ABSTRACT
Traditionally, many homosexual people and couples have simply tried to hide their sexuality. But it is very difficult, or practically impossible, to hide one's sexuality once there is a child at play. But while Wangari found that living in the local communities as a queer person could be tricky, foreigners were in a situation to choose better neighbourhoods with other foreigners as neighbours and also mingle in those spaces. This, of course, could affect their ability to be close to locals, but she advised readers to familiarise themselves with the local LGBT community. Due to the challenges that come with adoption, some choose to have a child through the surrogacy. But surrogacy also raises strong emotions from critics, as it can carry problems in terms of exploitation, especially when surrogate mothers are poor and doing it simply for the money.
