In this episode of Modern Conception, Andy Youmans shares his journey to becoming a single father by choice through surrogacy and egg donation—and why waiting for the “right” partner was never part of his plan.

Andy opens up about deciding to pursue parenthood on his own terms, navigating the logistics and emotions of building a family solo, and raising his daughters with pride, honesty, and intention. His story challenges outdated ideas about what families are supposed to look like and offers a powerful reminder that love, preparation, and commitment—not tradition—are what truly define parenthood.

Brittney explores what it means to rewrite the script around fatherhood, masculinity, and modern family-building—and why choosing your path unapologetically can be the most powerful decision of all.
