Britain’s first gay fathers have opened the country’s only surrogacy centre to cater for same sex couples.
Barrie
and Tony Drewitt-Barlow hit the headlines 12 years ago when they used a
surrogate mother and an egg donor to father twins Aspen and Saffron.
They now have five children and are sharing their surrogacy expertise with others.

Tony, 47, told Best magazine: ‘It’s about helping people who can’t normally have kids.

'I hope in 40 years time, whether you’re gay or straight, it won’t matter. If we can help same-sex parents become mainstream then our job is done.'
The couple sold their clinical testing business in 1998 and found themselves swamped by same-sex couples seeking advice.
So with Tony’s clinical expertise, they set up the British Surrogacy Centre in Maldon, Essex, in February 2011.
And not content with their brood, 42-year-old Barrie confesses he’d love to add another daughter to the family and take their total up to six kids.

The Drewitt-Barlows were the first British homosexual couple to be named on their children's birth certificates
