"Emily thinks it's perfect, Sarah gets a baby from someone she knows and trusts, and our children would have a half-sibling they already love."

However, he added: "The kicker? They don't want to do it through a clinic.

However, he added that he would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to the idea.
