Mumbai is definitely a city of dreams for many and once again Mumbai has proved it. This time, the lucky ones is the gay couple, Alan and Brian, a deaf-and-mute gay American couple, who was trying for a baby in the US for about six years but failed, post which, they decided to visit Mumbai in India to get the IVF done enabling them to complete their family.

And definitely they couldn't find a better place to have their twins, a girl and a boy, whom they have found after the in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which has entirely changed their life and turned their dream for having a complete family in to reality.

"We have been together for the past 16 years. For a long time we tried to adopt a child, but the adoption agency told us that there was a very slim chance for us, as most parents wanted to send their children to a normal family. We are deaf-and-mute, apart from being gay", explained Alan in sign language, while his friend, Maria Miciani, interpreted it for TOI on Monday.

The gay couple has been able to complete their family at the Rotunda center for surrogacy in Bandra, which they found over the internet by just typing in a couple of keywords like 'gay' and 'surrogacy' post which they found this center. "After visiting the place, we decided to go ahead with the procedure," explained Brian.
