LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A woman who gave birth to quadruplets for two gay men is expecting again.

Ten months after giving birth to the quadruplets, Brooke Verity of Nicholasville says she is pregnant again through in vitro fertilization.

Four embryos were implanted five weeks ago, Verity said. Medical tests haven’t revealed how many babies she is carrying.

The biological father of the quadruplets born July 26 is Michael Meehan, a Lexington lawyer. In the new pregnancy, Meehan’s domestic partner, Lexington hairstylist Thomas Dysarz, is the biological father, Dysarz said.

As with the first four babies, Meehan and Dysarz will share parenting duties.

“I wanted all the babies to be related,” said Verity, 24, explaining why she agreed to have more children for the couple.

“We were ready,” Dysarz said. “The four we have are a breeze. They will be 18 months old” by the time Verity is scheduled to deliver.

The couple said if this pregnancy doesn’t result in multiple births, Dysarz and Verity will try in vitro fertilization again so that he can have more than one biological child.

Verity, who has three children of her own, initially agreed to conceive a child with Meehan because she thought he and Dysarz would be good parents, she said.

Although Verity can see the quadruplets whenever she wants, she said, she visits the boys, Michael, Tristan, and Jacob, and the girl, Taylor, about once a month.

She said she purposely didn’t bond with the babies so that it would be easier to give them to Meehan and Dysarz.

“When I go over there and hold them, it’s like I’m holding my friends’ babies,” Verity said.

The men, who own Lexington’s two Planet Salons, juggle their schedules so that one of them is almost always with the babies, and they employ one nanny, Dysarz said.

Although the infants were born several weeks prematurely, at 10 months they aren’t showing any signs of medical problems or developmental delays, Dysarz said.

“They are crawling and pulling up. Michael is saying ‘da da,”’ he said. “They are perfect.”
