  1. Oh my gosh I love Marcellas and Gretchen!!!!!!! 08/31/2005 HC shows was so incredibly funny! I loved his laughing and I always enjoy his candor. I swear, he ALWAYS says what I am thinking. He hits it on the nail with his comments. If you haven't watched HC, you all should watch it!... I agree with Marc ... Barely 40 is calling Busto!
  2. I wasn't paid for being a surrogate. I became a surrogate because my friend (who were partners for longer than most people's marriages last) could not adopt by law in their state. It made me so angry that two loving people, who were kind to the core, were not "allowed" to adopt a child. There are so many children who need homes, and they weren't allowed to adopt because of their "lifestyle". When I presented the idea to my husband, he thought it would be a wonderful thing to do. My husband was so supportive of me helping our friends. They paid for the RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) to create the child. They went that route because they both wanted to be a part of thier child. I offered my egg to make it easier, but one of the partners sister donated the egg. I gave birth in my state so that the juridiction of the childs parentage could proceed in my state. The state in which I live is thank goodness not a "conservative" state. Therefore they were able to be "Parent 1" and "Parent 2". Therefore even though by law in their state they were not allowed to adopt, because the child was a product of a surrogacy and born in my state the laws regarding the child and his/her parentage had to take place in my more liberal state. They paid for the medications, creation of the embryo, and the transfer of the embryo. They paid me with love and attention, but no monetary gifts. Where I live you can become a surrogate, but monetary gifts are forbidden. Besides, if I had to put a price on the actual part of being pregnant, it would be priceless. I don't think that any amount of money would make someone want to carry a child for people they don't truly care about. When you become a woman "lots" let me know the price you would put on being pregnant. For a selfish person like you, I can imagine you would make someone pay "thousands" for the gift of carring a child. And with that said, I am not answering anymore of the horrible comments spewing from "LOTs" mouth. BTW ... I still LOVE HC's, Gretchen and Marcellas, and hope that everyone will support and watch that great show!!!!
  3. You are correct. My friends wanted the baby to be a part of them. Therefore, one donated the the sperm, and they had a relative of his partner donate an egg. I considered myself a friend and babysitter. It sounds like "Lot" is very sad little selfish person. Thank you Jessica
  4. Dear Marcellas, Thank you for your comment, you have truly made my day!!! I think you are fabulous and am happy that a primetime network is featuring a wonderful person with great insight on its show HCs. Love you - Jessica Dear "Lots": What I did was assist friends in having a child of their own that they otherwise may never have had the opportunity to have. (I have a wonderful family of my own.) I did it for two very special and incredible people that wanted a family with children, just like most people do. I do not seek the approval of people with negative views like yourself. My husband was supportive and wanted our friends to have the opportunity to raise a normal family like we were doing ourselves. I did not "give away" my child. The child that was born was born to two loving fathers who wanted her for the past 15 years of their lives. The child they have was a product of them. Thankfully there are many wonderful surrogates out there that think about others and not only themselves. For nine months of my life I was treated like a queen by my two great friends. I don't mean monitarily (Surrogacy between friends does not involve being given money) but by their support and love for my family and thier child. You really must live a sad life "lots".
  5. The only reason that I pointed out that I was a surrogate, is because I am a person who feels VERY strongly that homosexuals (gay and lesbian) should not be treated differently from heterosexuals. I felt SO strongly about that issue that I decided to help two friends who could not adopt in the state they lived in, which is very sad. It is extremely upsetting to me that the "moral" majority can make these absurd rules. As to children not being keen to seeing or knowing about homosexuality is akin to saying that it is wrong. I am only saying that if a parent thinks that "shielding" their child from knowing about homosexuality will make them not become one, then they are wrong. All of the gay friends I know came into the world as a product of "heterosexual" homes. That is the reason I brought up that issue. 8) I have heard worse talk about sexual induendos on primetime tv, try watching episodes of Seinfeld (the episode about who could go longest without masterbating episode), Friends (the episode where Monica is in bed with a minor), Scrubs (where every episode is about who the doctors what to sleep with next), Jake in Progress (aa show that is all about who the main character will bed next). If you think HC is bad, try watching primetime television.
  6. I have to say, that if you don't like their show, don't watch it. I truly watch Housecalls because I love the views of Marcellas and Gretchen. They are not fake like some of the hosts of other reality tv shows. So... Please stop being a hater people!!! Oh, by the way, my son watches BB with my husband and I, and he always comments on how Beau talks funny. I think you are right in saying that he puts a bad connotation on being gay. I swear he is a wannabe Marcellas, with an emphasis on wannabe. Now mind you, my son is exposed to the many gay friends my husband and I have. In fact I was a surrogate for a set of friends that were two great men (together for 15 years) that wanted a baby, so he knows what gay is, but hasn't met any gay friends that are like the way Beau is being portrayed. (on a side note the same-sex daddies are the best daddies their little girl could have!!!) I feel bad for others that are not part of the gay community that think he may be the "norm" of being homosexual. P.S. Marcellas, you are FABULOUS!!!!! and Gretchen - Congrats on being engaged!!!
