The Welfare Of The Child Isn't Even An Afterthought...

For us, the ideal parenting setup would consist of three or four of us sharing responsibility for a child (the others involved would also be responsible for providing the sperm). The way we see it, why not use the implicit obstacles we face as a same-sex couple to become parents in a way that works for us and redefines the family unit completely?

No thought here for what might be best for the child. I guess such monumental selfishness is only to be expected in people whose sexual identity seems to be the overwhelming driving force in their lives... 

There are a number of different matching services out there for those looking to find someone to raise a child with: PollenTree, CoParents, Just a Baby and others. We haven’t been impressed by the design of the websites or in some cases their charges, and some of them harbour some distinct creepiness.

Only some of them? How have such services sprung up, anyway?

Our first real contact with this world was last year at the Modern Family Show in London, an annual event for LGBTQ+ people looking to start families.

Aptly named, I fear.... David Thompson covers this too. Comments as always are illuminating.
