Could you engineer a baby for a same sex couple?

Kikazaru and Protogon have been fierce rivals in the designer baby industry/artificial wombs since time and memorial, but Kikazaru is looking to finally best its rival by introducing a new scheme: designing babies so same sex couples (biologically speaking since identity makes this a bit murky) can have a child of 'their' own.

Is it possible to engineer a embryo with genes of both partners (selected either by choice or selected by rng)? Would it be possible for say both two males, females, or would this service only be able to be provided to one such pairing? What issues might Kikazaru possibly run into with this scheme?

Ex: would chromosomes be an issue in any way or would it simply be: the child is going to be this sex without special intervention.

Note: While Kikazaru has experience in editing genes to change genotypes for things like: eye color, hair, general characteristics, etc. This (in my mind) would be uncharted territory.

They also have experience with gene editing to combat hereditary diseases if that could possibly be an issue (I'd be interested to hear if it would be).
