Because surrogacy is still, NOT yet legalized in this country! On same-sex marriages & the rights that come along with this matter too, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Yesterday marks, the same-sex marriage rights being signed into law’s first anniversary, but, the same-sex marriages of spouses from a different nation, as well as the matter of adoption is still, lacking, plus, the surrogacy isn’t allowed here, a lot of the same-sex couples had to go overseas to have their babies, but, the starting cost of this is $600,000N.T.s, the gay and lesbian activist groups are hoping the laws on surrogacy and “artificial births” can be signed into law, for it to be fitted to the same-sex couples as well.
The Rainbow Equality Platform also started up the “Seeing the Rainbows, No More Homophobia Plan”, pushed forth four ideals on same-sex couples’ rights. The C.E.O. of the platform, Lu said, that she will keep on pushing forth for the amendments in adoption of children for same-sex couples, the artificial births, as well as international same-sex partners’ marriage to be valid, and discuss the rights of homosexuals being equal with the rest, and set up the “Local Equality Legislative League”.

The secretary of the foundation, Li said, being a legally married same-sex couple, the same-sex couples couldn’t have their young like heterosexual couples in the country, take for instance, the lesbians, it’d cost anywhere between $600,000N.T. to $1 million N.T.’s for having babies abroad, comparing to the costs of heterosexual couples’ $170,000N.T. to $200,000N.T.s, the cost is too different, and, by comparison, only the same-sex couples with a certain level of high enough socioeconomic statuses can afford to have babies.
The office manager of the Same-Sex Family League, Chu also stated, deducting the medical costs, other than the medical expenses, the collecting of data, going overseas to mediate the procedures, taking a leave from work to go abroad, straining the bodies to travel abroad, the language barriers, needed to be taken into consideration, and, with a slightest change in any of these areas, the same-sex couples’ plans to have babies can fall out in an instant.
The lesbians Mei-Ting and Yi-Jun as they were married last year, started planning “having children”, they’d selected the sperm out of an American donor bank, both of them couldn’t make up their minds, and in the end, they’d, selected Southeast Asia for the procedures, but because of issues in shipment of the sperms, in the end, they’d not gotten artificially inseminated. “It’s like throwing tens of thousands of dollars into the ditches”, the two still planned to continue the process, wait until the outbreaks had become, stabilized, and they are to fly abroad again, but still sighed on how the process is not only draining out their savings accounts, but their, energies also.

Li said, that the government only needed to amend the legislature from defining infertility being organic and pathological, to the “societal infertility”, then, the same-sex couples will be included.
The head of the national health agency of the Department of Health & Welfare Sanitations, Wang said, they’re still discussing the more subjective, the debatable laws, but they’re shifting toward the international trends.
And so, this, is the problems that came after signing the same-sex marriage bills into law, now, you don’t have any troubles, marrying your same-sex partners, but, having babies, that’s, another story, isn’t it? And this still just showed, how the laws aren’t, fully developed when it got written down, because before implementation, you don’t know what sort of issues you may face, and until you come face to face with these matters, then, more laws will either get passed or amendments to the constitutions will then, be made.
