"We’re Both The Other Daddy" - Two Dads, An Egg Donor, A Surrogate And A Baby

This week we listen to Stu’s chat with TwoDads.U.K, Michael and Wes, fathers of three; two via surrogacy and one from a previous relationship. Michael and Wes talk about the relationship they have with their surrogate, preparing yourself for every possibility when it comes to fertility treatments and the reforms on the Surrogacy Arrangements Act. Stu and Lotte catch up on the good old fashioned telephone and learn about surrogacy and talk changing mindsets when it comes to heteronormative methods of having a child.
