Excerpts from a WHDH news story
Air Date: 10/24/2005

When 2 year old Marley grows up she'll have quite the story to tell about how she came into this world.

Her father is Andy Abowitz... Her biological mother is an egg donor, and Bonnie Davis from New Hampshire is Marley's surrogate.

Bonnie Davis - Surrogate
"It's kind of like having a long distance niece that I just happened to help bring into the world."

And in the next month or so, Bonnie will be helping Andy expand his family.

Andy Abowitz - Father
"Are you having two new brothers? Where are your brothers?"

As Marley understands it, her twin brothers are in Bonnie's belly.

Andy is part of a growing trend, where hundreds of gay men are hiring companies like "Circle Surrogacy" in Boston.

A controversial practice that's gaining popularity. More and more women are becoming egg donors or surrogates for same sex couples.

Andy Abowitz - Father
"I think it's okay for children to be raised in a family that is full of love and support, education and those are the things I hold true to."

Bonnie Davis - Surrogate
"As long as they are good parents, that's all that should matter. I mean you have a mom-dad factor and they're not always good parents…
