Baby Steps: The True Cost of Surrogacy Ft. Brian Kelly (The Points Guy)

Jordana returns for another episode of Baby Steps, and this week she’s joined by The Points Guy himself, Brian Kelly, to talk all about becoming a single father through surrogacy. Brian walks us through the entire process of having a child of your own as a single gay man in America, starting with picking the right fertility doctor and surrogacy service – you might be surprised which one he thinks you should find first. He also shares some of the pitfalls of the process, including why he ended up choosing a different surrogate than the one he was first paired with. They talk all about the options for picking an egg donor, how much control you really have, and what it was like to help deliver his own child. Plus, Brian gets real about what it actually costs to go the surrogacy route when you add everything up. Thanks again to our presenting sponsor, BetterHelp!
