The Changing Conceptions of Family, Sexual Orientation and Role of Growinggenerations


The modern urban setups have had tremendous effects on the lifestyles of the people of all ages but it is the youth who have seen the greatest changes in their lifestyles and these changes have been painted in the background of the changed notions of family, sexual orientation and the choices of partners to live the life with.

The traditional notions of family have seen a great number of changes in the recent past and never have the new ideas regarding sexual relationships and family have received such a wide acceptance in the society and culture as it has been in the 21st century. The above mentioned changes have also impacted the way the children are born and brought up greatly.

It is a revealing fact that the first surrogacy agency for gay and lesbian couples had begun functioning in just before the start of the new century. These days there are a number of agencies that help the gay and lesbian couples enjoy the ultimate feeling of having a child and seeing it grow up amongst them. The growth in the modern science has also had a tremendous impact on the way the new generation is welcomed to the world. Methods such as egg donation, surrogacy and sperm donation have changed the lives of millions across the globe and their impact has been so great that they have also found acceptance in the countries of the third world which were earlier though to be reluctant of accepting new ideas in family planning and relationships amongst the youth.

One of the greatest advantages of the latest methods of having children has been the opportunity provided to the HIV positive men to see their offspring playing in their arms. The modern techniques have allowed the HIV positive men to use their sperm to create their own biological families.

The most common services provided by the agencies such as Growinggenerations are the following:


1. Surrogacy: This arrangement is basically done for the couples who are not able to have their own child due to various reasons. The child is carried and delivered by a surrogate mother who is impregnated through artificial insemination. The agencies provide full emotional and clinical support to the surrogate mother.
 
2. Egg Donation: This is the best choice for the gay couples or for women who are infertile. The profile and the background of the egg donor are discussed beforehand.

3. Sperm Donation: This is helpful for single women and lesbian couples or couples who are not able to have a child because of problems associated with men.
