For almost six months, we have been

For almost six months, we have been stuck in Thailand, faced with the possibility of losing our jobs and our house back in the US because we cannot leave. If we leave, we risk the greatest loss of all -- our beautiful baby daughter, Carmen. All this because our surrogate doesn’t want Carmen to be raised by gay parents, and the law that should give me full parental powers excludes me from obtaining them because I am gay.

We chose Thailand for gestational surrogacy, where an egg donor is used (our surrogate is not even Carmen's biological mother). Our agency seemed reputable. They never warned us there could be any problem doing this as a gay couple. We certainly would have never started the process if we had known what we know now.

The surrogate was friendly and willing to sign all documents, right up until Carmen was three days old, and she met Manuel, my spouse. When she realized we aren’t an “ordinary” family, in her words, she shut down the process allowing us to take Carmen home.

Now, not only does the surrogate refuse to cooperate, but a new law in Thailand has outlawed surrogacy. And even though this new law has a temporary provision allowing all intended parents to claim full parental rights over their children, it, too, is discriminatory as it uses the phrase "husband and wife," hence closing the clear path to exiting the country that Carmen should be eligible for, because we are a gay couple.

We are good people who have gotten tangled up in a big problem. We only want to return home to our families with our daughter.
