Men Having Babies

Why We Like It

Men Having Babies fills a critical niche that broader LGBTQ+ family resources often underserve. Its laser focus on the surrogacy journey for gay men — combined with financial assistance programs and a peer mentor community — makes it an indispensable resource for any gay or bisexual man considering surrogacy as his path to fatherhood.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Peer mentor network connects prospective fathers with experienced gay dads for candid guidance
