if you’d be a good fan of ricky martin, you’d know he’s not the type of person to tell the press what he’s gonna do with his personal life. and it’s been known that he love kids! so..congrats ricky! I WANNA SEE MORE PICS!

I think everyone has been quite respectful in voicing their congratulations to Ricky and his twins. I too was a bit surprised at first until I thought about it and I have always known he wanted kids. I looked into the invitro and found that there have been several “straight” men who have gone this route because they couldn’t find ms. right. About him adopting he may have tried and found a long waiting list or because he is single they said no way. I remember a woman saying her state frowns on even single women adopting now. He is supporting 3 girls in India until they are 18 because no one can adopt Indian children and take them out of the country. He visits as often as he can and they email each other often.

I don’t care if you’re a man or woman – purposely setting up a child to be disadvantaged in a one-parent household because YOU want children is selfish on your part. There are no heroes here.

congrats Ricky!!

I think this was unexpected – simply because it’s not something that happens everyday (a father seeking a surrogate mother for children). Speculation about this and his sexuality is perfectly normal, provided it doesn’t leak into sexism – after all, we all speculate and become essentially nosy every time we visit CBB!

I think it’s great that Ricky has chosen to have children – irrespective of his sexuality. I believe it is the right of every person to have a child, no matter their sexual orientation or relationship status. As one poster commented – it is sometimes better for a child to be raised by one loving parents than two dysfunctional ones.

I have an aunt who, due to career choices and relationship issues, has reached a point in her life where she wants children. She isn’t in a relationship and still has a dream of having four children. She is considering artificial insemination. In society’s eyes, it would probably be less “controversial” to do this than for a father – yet the right is the same.

So, my congratulations go out to Ricky and his babies. I don’t know a lot about him, but the little I have read here at CBB convinces me that he’ll be a great Dad.

I’m hoping that single people, straight or gay, becoming parents will become more normal and accepted.

Some people recognize that marrying or moving in with a partner may not be in the cards but that they want kids —- especially while they’re still young enough to give the kids the best of themselves and to have their own kids. And these people surround the child with aunts, uncles and friends so the kid has lots of love.

So good on Ricky for satisfying his dream of being a dad and for not waiting till he was too old.

I’d sure like to know the day they were born (and their names!) when it becomes available. I have kept a record of all the celeb Moms and Dads that gave birth since January.

WOW, I definitely did not see this coming. I never thought he’s gay, though he has many gay fans! But I actually read this before reading about Gwen’s new baby whom I’ve been waiting for so long, this was shocking news.
Im happy for him, congrats Ricky

Congrats Ricky! You’re going to be an amazing dad!
