Men 60 and over are purchasing g babies through surrogacy yet the average life span of men in England is 78.8 years. What plans do they have in place if they die before the babies are legally adults?

By Sanchez Manning 14 September 2024

Almost 300 men aged over 50 have applied to become the legal father of a surrogate child over the past five years – and 43 of them are over 60, new figures reveal.

And a total of 95 single men applied to become a parent, reflecting a growing trend in men, especially older men, having babies alone with the help of surrogates.

Since the law changed in 2019 to give single people the same surrogacy rights as couple, there have been 2,162 applications from intended parents in England. 

A total of 293 would-be fathers are over 50, both solo and in couples, according to figures released following a Freedom of Information Act application from The Mail on Sunday.

Older women turning to surrogacy has already sparked debate, with high-profile figures such as Naomi Campbell using a surrogate to have children in their 50s.

And in June, a 72-year-old man was granted permission in Scotland to become the legal father of a three-year-old boy, born to a surrogate, despite the death of his wife.

Commenting on the new figures from the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service, fertility and family law expert Louisa Ghevaert said: ‘The numbers of single men and men over 50 applying for parental orders reflects wider trends in solo and later-life parenting that are set to continue.’

She added that the numbers also reflected ‘the fact there’s no legal upper age limit for a parental order’.

However, the latest disclosure has caused anger among some campaigners. Helen Gibson, of Surrogacy Concern, said: ‘We are appalled to see such high numbers of single men and older men pursuing surrogacy, often abroad and in commercial arrangements which are banned in the UK. This is a worrying trend in which mothers are erased from the lives of their children.’

But Alan White, of Surrogacy UK, said: ‘As a society, perhaps we’re more used to considering maternal instinct than we are paternal instinct, but the desire to become a parent can be strong whether you’re a man or a woman.’

The UK ranks as one of the worst countries to bring up twins and triplets, a shocking report has revealed.

Research from the Twins Trust found parents of such children are at least £20,000 worse off in the first year after birth, compared with those who have had two babies in succession.

In a ranking of developed nations that looked at financial help such as maternity pay, mental health support and childcare provision, the UK came 23rd out of 27.

Shauna Leven, chief executive of the Twins Trust, said: ‘This report lays bare the grim reality facing families with multiples – the financial burden, mental health toll and lack of support.’

The charity is calling on the Government to change maternity pay so it is paid per baby instead of per mother.

I 😤HATE🤬 the Royal Family but I can’t help but feel kind of bad for Kate Middleton because like… yes people were being super invasive about her whereabouts and making memes but that’s all because Kensington was doing the absolute fucking worst PR I’ve ever seen in human history for literally no reason like what the fuck was that all about with the obviously heavily Photoshopped pictures 😭 And letting her take the blame for it! And now it turns out she has cancer like jeez things are Not going Miss Catherine’s way lately are they

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]

[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

I've realized something during my re-watch of Poldark... it's not my favorite of AT's shows. While I love Poldark, and have yet to find another story that completely sweeps me away the way this one has, I think I actually like Desperate Romantics the best.

DR was 100% enjoyable, start to finish. It was funny, clever, surprising, entertaining, and just plain fun to watch. While many of the same things can be found in Poldark, this show never made me laugh, and I think that's what I value most when sitting down to watch something. (I should mention I don't care about historical accuracy in DR, or in most shows I watch for entertainment).

Below is a ranking of all of Aidan's shows/movies *that I've seen,* from my favorite to my least favorite.

Desperate Romantics

Poldark

And Then There Were None / Leonardo (tie)

Being Human

Love Is Blind

Hattie

The Suspect

Fifteen Love

Hitler Bigfoot

The Clinic / Alarm (tie)

It was a struggle for me to get into Being Human; it took several views because I just can't deal with the silly vampire/werewolf thing. But I gave it a shot because every episode features AT, and it's at least funny, and it was fun to watch.

I didn't really enjoy watching numbers 7 through 10. Best thing about those is getting to ogle Aidan. I haven't seen all of The Clinic, but the partial episodes I have seen bored me senseless. They were only interesting in that they featured baby Aidan Turner.

There's a bit of wiggle room in these, depending on what I'm using as my main reason for liking or disliking the shows. Overall, I'm rating them according to how enjoyable I found them.

Alarm is pretty bad, all around. There's not much that's likable about it, aside from Aidan Turner's fine ass.

How would you juggle the list for yourself?

are leftists finally ready to start worming our way into politics or are we gonna keep saying shit like ‘oh we wouldn’t make waves’. there’s so many ppl that back leftist policies without saying it outright and they have massive support as politicians. can we start running for office. can we start becoming a part of the table instead of watching from the outside and criticizing it. if we can’t win by peaceful protest, and we don’t wanna do violent protest, why can’t we win by their own game? fuck i don’t care if we start a communist party and name it ‘ really nice centrist liberals’ we are not politically active enough. we need to start becoming mayors and senators and mps. why are we sitting down and watching while the two party system pushes us further to fascism?

So I made the mistake of trying to understand the military structure of the GAR and was immediately hit with weird ordering of ranks, a mix of commissioned and non-commisssioned/enlisted ranks and a mix of Navy, Army and Air Force ranks. It is simaltanously very closely based on the US's armed forces structure aswell as looking like someone who has only heard military ranks in passing and didn't even do the minimum research into what all the ranks are. I am so confused.

🥇— [ 1ST PLACE ]

London, UK — (46.8%).

Sweeping the ranking, your crowned look was one we haven’t been able to stop dreaming about. For the London show, Louis wore a full Saul Nash ensemble consisting of a gorgeous Rib Detail Vest and Red Drawstring Tasselled Track Pants.

🥈— [ 2ND PLACE ]

Manchester, UK — (18.4%).

Whenever Louis walks out in Aimé Leon Dore, we know it will be an instant classic. For the anniversary show of Faith In The Future, Louis wore a statement piece from the brand: a Podium Jacket in Pink and Red with wrapping graphics.

🥉— [ 3RD PLACE ]

Cardiff, UK — (17.8%).

Who doesn’t love Louis in Polos? Coming in third place, this Casablanca Loto-Patch Bouclé Polo Shirt in White and Green reminded us of how much retro-infused takes on wardrobe classics fit Louis’ stage style.
