For a member of the gay community, becoming a parent involves many factors, yet it’s a wonderful and emotional journey. …
The dream to become a parent through gay surrogacy process (gay or straight parent) connects us immediately to our parents, they serve as an example of good parenting and also an example of them not doing a great job raising us (in our view).
