Men Having Babies - Track 4

Center Families hosted their annual Men Having Babies program. A panel of parents, gestational carriers, lawyers, doctors and surrogacy providers presented information to wannabe parents with a special focus on how to reduce costs. While this podcast is long, the podcast editor, Stefano Biaggioni, was engaged by the content throughout the entire program. The lawyer, Melissa Brisman, is really able to allay the fears that come up for future parents in the surrogacy process. The gestational carrier, Leah, explains why a woman would want to carry another person’s baby. And the parents give fascinating insight on their personal journeys in surrogacy and parenting.
