We (Wes and Michael) are Dads to our children, Katie, Talulah and Duke. Talulah and Duke were born with the help of our amazing Surrogate Caroline, (and our incredible egg donors). We’re on a mission to help raise awareness of Same-Sex Parenting and help normalise our own modern family, as we hopefully help shine the spotlight, positively on families like ours, with either two Mummies, two Daddies, one Mummy or one Daddy.

We’re active campaigners for change, and we love a challenge. We’re already very proud to have supported implementing change with the introduction of new guidance to Healthcare professionals issued by the Department of Health back in 2018. We’ve also been involved with the 2019 Law Commissioners consultations, and more recently have been challenging those NHS Trusts who ignore the 2018 guidance, ensuring all staff are trained in how to manage the care equally with Surrogates and Intended Parents by the end of 2021.

We’re huge champions and supporters of UK Surrogacy, as this is where and how our family was created, and we’ve developed some incredible relationships with the Fertility sector here in the UK, including many clinics, egg and sperm banks, the Surrogacy ‘not for profit’ agencies and the regulators, the HFEA whom we meet with regularly. We enjoy nothing more than telling our story, via our blog and our social channels, helping other Intended Parents (IP’s) understand how accessible UK Surrogacy is.

We’ve a busy couple of years ahead of us, whether it’s our missions such as #DadsChangeToo to help Dads all over the UK change their children safely, the work we do to de-stigmatise surrogacy and same-sex parenting with positive brand collaborations or perhaps launching the UK’s latest Surrogacy Agency due Winter 2020 – we certainly like a challenge. Oh, and we’re Dads too remember!
