![]() As far as I was aware, in this country, if you want to adopt you put your names forward, go through the necessary regulations and checks to ensure you can provide a loving home to a child, and then just wait your turn Providing you meet the requirements, when your chance comes along, you are given your baby .... without any money ever changing hands |

Didn't Rylan mention on BOTS a couple of weeks ago that an HM was quoted as saying he'd want Emma W to be a surrogate mum to his child..? And Emma correctly guessed it was Andy who said it!
Andy would make a great dad, no question ![]()

It mentions surrogacy and adopting from abroad as well as legal implications + private adoptions here in the UK. Adopting and surrogacy can cost a lot of money. I really can't see the problem here at all. It seems a perfectly reasonable use of the money and even if it wasn't used for surrogacy etc don't all the parents in the House want the money for their kids? It's just an extension of that surely. I think it's a pity they haven't let us hear more of Andy's conversations about this as the BOTS example shows there have been some. This wouldn't be nearly so suspicious if they had done that. |

![]() Yes there are babies enough for everyone, if only. Neither of you seem to have bothered to read the post.

I know nothing at all about surrogacy, what rules and regulations are applied to it in this country, or if IVF is available in those cases ... I'm pretty sure there are laws that prevent the 'purchase' of a baby in those circumstances though As to the 'private adoption agencies' you refer to ... what are they then ? ... how do they work ? ... and where do they get these babies who's lives and futures they make a profit out of ? |

I adore my adopted grandchild - now 5 and who has blossomed beyond recognition over the last two years from the sad little boy who arrived. |

Yes | did read it and would have no problem with Andy using it for adoption, and it would be really useful to have for raising any child. The poster was giving details of the worst case scenario, surrogacy and adoption abroad. If you are desperate to have your genes continuing the family line, surrogacy would be the way to go. But if you want a child to complete your family adoption would be best. Yes, you are right, there is a shortage of babies - but there are plenty of older children in the UK who need still loving homes.

It's up to Andy really how he wants to go about having a child and he's as entitled to have a baby as any other father is. Adopting actually isn't always clear cut for gay couples as I'm sure you know and is actually a difficult process for all couples. All I was saying was that spending any winnings this way is as good a way to spend the money as any other and you don't seem to disagree with that

I've got a gay friend in a similar situation.
He made friends with a nice lesbian couple who wanted a kid too. Use a turkey baster a couple of times and arrange things legally between yourselves. Simples. |

I was going to make an Elton and David Furnish 'quip' but Andy seems like a genuinely lovely guy so I hope he's not heartbroken when he leaves the house and the stuff about Ed is all lies
![]() I think he'd be a great dad. Quote:
He might decide that he doesn't want kids with Ed when he reads those stories about Ed being on Grindr. But who knows? Maybe they have an open relationship.
I must have missed something. What's the story about Ed? I didn't like him when he was in the house, so feel free to dish the dirt!

It's never nice when you let dislike spill over into body shaming
![]() There I got my sanctimonious dig in ![]() No idea why people are confused or questioning Andy about this. He clearly wants a kid and according to this thread it has been mentioned at least once before, he's no doubt mentioned it loads but BB have chosen not to show it, he's getting married so having a kid often comes next, surrogacy costs so why not hope to win and want to use the money towards it. Surely people aren't suggesting he's lying and doesn't really want a kid ![]() The only anti seems to be Ed but Andy doesn't know about the accusations and in fact we don't categorically know. I personally think it's as good a use for the money as anything else. |

It was in one of the trash rags that Ed was looking for casual sex on Grindr.
Quote:
There were bits of conversation published between Ed and some bloke on a website called Grinder or Grndr or summat ... anyway, it's a place where gay men trawl for casual sex ( this happened while Andy was in the house, and after Ed had proposed )
Ed said that he'd been advised not to respond to the accusation I think that was it I hope there's no truth in it (for Andy's sake). He doesn't seem the type of guy who would be up for that sort of malarkey, but you never know.

though probably not as uncomfortable as knowing there are people who hope it is true & are looking forward to a nice gloat.

Really hope not, not a nice thing to be ambushed with & I'm finding it uncomfortable knowing 'something' (as in that the story exists, true or not) that he is oblivious to
