Lesbian mothers lose twin appeal
The lesbian mothers of IVF twin girls have lost a legal bid to sue their doctor for the cost of raising one of the toddlers, according to AAP.

The women, whose names have been suppressed, sued prominent Canberra obstetrician Sydney Robert Armellin for more than $400,000 for implanting two embryos instead of the requested one.

The ACT Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favour of Dr Armellin, and ordered the couple pay his legal costs.

The IVF procedure, which used sperm from a Danish donor, resulted in the birth of twin girls, now aged four.

The court was told the twins' birth mother had lost her capacity to love and the couple's relationship suffered as they became mired in everyday tasks associated with raising two children.

But Dr Armellin's lawyer said loss of freedom was experienced commonly by parents across Australia.

What a joke! Dr Armellin should sue the mothers for wasting his time on such trivial matters.

They, instead, should be grateful that they have two healthy children as there are so many childless couples unable to have children for all sorts of reasons in this world.

Lack of sleep, always exhausted, financial strain is all part of the every day life of raising children and I would say, most parents wouldn't have it any other way.

They need to get over it and get on with and ENJOY raising their children as they will be grown up before they know it.

Maybe they should have gone for that puppy in the window instead?
