Subject: Sir Elton John becomes father via surrogate
Written By: Philip Eno on 12/28/10 at 3:03 pm
Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish have become parents to a son born to a surrogate mother in California.
Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born on Christmas Day, the UK musician and Canadian filmmaker told the Usmagazine.com website.
"Zachary is healthy and doing really well, and we are very proud and happy parents," said the couple.
They provided no details about the surrogacy arrangement.
"We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment," the couple told the website in a statement.
They said the boy weighed 7lb15oz (3.6kg).
A representative for the couple said they intended to protect and respect the privacy of the surrogate mother, and would not be discussing any details relating to the surrogacy arrangements.
Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker and her actor husband Matthew Broderick had twin girls by a surrogate mother in June last year and in 2008, pop star Ricky Martin also used a surrogate to have twin boys.
Sir Elton and former advertising executive Mr Furnish met in 1993 and were joined in a civil ceremony in 2005.
Last year the couple tried to adopt a 14-month-old HIV positive boy from Ukraine named Lev.
However, Ukrainian officials said Sir Elton, 63, was too old and his civil partnership with Mr Furnish, 48, would not be recognised as a marriage by Kiev.
In December, Mr Furnish told the BBC that they were working to ensure Lev and his brother "have the best health care, education and family options available to them".
Sir Elton released his 30th studio album in October this year.

sperm, Howard. Part of the stuff babies are made of.
The surrogate of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broadrick is from the next town over from where I grew up. The chief of police from that town and a neighboring town was charged with breaking in to her house and taking pictures to sell to some magazine. :o ::)
Good Luck Elton and David.

Well, half of it in terms of chromosomes. As Yogi Berra used to say, "It ain't ova 'till it's ova!"
I never heard the term "baby batter" until the 1996 film "Flirting With Disaster." Fritz Boudreau says something about,
"I dropped a lot of baby batter in my day..."
