Show Notes

On today’s episode of Fertility Cafe, we explore everything you need to know about surrogacy for gay parents. With advancements in assisted reproductive technology and expanded access to family-building resources for the LGBTQ community, it’s fully possible for gay men to have their own biological children. More gay men are turning to parenthood via surrogacy than ever before. Host Eloise Drane dives into how surrogacy works for gay men and what they can expect from the process.

We cover the entire process, taking you from the very basics of baby-making in the not-so-traditional way, to the egg donor and surrogate selection process, and beyond. We’ll talk through an overview of what a surrogacy journey entails, from start to finish, with a special emphasis on how gay men experience it.
