On Tuesday we learned the happy news that music legend Elton John and his husband David Furnish welcomed the birth of a baby boy on Xmas Day which was born via surrogate mother. Today we get to hear from Elton himself in a new interview about the birth of his newborn son which, he reveals, fulfills a longtime dream of the couple.
“We have fulfilled a dream in finally becoming parents, and are so happy and excited at this very special time. Zachary is a gorgeous little baby and we are so proud of him. A friend gave us a book of baby names, and we started to flick through it, but we have always loved the name Zachary and kept coming back to it. In the end, we looked at each other, and put the book back on shelf, and said, ‘This is it!’”
Elton and David tried to adopt a child from the Ukraine last year but were denied the adoption based on Elton‘s advanced age (62) and his hectic travel schedule (as a music performer). Since that time, Elton and David revealed that they really wanted to become parents … so they went about planning for the surrogate conception and birth of their son Zachary Jackson. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Elton and David‘s becoming parents has fulfilled a dream of many … many same-sex couples that would like to have children of their own and have taken inspiration from high profile couples like Elton and David and Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka (who became happy parents of twin children born from a surrogate mother back in October). Congrats, again, to the happy new dads … here’s to a long and very happy life of fatherhood :D
