Sexuality isn’t a barrier when it comes to wanting a child – or being a great parent for that matter – but it sure makes having one a lot more difficult.

 

24-year old Samuel Leighton-Dore knows this all too well, and so he approached his sister Bronte, asking her to be the mother of his child.

 

And we know, at first glance that seems a little crazy in a tacky true life magazine kind of way, but Bronte is actually donating her eggs and not carrying the child, and the sperm will come from his partner Bradley. They have yet to find a surrogate to carry the baby.

“As would be expected when broaching such potentially uncomfortable subjects, I first ran the idea past my sister while we were both a little drunk at a family function,” Samuel wrote in a blog post for Mamamia. To my surprise, she squealed in delight at the prospect. ‘Let's do it!’”

 

The couple first tried adoption, but then decided they wanted a child who could “see where he or she came from when they look up at their parents”.

“The only possible chance my partner and I have of waving our respective biological flags in our future kid's DNA is if my sister donates an egg for my partner's sperm,” he wrote.

 

“Call me selfish, call me vain, call me gross – but I can't think of anything more spine-tinglingly spectacular than finding cheeky glimmers of my parents in the face and personality of my child.

 

“At the end of the day, there's no right or wrong way to bring a loved child into the world.”
