I Want to Put a Baby in You!

Episode 55: The Danish, The US, And The Intricacies of International Surrogacy - Kaspar Arianto


Listen Later

For Kaspar and his husband starting a family meant the world. Literally. They travelled from Denmark to the US to fulfill their dreams of having twins. Coming from a country were surrogacy is considered a legal grey zone, planning their journey went beyond budgeting for immense economic and emotional costs. They also had to factor in potential legal backlash, insurance problems and one looong flight home.
Listen as Kaspar discusses with Ellen and Jenn:
• How surrogacy is viewed in Denmark. And most of Europe, for that matter.
• Kaspar and Lambang’s back story – 3 days into the relationship and they wanted kids!
• Their process in deciding to use surrogacy.
• Flipping their home to fund the surrogacy journey.
• How they went about finding an agency and clinic.
• How they chose their egg donor.
• Time for the retrieval… 55 eggs?! Woah.
• Meeting their gestational carrier.
• Will there be more kids?
• Understanding American health insurance.(Do Americans even understand it?)
• Celebrating the small milestones.
• The trip home and their epic playlist for the flight.
