What's it like for a gay couple to create their family through egg donation and surrogacy. We talk with Armando Correa, People Magazine En Español's Editor In Chief and author of In Search of Emma: How We Created Our Family.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Did you always want to be a parent?
  • Did you think that you would get to realize that dream?
  • What options for becoming a parent did you consider?
  • Why did you decide on surrogacy?
  • Did you also use a separate egg donor?
  • What was your process to finding an egg donor and surrogate?
  • Was cost a consideration?
  • How much did it cost you in total to become Emma’s dad?
  • What has happened to your family since Emma arrived?
  • What would you recommend to other gay guys who want to become a father?
