The First Man on the Moon Laurent Pehem

"The First Man on the Moon is a riveting story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, a true page-turner, full of unexpected twists." When Laurent and Harry, a gay couple living in Europe, learn that their adoption application has been rejected because of their sexual orientation, they embark on an insane journey across the globe to become parents. Their adventure takes them to Bangkok, Thailand, where they come across unscrupulous surrogacy agents and must find their way through the shambles of Thailand's big fertility business. And just when you think they are about to reach their objective, a military junta seizes power in a coup, and declares surrogacy out of bounds. If Laurent and Harry's yearning for a family is enduring, the possibility of finally becoming parents is far from certain. The First Man on the Moon is a true story with an unpredictable outcome and told with a dry sense of humor.
