Welcome to our journey to fatherhood! I'm D! In 2013 I met and fell in love with my now-husband R. We know that there are other blogs about gay dads that are very open, but we are fairly private, so for now, this blog is going to be semi-anonymous. Over the course of the next year and a half, we'll be posting about our journey through surrogacy, and we hope to bring you reviews, interviews, and reflections on our experience.
So now for the backstory:
We have been married now for a year and a half, in our early thirties, and have decided it's time to start our family. We both want children biologically related to us, and we want our children related to each other, so that means surrogacy and using the same egg donor for our two children. R is Indian and D is Caucasian, and in order for our kids to have a chance of looking a little bit like each of us, we hope to find an Indian-Caucasian woman as an egg donor. But we'll get to that search in a later post.
Right now, we are at the beginning of our journey to be Intended Parents. We didn't find a lot of information out there, and while there are a couple rating and review sites, and even some blogs of young women during their journey as surrogates, we thought it would be great to offer our first hand insight during our journey. Now, if you have looked into surrogacy at all, you know that it is a VERY expensive journey. In some parts of the US, you can buy an entire house for the cost of one surrogacy journey. Which is why this blog is going to feature ads and soon a GoFundMe site. We're excited to be on this journey and look forward to sharing it with you!
We hope to post once a week, so stay tuned for next week when we share why we decided to pursue surrogacy in the United States.
