海斯：我想當爸爸
I'd like to be a dad
前野人花園主唱戴倫海斯與伴侶李察庫倫考慮領養小孩
海斯於日前表示他與同志伴侶李察庫倫打算領養小孩。他說，他的生命應該要有孩子才會完整，當初清楚自己性向時還稍微無法接受，因為為父心切。領養手續會比照其他名人爸媽領養程序，海斯表示他自己比較偏好年紀大的孩子，因為很多爸媽都不喜歡大孩子，他希望讓孩子都能享有應得的童年。
海斯正在製作明年發行之新專輯，同時Too Close for Comfort及A Big Night In演唱會DVD將於聖誕節前發行。
FORMER Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes and his male partner Richard Cullen are considering parenthood through adoption.
The former Aussie music frontman and his partner, who married in a civil service in the UK in June, would like to be fathers some day.
''Part of me knows that I probably won't feel complete or that I am doing what really matters in my life until I'm involved in something as selfless as being a parent,'' Hayes said from his UK home where he lives with Cullen.
''I am obviously not ready to do that yet ... (adoption) would probably be the only way we could do it, I don't know.''
Hayes was previously married to university sweetheart Colby Taylor, but separated from her in 1999.
''When I first started realising that I was gay, there was definitely a sense of mourning that I had for the dream of a wife and 2.1 kids, a dog and a white picket fence,'' he said.
''I really struggled with the idea of not being a dad.
''Now that I am older, I realise that what I have is an income and a platform that could probably give a child an opportunity that they would never have had.''
If the couple were to adopt, they would follow the trend of celebrity parents such as Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone and Australian Nicole Kidman.
Hayes said the couple were considering adopting an older child.
''There are so many older children ... that people don't want to adopt,'' he said.
The British government this year introduced the Civil Partnership Act, allowing same sex couples to marry in the UK.
In Australia, however, the Federal Government has opposed same-sex marriage and quashed ACT legislation allowing homosexuals to create civil unions.
''I have a monogamous, committed relationship, just like anyone else's marriage, only it is two boys in it,'' he said. ''And I can't see why every country in the world wouldn't make that a legal thing.
''I have always thought that I would eventually come home to Australia ... my hope would be that we could have a second home and that we could absolutely decide to grow old there one day.''
Hayes is working on his next studio album, which will be released next year, and has two DVDs - A Big Night In and Too Close For Comfort - out before Christmas.
