Part 1 - Trials and Triumphs in my Same-Sex Surrogacy journey

Out Loud: Exploring LGBTIQA+ Stories & Topics.

Embarking on the road to parenthood, my partner Damien and I faced a labyrinth of emotions and decisions, a journey that's as unique as it is universal. For anyone who has dared to dream of a family that's a little different, a little brighter, step into our story of love, legacy, and the lengths we'd go to bring our daughter into the world. Our intimate exploration unravels the tapestry of our ten-year quest, weaving through the trials of surrogacy laws across borders, the ethical quandaries we grappled with, and the financial hurricanes we weathered on salaries that were anything but grand.
Join us as we recount the heart-wrenching moments of selecting an egg donor and the groundbreaking 'glue' procedure that offered a beacon of hope during our IVF trials. Feel the tension in the silence before the pregnancy test, the euphoria of a positive result, and the tempered joy in sharing our news. As we stand at the threshold of a new chapter, our narrative invites you to celebrate the remarkable and often invisible triumphs of LGBTIQA+ parenting, offering a candid lens into the transformative power of love and perseverance.
