In 2008, American Thomas Beatie became the first man in the world to have a child. His story made international headlines. How is he today?
Congratulations, you have now given birth to three children.
Thank you, they are great kids. Susan is 16 and speaks Japanese. At 15, Austin is already playing excellent chess. And Jensen, at 14, loves computer games. I’m overjoyed to have her. Even if the path was very difficult.
After gender reassignment surgery, you kept your uterus and ovaries. Since your then wife Nancy was unable to have children due to total surgery, you decided to become pregnant using artificial insemination. What was the biggest hurdle?
Finding a doctor who agreed to treat me. Many refused to help us. We searched for a good year and a half and contacted nine doctors.
