Building your family

Two queer couples unite to have a baby


Listen Later

To kick off Pride, we are airing a special episode. Lauren Brown made her debut on our podcast

some time ago when she talked about her family-building journey with her wife Amanda. Since
then, she has become a gestational carrier for a lovely couple, Matt and Stephen. Together, they
are a winning team!

The couples have become very close and consider each other extended family. For those of you

who have doubts about surrogacy, watch this episode and you will quickly see how wonderful a
surrogacy journey can be.

In a world where fear and anxiety often take center stage, I encourage you to remain open to

stories like these. Sometimes the scary voices are louder, so it may take a bit of time or effort to
find another point of view, but I encourage you to do so.

We can easily see what is in front of us. This is true for politics, reproduction, and even our

emotions. Looking a bit further can help you open your eyes and your heart.
I think this episode will do just that. Enjoy, and happy Pride!
