Elton John David Furnish
Elton John's partner said the couple might consider having another baby

Sir Elton John's partner David Furnish has said the couple want to have another child but "nothing's decided yet".

Furnish said he thought Zachary, born via a surrogate on Christmas Day 2010, "would be better" with a brother or sister.

He told the London Evening Standard: "It's something we talk about all the time. But in terms of when, where and how, nothing's decided yet."

Furnish said the couple would discuss it this summer and would like to go back to the same egg donor "so biologically there would...be a connection" to Zachary, but conceded she "has a life of her own".

He said: "It's a big commitment to make, nine months of their life that doesn't just affect them but their children, their husband, their partner".

The couple's civil partnership was formalised in 2005 and rock legend Sir Elton initially announced he wanted to adopt a 14-month-old boy from an orphanage in Ukraine.

But his plans to adopt were reportedly thwarted by Ukrainian laws.

The baby isn't Elton's and David's. It belong to whoever provided the sperm and whoever provided the egg.

I'm not saying that Elton and David don't have the right to nurture children, I'm simply saying that the baby is not theirs. And I say this as a gay man.

So parents of any adopted children are not actual parents of those children? What pathetic ignorant logic.

I can't believe Elton at his age would entertian should anotion, he will barley live to see he child out of High school. I think parents that have kids late in life do there children a disservice

Over in the Crime section we have a Father and Mother who deliberately starved a child to death while they made him write reports about his abuse which they kept. We have men and women who beat, starve, cage, threaten and rape children each day....and some people think John is "sick" for wanting to bring a child into the world to love and raise? We need to step back and pull that beam out of our own eye before we complain about anyone else. Once we solve the problem of abuse of children maybe we can discuss how anyone else parents.

Elton John has given a substantial portion of his fortune for Aids and Pediatric Aids charities, and even though the Ukrainian govt denied him the chance to adopt he still made sure the kids at the orphanage got new equipment and toys. John has donated just as much of his time as he has money. If he wants to expand his family, its a choice he's making for himself and he and Furnish deserve to expand their family. I wish them well.

A brother or sister would be nice. I hope everything can be arranged and their family can grow.

Mixed emotions on this one? Wouldn't it be good idea to donate a few million pounds to Children In Need for the benefit of many young lives, or set up a foundation that will live on for years to come. I believe he is a very caring, and generous man.
On the other hand if they decide that they want another child in their own family, then that is what they should do, regardless of adverse comments about age. Despite all the pressure on them, they have stayed united, and obviously in love. Elton John has given pleasure to countless families, and people all over the world with his music, he deserves his share of happiness with his partner, and young son. Let's wish them well.
