Thomas Beatie

I just got through watching him and his wife on Oprah. I must say they are the only reason I turn on her show. I personally do not care for her or her show anymore and too many people have given her too much power. But that's not why I am writing. Mr. Beatie and his wife showed the world two incredibly in love people. And two people who deserved and should have everyone's respect. Why is it so hard for anyone to not think they are "normal"? They want a child together, they want a life together, and most of all, what right do we have to say they don't deserve this? I respect them both by doing the right thing and having a family and I can bet they will be wonderfully loving and devoted parents. Kudos to you both and don't ever let anyone get you down. Love for a child no matter how they get here is one of life's most beautiful rewards -- enjoy.
