"'Love lost' over lesbian twin blunder
September 19, 2007 - 1:43PM

lesbian mother of twins who was mistakenly implanted with two embryos instead of one during IVF has since lost her capacity to love, her partner told a Canberra court today.

In the first case of its kind in Australia, the lesbian couple is suing prominent Canberra obstetrician Dr Sydney Robert Armellin for more than $400,000 in the ACT Supreme Court for implanting two embryos instead of the requested one.

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

Their mothers, whose combined income is almost $120,000, want $398,000 to cover the costs of raising one of the girls, including fees for a private Steiner school in Melbourne.

They are also seeking around $15,000 to compensate them for time off work, and an additional amount for medical expenses.

The birth mother's partner told the court today at times she felt their relationship would not survive the stress after learning they were to have twins.

"My observation is that (the twins' birth mother) was one of the most confident and centred people that I have met," she said.

She described her partner as being an extremely generous and loving person before she fell pregnant.

"She (the twins' birth mother) always said that she had a big heart filled with love," the woman said, weeping.

"I find (now) that she doesn't have the same ability to love that she used to and the same capacity to, I guess, embrace differences and issues as a couple or as a team."

She said the pair lost their lives functioning as a couple, becoming mired in everyday tasks associated with raising two children.

Dr Armellin's barrister Kim Burke said the pair's loss of their lives as a couple was commonly experienced by parents across Australia.

"I suggest to you you have described the situation nearly every couple in Australia suffers in the circumstances where they are no longer in a single relationship with each other but they've the burden of a child or children."

The civil hearing before Justice Annabelle Bennett continues."

Poofs should not be allowed to adopt or raise children. It increases the risk of the children turning homo themselves.
