Elton John shared one moment from his life when his sexual orientation prevented him from becoming a father. So, appearing on Dua Lipa‘s podcast, this male celebrity talked about his visit to an orphanage in Ukraine in 2009. There he saw a little boy whom he wanted to adopt. He carried this child in his arms and loved him very much. The news of the upcoming adoption spread all over the world. However, Elton and David were denied on the grounds that they were gay.
Of course, the couple was very upset by this decision. However, it was this boy from Ukraine that was the impetus for them to have their heirs by a surrogate mother in 2010 and 2013.
