singapore | We’ll call him John. He and his husband grew up in Singapore and love the place. Unfortunately, his country does not recognise any legal relationship binding the couple with their twin daughters and younger son, all conceived by surrogates in the United States.

″⁣Our daughters need to have resident passes to go to school as they don’t qualify for Singapore passports,″⁣ says John, who doesn’t want to draw any attention to his family by using his real name. ″⁣We have begun the adoption process, even though it’s unlikely to succeed because gays generally aren’t allowed to adopt here. At least the girls now have temporary passes.
