Trigger warning: pregnancy loss
In today’s episode we meet with parents Bret Shuford and Stephen Hanna, Broadway husbands, who started a family by choosing surrogacy. We start with learning a bit about the couple and how they decided to use surrogacy over other methods of conceiving. We talk about building a connection with the surrogate and the newborn. We also chat about the parenting roles in same sex couples, as well as the barriers faced when living in a difficult social climate. Stephen and Bret talk about their experience with a newborn and how they deal with Maverick’s emotions – I love how they totally balance each other out in terms of parenting style.
