Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend David Burtka have signed on to a surrogacy service, and are now sorting through potential surrogates to carry their baby, a source is now telling Star Magazine. According to the source, Neil and David are using the same surrogacy service – Growing Generations – as Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Which is weird, because Star Magazine also had the scoop on SJP’s babies before she officially announced the babies, too. Methinks the mysterious “source” is someone working at Growing Generations. They should get on that, because it’s a gross violation of privacy. That being said, I feel pretty good that this report is probably true:

It’s more like How I Met Your Fathers! TV star Neil Patrick Harris and his partner of five years, actor David Burtka, are currently in the process of selecting a surrogate mother to carry their baby, Star has learned exclusively.

The couple is using the same agency, Growing Generations, in L.A., that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick turned to for their twin girls, due in July.

After going through a rigorous screening process, “Neil and David were so relieved and excited once they were approved,” says the source. “Now they have so many surrogate profiles to go through to find the right woman to carry their child.”

“Neil and David can’t wait to hold their baby; they don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. They just want a healthy child,” says the source.

Star Magazine is billing this as “Neil Patrick Harris is expecting a baby NOW” when he and his boyfriend haven’t even selected the surrogate they want to use. Am I wrong is believing this report? Last year, Neil told OK! That he was hoping California’s Prop 8 was passed, but he personally had no urge to get married. He did say he definitely wanted to be a father, and he told OK!, “I think I’d make a good dad.” I hope this report is true, and if it is, congratulations to Neil and David!
