Gays expecting multiple birth

London - Two gay men who fathered twins are now expecting another multiple birth

London - Two gay men who fathered twins are now expecting another multiple birth. Mr Barrie Drewitt and Mr Tony Barlow confirmed that an American surrogate mother was pregnant with at least two babies.

The millionaire businessmen, from Danbury, Essex, already have twins Aspen, a boy, and Saffron, a girl, who were born in America seven months ago by a surrogate mother.

The fathers made legal history by winning a court battle in the US allowing them to be jointly named as parents on the birth certificates.

They went on to win over Home Secretary Jack Straw who gave permission for them to bring the twins - who have American citizenship - to Britain.
