Trans Dad Carries Baby with Gay Partners
31 Mar
Summary
- A trans man, Kris, became pregnant via IVF with his two gay partners.
- Kris underwent a controversial surgery that removed his ovaries, impacting fertility.
- The family pursued IVF abroad due to Norway's legal classifications for gender.
- They plan to be open with their child about their unique family structure.
A trans man, Kris, has openly documented his pregnancy and parenting journey with his two gay partners, David and Sindre. Living in Norway, the trio faced significant emotional and logistical challenges. Kris, who had previously undergone surgery resulting in the removal of his ovaries, believed he would be unable to have children.
However, doctors later confirmed his uterus remained healthy, opening the possibility for them to pursue IVF. This led them to spend thousands on donor eggs and embryo insertion. The pregnancy itself was an emotional experience for Kris, compounded by a traumatic prior surgery.
He recounted his struggle to obtain a national ID number in Norway, which mandated ovary removal for gender affirmation, a procedure he felt was akin to castration. Despite initial beliefs that his uterus was damaged by testosterone treatment, Kris became pregnant via IVF and a donor egg on May 2, 2022.
They opted to go abroad for the procedure, as Kris was legally recognized as male in Norway and thus did not qualify for fertility treatments. The family welcomed their baby daughter in 2023. They are planning another child through IVF, incurring further costs.
David and Sindre expressed their commitment to complete honesty with their child regarding their family's unique formation. They are also dedicated to being the best possible fathers. The couple hopes for a future where Kris receives governmental apology for their suffering.
