Sir Elton John and David Furnish Introduce Baby Zachary

Sir Elton John and David Furnish with Zachary

Oh, baby! Sir Elton John and partner David Furnish are on the cover of OK! Magazine UK with the latest addition to their family: baby Zachary.

Their bundle of joy, born on Christmas Day, has changed their lives in ways they couldn't imagine, they tell the magazine.

"I've never felt anything like it in my life," John said about holding his son for the first time. "You're so awestruck, I will never forget that feeling ever."

John and Furnish already have a parenting plan in place for Zachary.

"I'm ready to have a child and lavish my love on our son and not spoil him materially," John said.

The road to parenthood hasn't been an easy one for the couple, who tried to adopt two orphaned Ukrainian brothers -- one of whom is HIV positive -- in 2009, but were denied. The boys are reportedly in the orphanage looking for a home.

"We feel awful," Furnish said. "We keep hitting red tape. But we're not giving up until they're out and in a safe, supported home."

John and Furnish welcomed baby Zachary during the holidays via surrogate, whose identity remains private.

"We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment," the couple said in a statement to Us Magazine last month announcing the birth of their son. "Zachary is healthy and doing really well, and we are very proud and happy parents."

The couple, who married in 2005, have been together for 12 years.

Didn't your parents ever teach you if you don't have anything worth saying...keep your mouth shut? What is largely wrong with the world today is the epic loss of civility and manners.

I am with Bill, this is so wrong. The child does not stand a chance of a normal life. Which one is mommy, sick.

By Kattypants

Congratulations to you both!

By Jane

If you don't like it, don't read about it.
Congratulations to a couple who will be wonderful parents and give a child total love without judgement.

By octavius brickashaw

one wonders why--if you're going to all the trouble of finding a surrogate mother--didn't elton provide the sperm, thus truly fathering a child?

By Lynn

Also in reply to 'Jane' total love without judgment. That is a joke they already judge that women, you know like you, are not good enough to have relationships with, they like the same thing they already have to play with.

Pardon me while I puke.
By the way, I think Elton John is looking a lot like Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Jeeeezus! The world is so falling apart.
