Elton John Surrogate Baby

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Livermore, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 30, 2010 -- Singer Elton John, 62, and partner David Furnish, 48 announce the birth of their son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John on December 25 2010 by surrogate mother in California. "And they shall be Levon" was a line in one of Elton's songs. California is one of the few states that has no laws against or banning surrogacy. Reports are that the couple chose California because of the more flexible laws especially with regards to gay and lesbian parents seeking surrogates.

The surrogate birth fulfills their dream to become parents. The child is the first for the couple. However, in 2009 they traveled to an orphanage in the Ukraine to try and adopt 2 young brothers. Their application to adopt was declined by the Ukrainian authorities. "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of all the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," Elton John told reporters then.

"For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents. And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky. We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment," Said Elton John.

The legendary songwriter, performer and now new father spoke to the media about his excitement. "Zachary is healthy and doing well." The surrogate mother's name was not released. Although this is John and Furnish's first child, the five-time Grammy winner and partner have 6 godchildren, including John Lennon's son, Sean; Elizabeth Hurley's son, Damien; and David and Victoria Beckham's two sons, Brooklyn and Romeo.With so many unknowns in going overseas for surrogacy, this is further evidence that surrogate parenting can more done more safely right here in California.
