ASRM Today: Gestational Carriers and LGBTQ+ Family Building

In this episode of ASRM Today, host Jeffrey Hayes and co-host Dr. Lowell Ku continue their season-long exploration of LGBTQ+ issues in reproductive medicine with a conversation about gestational carriers and surrogacy. They are joined by Dr. Bryan McGolgan, founder of Gay Dad Reporter, and Eric Windell, who is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 142025) with PBA Psychology Group in Los Angeles, CA, who specializes in supporting individuals and families who are navigating the intricate journey of family building through third-party reproduction assistance. Together, they explore the medical, emotional, and relational aspects of working with gestational carriers as LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursue parenthood. The discussion examines the importance of trust, communication, psychological support, and ethical considerations throughout the surrogacy process, as well as the unique challenges intended parents and gestational carriers may encounter along the way. The episode also highlights the long-term supports that can help foster healthy outcomes for intended parents, gestational carriers, and children alike.
