worldwide attention in April after revealing his for his pregnancy. Now he is giving birth a baby girl. Beatie, who sports a beard, was dubbed the 'pregnant man' after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's television talk show to discuss his pregnancy.
"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child," Beatie told the chat show queen. Beatie's unusual situation first became public when he wrote an article in the leading US gay magazine The Advocate in March, entitled "Labor of Love." "To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don't appear in the least unusual," he wrote, explaining that his wife was unable to have a child after undergoing a hysterectomy. So he chose to become pregnant by artificial insemination he said. "Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns," Beatie wrote, adding the couple had experienced opposition from health care professionals, friends and family. One doctor refused to treat the couple, after consulting an ethics board."How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," Beatie wrote.
