*READ THE UPDATE BELOW!* Sign the petition!: bit.ly Belgian gay couple Peter and Laurent have a son, Samuel -age 2,5- who is trapped in an Ukranian orphanage. Laurent is Samuels biological father. The little boy was conceived through insemination with a Ukranian surrogate mother.

People do not choose to be gay, should they therefore ignore their deep desires to mary, have their own children, create their own family?! Let's hope this finds a solution, and fast! So that Samuel can get home to his loving family!
