My apologies if this has been posted before.
 
However there was an article in yesterdays' NY Times about the book, And Tango 
Makes Three.
 
A Baby for the Gay Authors Behind the Daddy Penguins
By Jennifer 8. Lee
Ever since “And Tango Makes Three,” a children’s book detailing the story of two 
male penguins and the baby chick they hatched, has been published, in 2005, more 
people have requested the book’s removal each year from schools and libraries than 
any other book in the United States, according to the American Library Association.
Now the authors of the book, 
Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, have their own baby Tango. In February, the 
gay couple, who live in the West Village, had their first child. The baby, Gemma 
Parnell-Richardson, was born to a surrogate mother, the egg fertilized by sperm 
from one of the men. (Which one was left to chance.)
