		<description><![CDATA[firstly I&#039;d like to say congratulations to Ricky on becoming a dad &amp; secondly i would like to say it really is NOT important that those children are being raised without a mother.

My mum &amp; dad divorced when I was 2 years old but my dad moved back in when his mother died 13 years ago, I have to say I was better off without my dad in my life when i was a child he literally treat me like a dog! He&#039;d fling a a ball &amp; tell me to &quot;fetch&quot; and pat me on the head &amp; say &quot;good girl&quot; and tell me to &quot;give us your paw&quot; and &quot;roll over&quot; &quot;play dead&quot; etc... all the things you would do to a dog.

My father also was brutal to my mother he smashed her head repeatedly against the door frame whilst I watched terrified what would happen next and whilst he was given the opportunity to visit me he barely even bothered to turn up to see me &amp; often when he did it was at about 1 or 2 in the morning when I of course was fast asleep.

As years went on sadly for me my mum became violent to me &amp; has even tried to knife me just a couple of years back she also tried to smash my head in with her walking stick &amp; is ALWAYS argumentative over the slightest pathetic things, She has THE most EXTREME violent temper you could imagine &amp; she&#039;s always cutting me down &amp; giving me a lot of mental abuse.

Also when I was seriously ill &amp; practically on my &quot;death bed&quot; she just left me there in my room never even so much as brought me something to drink or called a doctor. Also when I was violently sexually abused by a man who lived near us I told her after suffering in silence for 6 months &amp; she didn&#039;t give a damn all she said to my father when I was crying was &quot;my god is THIS all we&#039;re gonna get from her crying &amp; whining like a pathetic child&quot;

So in my opinion all that counts is that those children have love no matter WHO it comes from &amp; whether they have one parent or not.

Believe me I&#039;d rather have been an orphan I&#039;d have been far better off with NO parents in my life

believe me i would give ANYTHING to have just 100th of the love those two boys have!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that many people are  way concern about other peoples  life instead of being concern about what their spouse,husband,kids etc are doing behind their back. who cares if Ricky Martin is GAY ? he is a very well respected singer and human being. I am not surprise that he decide to start a family as a single parent since he always wanted to have children on his own. I am very happy for  you Ricky and God bless you and your twins, good luck and congratulations]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;Cute boys who look like their Dad. They appear fraternal to me, not identical. I wonder though, if the surrogate was also the egg donor, or if he chose a different biological mother by her appearance to better match his own. It can be done both ways. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Is this another way of saying he&#039;s gay. I guess so. Because most men would wait to get married before they had any kids. Or mabye he just hasn&#039;t found the right person yet and just can&#039;t wait. I don&#039;t know the situation. Anyways, good luck Ricky on your two new wonderful baby boys! And please come back to the music scene really soon. I miss you.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is one post I didn&#039;t expect to see such judgemental comments on. I am sad that so many people are being judgemental about Ricky instead of seeing him and his baby boys for what they are: A beautiful, loving family!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Families come in all shapes and sizes, and IMO, no one &quot;type&quot; of family is better or wose than the other (with the exception of kids being raised in abusive households and such), and just because a kid doesn&#039;t have an &quot;ideal&quot; or &quot;perfect&quot; family doesn&#039;t mean that kid is destined to grow up lacking or messed up in some way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My father, for example, did not have an &quot;ideal&quot; family when he was growing up. He had two parents, a mom and a dad, but his dad was alchoholic. Luckily he wasn&#039;t abusive (at least not toward his children. I have no idea whether or not he was abusive towards my grandmother) like some alchoholics can be, but still, he was an alcoholic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Abusive or not, obviously having an alcoholic father was far from ideal for my dad and his siblings. However, my dad still managed to grow into a very balanced, succesful, nice, loving, and caring man (and happily my grandfather didn&#039;t stay an alcoholic. My grandmother finally gave him an ultimatum: Clean up, or get out. He cleaned up.).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My point is that you can grow up in a less than ideal family and still turn out just fine!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>
